Would love the sidebar option one vote here.
Agency Directors should have the ability to view all agents stats. and skills EX.-Cases Quit, Cases Solved, False Accusations and Det. skills this would help with agency goals and directing the group as a whole in common direction. Only for their own agents , once agent leaves so goes the accessability. Any takers???

Think it is fair for an agency to know what your getting before you hire someone, yep and it would be real nice if people would tell you they have mutiple detectives if that was against agency policy. So knowing that info would be useful as for how many quits ect does not have much to do with how good some one is. Agencys need to put policys in place to help members, like not playing with two false and helping each other out with funds to pay off shady.

My main problem with all of this is...I'm a private person and my business is no one else's business unless or until I decide to make it their business. Even if something like this was done it still wouldn't stop the people who wanted to cause trouble. Trouble makers will always find a way. And as it's been stated before...some people play on more than one computer, more than one person plays on the same computer. How would you know who was who and who was doing which? It would still be left up an honor system of sorts.

Like I said there are more ways then IP address. After all is able to say if people are playing with 3 characters in one agency. Via that, and paypal etc etc etc. There are people that pay other peoples subscriptions, but also Ben knows who they are.

Trouble makes can't find a way if they are identified as such.

The reason why I am readily giving up my privacy. Is because so much shit has happened in some agencies. I personally don't get the privacy issue....I mean, it is not like I have my bank account details or my journal on my detective page. Privacy over a detective page would only be required for people that have a purpose to hide it. Like, they love chatting to people, pretending to be someone else. Or they love responding to themselves on the message board. Personally, the few times I found out that people did this over PM to me, I felt lied to. The few times that I saw this on the message board, I wondered if they were already in therapy...which is clearly where they need to be. Above all....definitely not in my agency.

Peter Gunn....you are not even subscribed? For a unsubbed person all these things don't even matter, as they can not be in an agency.

Privacy or not, my business or not. When someone wants to join an agency, it does become the business of the director to know.

In that light, perhaps this should only for agency joiners. A tun of us have unsubbed characters from the very distant past. It would clutter a detective page. I played with 3 detectives, before I subbed a 4th. I don't even know their names anymore, let alone password.

The time that I care to know, is when I hire someone. Like a resume, government check for criminal record, or checking a reference.

You also have to take into account that people can pay for each other through paypal. My sister and I both play on the same computer, but she doesn't have a credit card. Therefore, I allow her to give me cash and then use my credit card(paypal) to pay for her detective. Some people would mistake this as having more than one character, rather than two different people sharing a computer.
I think privacy is a big issue, and people should just ask if they want to know, rather than try to force information, and make assumptions.

Also, I do like my privacy. I am in a small agency, and I am not a "troublemaker." I don't send random messages to people, or even put people down. My biggest problem with this is trust. I guess I am old fashioned because I believe that if an agency discloses their policies before allowing others in, then they wouldn't need this feature. And even with the feature, there would be a lot of ways around it. It just seems like a lot of work for Ben, that may not be needed.

Hmmm but what about, a history showing up in what agencies a detective has been in?
I often get questions, "Do you know person X, she has been in a agency but refuses to say which one, and her PM asking me to join just weirded me out." Up on investigation, every person that I know that refused or claimed to not remember which agency they'd been in...most of the time it turns out they have been up to no good.

That sounds like a much better idea to me. That way it would show what agencies people have been in, and whether or not they are changing a lot.

Or...if they won't tell you...just don't hire them...
