Since the user directory data can be also scrapped by anyone from user profiles, can I suggest we enable again the user directory only for logged in users?
I think being able to understand people activity can be important in different dynamics, some examples:
- Reward users who are providing consisten solutions on #help-and-support, empower them, maybe asking them to become moderators eventually.
- Understand if people in moderation roles has been inactive for a long time and maybe need a break/support. (this will be a need for the current moderation selection criteria proposal)
- Identify users whose content receives a lot of likes often, to empower this leadership.
Right now there is no way to do so without stats, they are not even present for admins, mods.
Cheers.
