Here's an idea: Like most forums and communities, you should have the ability to private message a user or leave a public visitor message on their public 'wall'. It would just give a more of a sense of community.

Just a thought, Sam

Thanks for the input! We'll have to put this one off for the later becase now we have to focus on the core features - admin interface, login system and the ease of installation and upgrades. Evgeny (Apr 09 '10)

also the basic on-screen notifiation system about new responses is still missing - this one will be done soon. Evgeny (Apr 09 '10)

What is the status on this? I think, atleast for moderators/admins, we need to be able to interact in private with a user to warn them or between admins for discussing changes mether (Jun 25 '11)

https://github.com/fitoria/askbot-devel/tree/postman, not merged yet into the trunk. There is a way to send email to users in the "moderation" tab on their profiles, but it is a simple email only feature. Evgeny (Jun 25 '11)

Typically moderators have a hidden sub-forum for group discussions that discuss things that need to be private like the question of banning a particular user. I wonder if something like that is possible here mether (Jun 25 '11)

+1 This would be an excellent feature to keep experts on a site; not everyone gets a thrill out of answering questions, but high-karma users would be able to use this feature to network and gain [additional] value.

I would suggest a few requirements, though:

Users should have the ability to specify that they only want users with a minimum amount of karma to be able to message them (e.g., experts might only want to network with other experts).
Users should have the ability to add usernames to a block list if they do not (or no longer) want to receive messages from those other users.
A minimal amount of karma should be required before a user can send any private messages (to prevent spam and other forms of abuse).

Having a public wall would be interesting, although the profile screen is already so busy, I'm not sure where it would go!
