I’d like to suggest to the admins a policy of minimum profile disclosure prior to accessing the network. I have dozens of connection requests from users without so much as a photo, let alone what they do and where they do it. You should also send out a notice to users to fill out a minimum profile or face deletion. There’s way too much chaff in our wheat here.

I agree with most of what you say. During the many years that I've participated on S32, I guess that I've declined 95% (or more) of the invites I received. I'm a member of a small cadre of vetted & working professional writers - by invitation only. (It's almost like a secret society, but without the handshake.) But S32 is different; It's an open/public forum where the dreamers and wannabes hang out. There are a few for-real writers and filmmakers in here - and there are a lot of posers too. Caveat emptor! (But that too is a part of the education that a newbie/amature needs). So while I agree that I'd like to see an effort to improve the value of S32 as a professional platform - everybody needs to start someplace. I'm grateful that S32 exists.

Consider your suggestion taken, Dan Yeager! I'm writing a follow-up blog to my intro that will address the importance of completing your profile: https://www.stage32.com/blog/Find-Your-Community-on-Stage-32
Perhaps I'll start a post asking for more feedback before I launch it! Thanks for reaching out!
