I was never much a user of my profile wall thing.
However, what I have realised is that they churn out here:

If you write on your wall/add stuff, it churns into the Activity section.
So, if someone writes on your wall, does it also churn out into Activity - ie, a dormant account can suddenly spout to Activity because someone writes on someone else's wall?
I don't like it.
Is there an option to not output profile walls into Activity?

Why can't they not output to Activity?
If someone adds a lot of stuff to their wall, then it will spam into Activity.
Some people have private conversations running on their walls that will spout into Activity.
Some people may think that their Profile wall is only viewed if someone clicks to view their Profile - ie, they don't realise it is spouting to Activity.
If you change your Profile picture then it tells the world.
The thing is a perpetual announcer of everything.
This Week's Leaders
What am I doing in that list - what are the 346 points for?
What is the point of this Activity thing?
EDIT:
I guess it is used to 'harvest' these point things?
There is a way around your profile picture from showing up on the Activity Feed. What some of us do is remove the picture that we have now and then add a profile picture. When doing it this way, it won't show up for everyone to see, the only person to see it will be you.
As for anyone wanting to hold private conversations, they can use the private messaging system that's available instead of using their wall/activity feed.
There have been members asking for a friends system like we have on the old TS3 site as some people don't want to see other members posts and they don't other members seeing their posts. I think SimGuruDrake has said something about the possibility of looking into something like that but I my guess is that it's not that high of a priority at the moment to add the friends system to the site at this time.
Then it's also been suggested that when we put members on our ignore list, that they would like to see it also working for the Activity Feed page since we can still see posts made by the blocked person. But then again, not sure how high on the priority list for this to be looked into at the moment.
And yes, members can still gain points by using the Activity Feed because whenever someone makes a post, then another member can give out Insightful, Like or Awesome to those posts. But as for the Post count that we have, the posts made on the Activity Feed doesn't count towards the Post count total. I have seen New Members spamming the Activity Feed thinking that they will get their Post count that way instead of posting in the forum sections of the site

Oh perfect! Thank you for informing us, guess now I don't need to fill up the activity board with all my failed avatar changes.

Post = post to your own wall and nowhere else;
Share= post to your wall and the Activity thing.
I do like this idea on having a choice on whether we want our posts to just show up on our walls or the Activity Feed since the New Members can't make their own threads when they need help with their game.
