43 Things should improve everything related to "smackers."

I totally agree.

It’s basically a defunct system which kills any personal messaging between users. People are so afraid of using the messaging option that they don’t even reply to messages they’d get paid smackers for replying to.

43 Things should take away the 'cheer this entry/goal' function when the goal/entry has already been chered

No defined opinion?

I used to think this should be done but then I managed to cheer someone again actually so I figured that if it has been a while since you’ve cheered a goal you could perhaps cheer it again…

Don’t know anything concrete about it though so I don’t really know what to say about this.

If it definitely isn’t possible to cheer a goal twice that link definitely shouldn’t still always be there.

Perhaps 43 people should add the Cher option too ;-)

43 Things should allow me to remove/edit the picture in an entry

It also seems to have a problem with changing the picture after you’ve pushed the preview button.

43 Things should allow users to find others *in their own area* with the same goals –1 cheer

I agree. This should be made easier and more central. It ups the usability, enforces the community and probably provides outreach for the site.

All the info is there..

43 Things should regulate capitalization in goal titles –2 cheers

I think Daniel’s explanation is fair enough.. but I find the current system creates conflicts between personal space and social space. I find it a shame that if you don’t like how a goal is spelled and re-write it you’ll probably end up sharing that goal with no-one. If you on the other hand decide always to take the most popular versions of the goals you have you won’t have any control over how your goals page looks.

Regulating the spelling would be a kind of a rule enacted by a social contract, which is what communities generally do to solve such conflicts. We could even have it voted on.

Another idea would be to allow users to personalize their pages more. Each user could then get to edit how goals were represented on his page while still linking to a communal goals. (for example)
