Prevent Album Exploitation Ideas
Idea 1:
In our chatting app, a common issue arises where one user (Person 1) requests photo albums from another (Person 2), receives them, and then blocks Person 2 without reciprocating—leaving Person 2 feeling tricked, insecure, and questioning their worth after repeated incidents. To combat these "photo hunters," we could add a visible feature on user profiles showing the total number of profiles they've blocked historically. This transparency would empower users like Person 2 to make informed decisions before sharing personal albums, aiming a safer, more trustworthy environment without compromising core privacy.
Idea 2:
Trust Badge System: Introduce badges or scores based on positive interactions (e.g., "Reliable Sharer" for users with low block rates and high mutual exchanges), which could be earned over time and displayed on profiles.
Idea 3:
Report and Pattern Detection: Allow users to flag "photo hunting" behavior, with the app's algorithm detecting patterns (like frequent blocks after album requests) and temporarily restricting such users from requesting albums.
