So every so often on the forum things go south, and if someone isnt best mates with someone to get intouch with them ,you get the dont know whats going on, havent heard from them posts.
How about a buddy system where two members have each others personal contact details and can contact outside forum channels.
There would be a pinned post of who can contact who and if something seems off with something a member can ask the buddy to check out the member is ok / if they can log in and sort any issues.
May help with hacked accounts quicker , as an example.
Regulars can buddy as many as they want. Obviously not so useful for new members but its the established that seem to get hacked.
I reckon the hardcore here all know each other anyway but the on but not on everyday people like myself could benefit.
It was just a thought and may not have any legs but if it could be tweaked to work it may provide an extra benefit when needed.
