Etsy has hidden feedback for buyers, but the other features are all still in place and users are automatically opted in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245259064183064432.post-25470170160244585432011-03-22T14:02:09.911-07:002011-03-22T14:02:09.911-07:00Etsy has already removed the incriminating links f...Etsy has already removed the incriminating links from profiles: http://www.etsy.com/storque/etsy-news/rethinking-feedback-12472/<br /><br />Sounds more like a new feature (full name on your profile) brought to light a feature that already existed (buyer/seller feedback is public). Your shopping history was never public, only your feedback history.<br /><br />This still stands as a lesson in testing. You never know how a new feature on one part of the site will affect other parts of the site (a lesson I learned very quickly after getting my first design job).Jackson Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083373623596642663noreply@blogger.com
