[ticket/10120] Make profiles publicly viewable by default

[igorw]

Give guests u_viewprofile permission.

http://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-10120

[p]

Comment needs to be updated now that viewprofile permission is also granted.

[imkingdavid]

As discussed in the ticket, still to be done are:

1. make newly registered users' profiles only viewable to registered users
2. deny profile access to bots by default (can be allowed per bot, I think?)

1. make newly registered users' profiles only viewable to registered users

What is needed for this?

1. deny profile access to bots by default (can be allowed per bot, I think?)

I assumed this was already the case?

1. make newly registered users' profiles only viewable to registered users

If this is for spam purposes, we will be having the new permission to not allow new users to update some profile fields.

1. deny profile access to bots by default (can be allowed per bot, I think?)

I think that bots should be able to view something if guests are able to.

@igorw you plan on adding profile view access to bots? I do not think that search bots typically like being discriminated against (they can't see things normal guests can).

What's the status here? I think its fine for merge, as I agree on

I think that bots should be able to view something if guests are able to.

also as for

is already merged

Ideally tests for 1) ability of guests to view profiles, 2) ability or inability of bots to view profiles (still not clear which is the case with the patch).
