So lately I've noticed how it can be hard to find people to do M4M's with, even though many advertise themselves as being open for M4M's on their userpage. The problem is just finding these people who are open for M4M's since there is no real searching system for this, other than randomly clicking on userpages on beatmap threads (The Google Custom Search is flawed as it makes mostly mod ques pop up instead of player userpages when searching for M4M with it)
This leads me to my idea: The userpage itself could be improved with having boxes to tick such as "Open for M4M/NM/GD". This would ease out every mappers/modders life by a ton since you could actually search for other mappers with a search system to ask gds from or other modders to ask mods from, without having to go through the enormous trouble that it currently is. The only proper way to look for these at the moment (in addition to knowing the right people to ask) is #modreqs, but let's be real here; #modreqs isn't working properly and part of it has to do with people having to be online in order to participate in it or see others linking their maps. Implementing the box tick feature would allow for everyone to look for mods/m4ms/gds whenever they see fit!
The only real issues that I see with having this system would obviously be that
1) Some people would forget to tick/untick the options that they are not available for
2) There would be trolls ticking the boxes even though they aren't interested in it (Maybe make the option available to people with earned kudosu or submitted maps to ease this out a bit?)
Let me know if there is anything you think could be improved on this idea since I'm sure I might have missed something!
