Send Messages to users without public/peer profiles
Sending a message to another user / adding a user to ones contacts is currently only possible via the user page.
If the user page is private, it is not possible to send them messages. This might contradict to the settings for sharing and contact requests.
- a user might allow public/peers to share (send messages, pages, and invitations)
- a user might allow public/peers to send request to be his contact
This is especially frustrating in groups: A click on a user name (for example of somebody who has been working on a group page) results in "Not Found - Sorry, we could not find what you were looking for."
Instead we want to show a message like: The profile is private. and links according to the privacy settings:
- Add to my contacts
- Send Message
Additional plans: If the user does not allow sharing and/or contact requests, we want to hide the information that the user exists. Instead of showing the error page mentioned above (which is shown on the people page), a Page Not Found outside the people navigation point shall be shown.
