I am in complete agreement. I will take it a step further though. Not only should members have privacy controls over each and every thing posted....but admin should too.

Depending on what type of site we build, admin needs complete control as well. There are dating sites, community sites, dating/community sites, etc...

If I (as admin) want to make a photo folder public...and another folder set as private for each one of my members...I should be able to do that. I should (as Admin) also have see more the ability to control what material my members can mark as private.

In short....members should be able to mark everything individually as private......but admin should as well. Some of us (admins) may never need to enable private material....but we should at least have the ability to do so.
