I'd like a way to "turn on" certain stats and make them public with one click. The stats I'm most interested in showing off to other parties are how many views my journal entries have. Other stats which could be made public at the author's discretion are: item views, exact ratings given (like showing what particular ratings an item has gotten--two 4's, three 5's, a 4.5, a 2, etc., rather than JUST the average total), reader stats (for example the average age, gender and such one finds in their advanced statistics), etc. Such an idea would NOT apply to things like reviews because these are made public at the REVIEWER'S discretion, not the author's. I'm just talking about the stats that the author can see, which don't infringe on other members' copyrights or privacy. Perhaps this usage could be limited to paying members since they are the only ones with access to summary stats anyway, and it can be toggled on and off as the author sees fit. (For example a "Show Stats" or "Publicly Display Stats" button on every individual item, so the author can choose which items to display stats on, and can turn it on and off as they wish.)
