Profiles are the main point of information about each other. So it's an important task to fill out "YOUR" profile.
General
Privacy
Pictures
Empty profiles
If a member has an profile, i.e. no pictures, no description, ask him or her to fill in some more info into their profiles. If the person has a problem filling in the profile, you could offer some help if you're geographically close. At couchsurfing you can pre-emptively block couch requests from members with empty profiles ("Edit my profile" page, "Privacy" tab: choose "Yes" for "Contact by complete users only?" Members with empty profiles will then be unable to get "Couchsurf with.." or "Contact" links when they reach your page.)
Additionally, a note on your own profile explaining that only members with completed profiles will be able to contact you, may (one hopes!) encourage people to fill theirs in.
Copyrights
The networks claim very different rights for the stuff you upoad or create on the pages. Usually you agree by accepting the terms of use to this. From plain stealing to open licences you could find everything. So it's a good idea to inform yourself about the actual status. In anycase think twice before giving away valuable pictures, text an other stuff.
