This may be a little far fetched (along with my other ideas....) but I think it would be rather helpful.

Nearly everyone wants a decorated profile...It expresses our interests, our hobbies, sometimes even a sneak peak of who we are! However, not everyone finds it simple to decorate their profile...Some may be too young to completely understand the tutorials, and others...let's face it...we're quite lazy...Luckily, there are a handful of helpful users willing to edit profiles for these helpless users. So what's the issue? In order to edit a profile, you must know the password! Sharing passwords, as we all know, is against the rules; and quite frankly most users can't be trusted with your entire account!

The Solution:
I have a simple and safe idea for this....
Timmy, the clueless user would like his profile decorated. A helpul user, Jane, offers to style Timmy's profile for him. Timmy then goes to his profile and clicks "edit profile" then scrolls to the bottom. Timmy finds a text box there, where he enters the username of a user(Jane) who can gain access to his profile, and ONLY his profile. Jane then goes to Timmy's profile and now has access to his "edit profile" button. (Changing the password is only accessible by Timmy, the original "owner" ) Jane can now enter all the styling codes Timmy wants, for him. Once Jane has finished, Timmy then clicks "edit profile" himself, and removes her from "permitted profile editors" list.

Problems with the solution

Oh the irony of that title^....

Anyway, yes, of course Jane could add inappropriate and other rule breaking things to Timmy's profile, (but also could anyone else if he gave his password out) It's most probable that Timmy would check his finished profile right after Jane is done, and easily erase whatever "vandalism" she put on it.

Perhaps there can be a "Edit Log" which can be viewed by mods, so see who last edited the profile in order to give out appropriate punishment.

OR...Perhaps admins can select specific trusted users who can be Profile Designers who have the ability to edit profiles (Although, that would probably be a profile mod...)

I don't know....
Do you think the flaw cancels out the solution? Is this idea stupid altogether? : P
I was just brainstorming of easier ways for profile designers to help out without making other's break the rules...

There should also be a Profile Designer user rank, where their accounts are proven to be appropriate. +1

Some people should really get off their lazy butts.
