i have searched the forums as well as google for a way to scan the skills or just the status of another avatar.
such as in the screenshot of the scammer in this thread: https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/n00bs-corner/117798-watch-out-guy.html
1. Read Alice's Guide (also in my sig if you dont wanna scroll up)
2. Read Forums (try to browse all sections)
3. Find a mentor (explained in Alice's guide)
