If my memory serves me right, the facepunchstudios.com forums had a smartness system, where if someone makes a spelling error, their smartness points are deducted, to a certain point where they get kicked off for a short amount of time. They also had a system where you could give someone like "funny", "cool", or "ZING!" awards for posts.

*hold's out stop sign*
woah my friend, I know none of us want our magnificent fourms to look like facepunch. I only meant the features (or something like them), in some tangent form to be introduced.

An updated calender would be nice.
Oh yeah and maybe a mod or two to clean things up a bit and keep things like the calender updated?

Many of the features you guys have mentioned above are available on the latest versions of free/open source "ready made" forums that have been around for a while and are widely used. Plus these versions are easily customised and adaptable to use existing databases...
So what I'm saying is that it should be easy to upgrade the board, etc. I for one would like to see a "cleaner" interface, and for the love of god, PM's!
If manpower is an issue, for example with moderation, then perhaps the older members (i.e. ones who have been here a number of years) could be given some abiliities to caution, ban, and delete posts. This is the norm for some other boards I've been on.
I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to read the entire thread, so please let me know if this has been tried before.

How about forcing new users to have one post in the introduction forum before they are allowed to post anywhere else? Not only will this encourage new persons to introduce themselves, it will end the problem with all the spambots that seem to have targeted the forums.

True. Perhaps also increase the minimum length for the first post. I think most will be in excess of 300 characters if answered fully.

I don't think anyone should be required to post an intro before they can post elsewhere (some people may want to test the forum out before deciding to stick around) but not letting them start threads (other then in the intro section) until they have a specific thread count (if that is even possible)

Hell no!
Besides, that'll just make it known to any spambot archives that the intro forum is the place for spambots to post.

Perhaps this has been asked before (potentially by myself, even), but why is the members list hidden? It gets annoying searching through old threads just to look up a member.

Further, the FAQ button leads to a page with only one question on it and the new posts function is disabled or defective... the latter in particular would be exceptionally useful.

I don't know if someone mentioned this already because there is no way in hell I'm going to look through fourteen pages but id like to have a religion thread section, simply because I would love to get to tear through a few idiot Christians from time to time

Then you might as well start now.
I'm not a Christian. I find the whole religion absurd, frankly. But does that make every Christian an idiot? For example, HumanePain on this very board. Is he an idiot? No, he's a highly respected member.

being respected doesnt make you intelligent for one thing
believing a jew lived 2000 years ago, walked on water, turned water to wine, raised the dead, was executed, came back to life, watches over you, can forgive you for your past, and was the son of a giant invisible man who lives in the sky watching over you and who created everything
that DOES make you an idiot

I won't try to defend Christianity, but should I call every American idiots because I don't like Bush?
