1) Make it so that posts from lower ranked members don't bump the thread to the top (ideally up to Member)

Could not agree more. Thumbs up!

Other suggestion: In addition...

Maybe up until Junior Member at most. People could be white-listed or purchase a Copper Membership to bypass them also.

Yeah I had the same thought lately.

We can be more flexible by reducing the captcha requirement only for Newbies, if we want.

We already have a restriction for newbies, which is ~~can not posting image~~ not to able to post image. We can easily add the capcha requirement for them as well. Both can be lifted if they buy copper membership.
