1) Make it so that posts from lower ranked members don't bump the thread to the top (ideally up to Member)
I like it but I've seen higher ranks do the bumping as well, so how about only bumping the thread whenever the "thread starter (OP)" posts something on the thread (this way moderators can easily monitor their actions [no loopholes])?
2) Get rid of the Announcement board completely and instead charge ICOs a fee to list here and once they do they get their own sub board in the Alt Coin section. If this happens then paid bumping is useless. Many of them would probably like having their own board and they could even be responsible for moderating it or mod it how they like.
I like this one as well but there are few things:
- Fees should be significant.
- The appearance of altcoin board, after having a lot of dedicated sub boards.
- theymos might not accept this one (in a way it has a similar effect to the "ad spaces" on this forum):
No ICOs
[1], banks, funds, or anything else that a person can be said to "invest" in; I may very rarely make exceptions if you convince me that you are ultra legit, but don't count on it. Ads may be rejected for other reasons, and I may remove ads even after they are accepted.
[1]: For the purposes of forum ads, an ICO is any token, altcoin, or other altcoin-like thing which meets any of the following criteria: it is primarily run/backed by a company; it is substantially, fundamentally centralized in either operation or coin distribution; or it is not yet possible for two unprivileged users of the system to send coins directly to each other in a P2P way. The intention here is to allow community efforts to advertise things like Litecoin, but not to allow ICO funding, even when the ICO is disguised in various ways.
