• A 'bump button' for the marketplace that only allows you to bump your thread once every 24 hours. Manually bumping by posting will then be disallowed. As mentioned above, posts by lower ranked accounts could not be able to bump threads thus curbing potential abuse.

In addition for this one. Once another bump has been made after 24 hours, the old bump will automatically be deleted.


There won't be a bump to remove. It would just push your thread to the top, though if there was some sort of message left then obviously it should be removed.

• More admins or demi-admins added to help with account recoveries and other admin duties.

Recoveries are not really prioritised but I want this idea as well.

They're not prioritised because theymos and cyrus don't have time to do them. They don't have time to do much else it seems either. Account recoveries should be made a priority not just let users to languish for months without even a response. It theymos is in fact going to automate the system then that should be made a priority so nobody has to worry about losing their accounts and that's one huge issue taken care of without staff members being pestered to sort them out every day.

The donator rank shouldn't be created to give more benefits. I mean members should donate because they want to donate to the forum not because there is something coming with. I bought the Copper membership not to be able to post images (since I already could) but to make a donation indirectly. Like I participate in the forum life as I can.

I don't really buy this reasoning. You and anyone else could or can still donate to the forum without expecting anything in return. But you did get something. You got the copper title and are wearing it. Some people like it just for that alone or to show that they donated for it. These ranks would be the same. It's a way to show your appreciation for the forum and as a thanks you get some benefits. It's also a way to replace account sales and the shady business associated with them and instead of users buying them of a shitposting farmer or hacker the money goes to the forum instead. It's win win as far as I'm concerned.

For account security purposes I would like to see the forum have a email or any kind of notificatiom about a failed log-in attempt and also a permission via email to allow an unrecognized log-in to a new device or ip address. In this way our accounts will be secure from people who are trying to steal it. This kind of early prevention is similar to what other websites/apps are doing and it might really help a lot of people on protecting their accounts.

Yeah, browser fingerprinting would also be good for this. I only use two; one on my computer and one on my phone. Any thing else should set off alarm bells and alert the user.
