Hi all, I am Mike, a crypto enthusiast and i  recently admitted the fact that one of the addictions of mine recently is this platform, this forum has always been a the priority of most crypto experts to get trending news and announcements amount the current happening in the crypto market, however, its so saddening that most of us are restricted to perform such specific tasks which makes it frustrating at times to interact here, I hereby come up with some suggestions to make the platform a better one and more user friendly to crypto folks, kindly check them out;

Rather than blocking newly created accounts through IP addresses tracking, I would suggest that a thorough KYC should be done for newly registered members (such as email and ID verification) as some of my friends are having issues posting on this forum due to IP address blacklisting. It fustrates the hell out of new comers and are being told to pay a certain amount of bitcoin to release their accounts,

Take for instance, i can easily open several accounts here using invalid emails but if there's an option of email verification, then there'll be a reduction to a considerable extent the level of abuse by some folks.
I'm sorry but direct blocking through IP shouldn't be the right measure to deal with issues like this.

2) This might seem like I'm getting ahead of myself but i think it would be nice if we have a bitcointalk forum application for better user experience as some users don't find this interphase pleasing to their eyes, I've had a complaint from some of my friends concerning this recently.

3) Bitcointalk should have a feature of notifying users of current happenings on their account via registered email.
This is no doubt will keep users abreast of new messages, replies, and other activities on their account without necessarily logging in to their account.


BITCOINTALK FORUM IS MY FAVOURITE CRYPTO WEBSITE AND I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF THE DEVELOPERS CAN MAKE SOME OF THESE IMPROVEMENT (IF NOT ALL) AS SUGGESTED.
Thanks and have a nice day ya"ll.
