With NPDs decision, more traffic... and that means a few more needed things

[kn]

More trolls, more idiots, more multiple accounts, more traffic and so on.  Here are a few things I think need to be done (since the analysis stuff has come so far)

Implement email verification for new users (and existing!).  That will elimiate a lot of the crap that goes on.

The search feature needs to be "enhanced".  I have a hard time finding anything... search by keywords with "and/or" functionality as well as search a specific board, search by user name, date range, etc.  That will cut down on duplicate threads.

Disable the search function for people that aren't registered users.

Limit the amount of "analysis" that can be done if they aren't registered.

Put in a "multiple posts in X seconds" -- i.e. no more than 1 per minute to avoid spamming

Give mods (if they don't already have it) the ability to both ban a user AND delete a post and/or complete thread rather than just editing it.

Give users ability to edit their own thread AND the title of their own post.

 

Feel free to add more, but with traffic most certainly on the rise, these things will help keep the site orderly.
