I didn't have any run one with him but my god he was a dick.

Have to agree with everready and plato about the laughing smiley.
This one is too friendly and nice.
The PR one was cutting and was great for winding up people like Bimbo
Shut your fucking cakehole, dickhead.

Could we have little icons to react to a post rather than having to quote a post, just maybe a thumbs up, a laugh, a frown or whatever, kind of like they've got on basschat.co.uk for example.

+1 love this too. Not only is it funny when you have a wide enough selection, it also cuts down on a lot of visual chaff in the style of "haha" one-liner posts.

Disable private messaging, potential enough for shit fights on threads harder to control moderate with pm's added in ... perhaps just allow messaging to admins though???
Why? That is a user choice to enable in settings. Don't like it, turn it off.

Another +1 from me here. However I would say I do not want a reputation/power/karma type system in place. Those things get abused badly, especially with a "culture" like we have here :D, not that I'd change the culture that much, just it would become sickening if anyone actually had some sort of "power".
Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

I assume "foes" can't PM you anyway.
Was a suggestion so admins and mods potentially don't have to intervene in shit fights via the messaging system.

I think that’s a sound approach ASMO. It’s easy to overstretch and underdeliver.
I like the germ of the idea TNT? posted. There are a number of people here quite capable of writing an erudite or amusing article, and plenty who could help edit it. Just a thought to store away for if and when you look at this, but if the website won’t conveniently handle a front end a separate blog might work. Wordpress or similar. Again, there are lots of people here who could help build up traffic. I’m no genius at any of this but I’m happy to help with an article or three.
I’ll maybe copy this to “Suggestions “ for filing purposes.
