forum software

[Raz]

First of all, hello, it's been a while.
I see the porn sites are keeping the moderators busy, and the iranian first attack wave is over.

Right, basically, as part of a pretty big project we're planning some forum software, we've thought through most of the generic features like private messages, profiles, posting options, etc and as many options for the user within them as possible. But the more ideas we have, the better we can make this. I know there's people here who do a fuckload of forum surfing, so what sort of things would you like to see, featurewise or any idea really? Things like for example member ratings instead of post counts to ascend ranks or a different post formatting process (vb code stuff). Pretty much any idea that isn't retarded will be put into it with an optional button next to it.

Moderators, what tools would you really like to have at your disposal that would make your jobs easier? I've never been a moderator at anywhere with some heavy traffic so i'm not sure how it is for you guys. Anything that you've wished you could see sometimes when an inconvenience has pissed you off.
