    Make a server verify clone and email @Neoon for yabs.

    I speak fluent sarcasm and broken logic. | I would agree with you, but thæn we’d both be wrong.

    Make search in category (not global) or search in single thread or search in messages by single user.

    Global search results in too much nonsense for such a large forum. When I try to find something specific, it's impossible...

    Make search function which supports regex + date from & to. Also don't truncate the response

    A short page somewhere that explains what "winner", "platinum", "popular" etc. actually represent (I.e. an explanation of the ruleset behind the scenes that defines these).

    Could just be included on the about page!

    I started adding a little bit of the tag stuff to the about page (at least for now if Ant wants to do something different)

    But I need to fill in the blanks/make corrections as I'm not 100% sure myself :sweat_smile:

    And make it possible to ignore/block specific users.
    (Or was that already added as a feature? I think there was some discussion at least ...🤔 I don't see the option ...)

    @flips said: ignore/block specific users

    You can do that via the user's profile.

    Oh, in Dark Theme on mobile, I have to click large "Edit Profile" button to get/see that option :)

    Request to hide new user threads/possibly the new providers threads

    Edit: or at least have it be in its own sub-category that's not on the homepage if that setting is enabled

    I am torn with the new member idea. On one hand, I love that it forces a public introduction and that it takes the burden off mods to approve users.

    On the other hand, most if not all of the community banned users I would have probably approved if there was no double accounts or sketchy stuff.

    The real question is why are people getting down voted?

    For example this thread: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/11142/new-member-ilove#latest

    To me it seems like they were down voted simply because English isn't a strong point of theirs to articulate proper answers.

    Is that the qualifying factor for being a member of LES?

    Then we have comments like the one by @somik

    I have adjusted my vote 5 times today (downvote/upvote) to keep the slider at or near zero :lol:

    Are votes a true factor if they are just thrown either way willy nilly like that?

    I honestly don't have a better recommendation but I look forward to the discussion thread so I can see people's thoughts.

    I was trying to prove a point. That being the member votes are not a reliable way to approve new members.

    And I totally agree with you on the fact that members are being banned willy nilly...

    Yep, I'm guessing there's a lot of others who aren't vocal downvoting/up voting for x y reason too. But I do really like the framework of the idea

    It's hard to tell if the user is a real person, especially when they don't respond. I get wanting to avoid spammers and AI, but if we're also trying to grow the community, banning the majority of new users isn't going in the right direction. I don't have a silver bullet, just sharing my thoughts.
