Wishlist for B.net features?

I have been trying to think of a new topic for this forum... So I decided to settle on an old one. Anyways, I know there are many people here who aren't particularly happy with the state of the forums. If you are one of those people,. what do you think might change the forums for the better?

  • Somethings I have been thinking about for some time now: -Make the Report list things that we can ACTUALLY report on. Most of the report options give us a very vague directions on what they are for. Offensive Content should be clear enough, but I'd like to suggest that there be a couple additional options for other types of posting that has been happening quite often lately. ** ADVERTISING I don't know where that falls into the CoC / ToS anymore, but it seems as though these Vashkarian (whatever that means) posters need to be eliminated on site. (I'd add Youtube channel wannabes to this, but I doubt that would get much traction) Is this 'Illegal Activity or more a spam issue. There doesn't seem to be a spam buffer anymore seeing how the forums are clogged with reposts, repeats, and bumps, but I do greatly miss the B.old criteria for such things. **Change Disrespect/Threats, Harassment/Impersonation to be simply be Harassment. Disrespect is too subjective and 'they hurt my feelings-ish'. Threats are harassment. Impersonation means NOTHING the way the site is set up today. ANYBODY can make a new account with the same name and more than likely the same avatar as an original member. Essentially you enabled this. Making a report feature to do something about it is actually redundant. It's the site's fault for creating the ability for it to happen. Is posting anti homosexual and racial references a ban or warning material anymore? If so, nothing much seems to be done about it anymore for there are an overwhelming amount of them made hourly. I am personally rather sick of seeing it ALL THE TIME. (And no I'm not, thanks for asking) My main focus on this is that there are a lot of new people coming to the site these days. They see the way others are treating people and think it's ok to join in, as well as be as vulgar as they wish. I have encountered several new people who are very obnoxious and with no regard for just common decency or decorum (subjective, yes I know). Help make the site less vulgar, less hostile to begin with and you'll likely see decrease in intolerant behavior and new people thinking that this is a free for all community. If nothing is done, you're enabling and breeding a new batch of B.net that I don't think I will remain a part of. That's not a threat nor intended as one, but just a simple summation that I do not wish to be part of the growing toxicity of this site.
