    Maybe give select people in each forum something like "junior moderator" powers. They'd be able to sticky/unsticky posts that only they create, and maybe a few other light powers as well.

    It kind of ties in with Beech's idea. If someone has TV info, road trip info, starts a pregame thread, etc.. they should be able to sticky that post without waiting for a moderator to come around.

    They wouldn't be able to delete or edit posts, but at the same time, they wouldn't need to wait for a mod to sticky or edit a relevant thread which they created.

    Maybe sticky/unsticky would be the only "power" that they would get, but I do think it's a good idea to give certain forum members more control over threads they start.

    While this sounds cool, we would end up with something like 10 stickies in many forums, and that is waaay OTT.

    How about having a notice sent when a response is posted in a social group that you belong too?
    Same fashion as it is for any threads you post in.

    bigsoccer.com/podcasts or podcasts.bigsoccer.com, whichever one would work better.

    Anyway, you set it up so that bigsoccer could host podcasts on their servers (maybe some sort of premium function??) that whoever had a podcast could upload and share with the BS community.

    I'm sure that many forums already have discussions focusing on podcasts, both by forum regulars and other people, so why not give the actual podcasts space on the site?

    Ok, here's another thought.

    When I click the scales on my post, I can see the rep comments and the various tiles. Why can't I see the name of the repper as well?

    There should be a "thinning out" or a cull, if you like, of Mexican posters, there are too many of them and their posting "style" is boring, they should be banned from the most boring up, starting with the one's that just post "jajajajajajajajajajajajaj", nobody knows what that means anyway, next you should ban the one's that just post pictures, the one's that say "fail", "epic fail" "pwned" etc, Mexican posters should be reduced to at most 50% of their present number.

    Here's another idea, but not really big on my list.

    It seems like a lot of threads in this forum are all either "so-and-so neg repped me" or "please put the rep squares back in the posts" or "please put the post count back." Maybe we need catch-all threads for these posts, where it would be something like "Please put all posts relating to _________ here." Posts relating to these matters elsewhere in this forum would be locked.

    How easy would it be to put the list of subscribed forums in the User CP? Right now, once you go into that section, it doesn't seem as easy to get out as it should be...

    Alright, if it's not going to be restored, then what was the rationale for taking it out in the first place? Server load? Coding problems? Just didn't like the color?

    Interesting comments coming from someone with a gaggle of green squares.

    There does seem to be a number of people who apparently can't handle the negative rep. If the elimination of negative rep can't be done, I do like the "private comments" idea.

    But without neg rep, what would we do with the bot? :D

    I completely agree with the first point. I didn't think there was any serious interest in publicizing green nipples.

    Second point is what I was going to say when I saw this thread title.
