Feature Requests [OLD]

An auto double-post merger would be cool, similar to GBAtemp. It could help prevent clutter and spam, should the site be hit with some someday. Also, a deleted post box could be useful for solving confusion when seeing threads that have deleted posts. Reasons could also be added along side the deleted post. For example: User 1: Ew SBS is gross User 2: No u User 3: ^He right Becomes: User 1: Ew SBS is gross User 2: [removed by Yttria, reason: dead memes are not allowed on my Christian Minecraft server] User 3: ^He right Instead of the deleted post just disappearing. The deleted post box could also have some special formatting or whatever so it doesn't blend in with other posts, such as a smaller box.

I'm fairly sure thus must've been mentioned 100 times before, but can we get an option to turn off "edited" in the Activity feed??! Oh, yes it has. Sorry.

I'm on the fence, as far as "wait for the new site" goes. Mostly because I've been in that exact same situation myself. When you start writing a site like this, it's a little thing. A text box here, registration database there, uploads and avatars, and it all comes together nicely, bit by bit. Then you think "I should fix that up. I've learned a lot in recent years, I can do it better, now." And you try. You make a start, and you spend a month working on it... It's still just a single text box, and you have such a long way to go before reaching anything like what it should be, what it already is, and that's before those hundreds of nips and tucks that you've long since forgotten about. It's really demotivating to sit there, look at everything you've accomplished, and realise.. .. it was already there! In your mind, you frequently feel like the time was wasted. Why reinvent the wheel? It took me years, almost a decade, before I properly attempted my own forum-rewrite, and boy was it hard! It wasn't until one really awkward bug started to frequently show up that I felt it was time to do it. .. but I probably shouldn't have left it that long. I really do wish Random all the best in doing that, but I know just how hard of a climb it can be.
