Posted this on the Help Board, but it doesn't get much traffic over there. What are your thoughts on some of these ideas?

Help Board Thread

Twitter Embed Feature for Threads
- i've mentioned this one before. TD is the only site i know that hasn't implemented this, yet.

Tagging Other Users
- a feature that's heavily used on sites like 247. think of it as a "pager" that you can use to bring certain users into the thread
- if you know who the admins are, this could be more efficient than using the RA button.

Integrated Google Search Feature
- the old search feature sucked. integrating google would just make it better since a majority of us do that anyway. doing it from the site is just more efficient.
- remember, always search your subject with "tigerdroppings" inserted as well, i.e. "nick saban jimbo fisher recruiting tigerdroppings".

User Ranking Based on Upvote/Downvote Ratio
- this will provide the site with an outlook on who the most respected users are. it will also provide more banter between users. bragging will be fun when you're at the top of the list while also shitting on users at the bottom of the list.

Upvotes/Downvotes Distribution from Users Should Be from Previously Earned Upvotes/Downvotes
- the upvote/downvote feature has been around for 10 years it seems. users should have enough of a "stockpile" that they could "spend" some of their upvotes/downvotes on other peoples posts. in turn, those people could spend those upvotes/downvotes on the next persons post and so on.
- run out of upvotes/downvotes to hand out? start providing more/better content or bring your debit card and purchase more. 100up/100dwn for $10? purchased upvotes/downvotes will not count towards your upvote/downvotes ratio rating/ranking.
- this will also cause the users to be more selective when handing out upvotes/downvotes as it will essentially cause their ranking to go down.

Upvotes/Downvotes for a Thread's OP Should Be Displayed Before Opening
- want to ignore stupid posts? it'd be a lot easier if you knew the value of the thread before clicking.

Post History Should Have the Ability to be Filtered
- remember making that post on the _______ board a few weeks ago, but you've made 100 posts sense then? select a board from the board list and filter them down so you'll have less pages to sort through. perhaps dates could be implemented somehow as well.

Dark Mode
- just because.

Ability to Block Users
- if you don't like someone, you should be able to mute/block their posts from your view.

Out Alternate Accounts
- make it know of alternate accounts and the master account so that they can easily be blocked from future posts.

If we had a mute button I'd be happy.

Oh, and the search feature needs updating bigly

I agree with this. We do not need to become a special needs case. We went this long with a broken search feature so fix that and call it a day

TD has this feature. The admins choose not to let regular posters use it

I come here because I hate Twitter and Google.

And Reddit's cultist consensus-building upvote/downvote system is the worst thing in the world

there's really no point of the current upvote/downvote system. my suggestions simply make them more valuable.

I gave you an upvote for the thought put into your post

I would like to have the ability to block posters, believe it would make this site way more enjoyable.

If a poster is found to be an alt, I wish the forum admin would name who is the primary account holder that has used an alternate account

Don't forget the kill filter. Mark a poster as unreadable and you never see their posts or posts that reply to them again.
