Hi Dien,
Thanks for maintaining Sowpub.
We're seeing a lot of drive through posts and 1-2 line junk posts from people looking for link backs.
These things really need to be added:
* No signature for people with less than 3 posts.
* No ability to add links for people with less than 5 posts.
I know vbulletin has plugins for such features. And would probably take less than 20 minutes to add them.
Also - on other forums I've been a member of - one thing really helps in making sure the quality of conversation goes up. That is: making sure people use their full name and a photo. No random sounding usernames. But I know a lot of folks here like to be anonymous - so thats your call if you want to do such a thing...
Also - the archives... I know you're busy - but maybe we could hire a freelancer from odesk.com and anyone who wants to - can pitch in in paying him?
(Dien, The only reason I'm making this public is to build some external peer pressure for you :p)
