The report abuse button would allow a user to only report another user once... therefore, if we have a troublemaker in our midst, we can each flag him/her (and they would accumulate quite a number of flags), but if the troublemaker tried to turn the tables in revenge, all they would be able to inflict on another user would be his/her one flag (as no other users would flag this innocent user). complicated maybe on the programming side, but aol messenger has such a feature.

There are lots of things that can be easily added to phpbb(which this forum is made of). They are relatively easy to add and doesn't really take much time. There's even a website devoted to code that's already made that just has to be copied into the site.

I just need to go on record and say i love the simplicity look of the forum posting right now... i personally like that you cant alter the size of the text, add your own long signatures, etc. post pics.... other forums get confusing and distracting to the eye when i try to follow the thread, maybe its just me, but this format looks so clean to me... which is why i keep coming back here (well that, and the good advice).

Another idea: how about having the planted forum separate from the freshwater forum, or as a subforum...

Signatures and user avatars, as well as info such as last login, and maybe a 'WHO's ONLINE" section

"whos online" is an awsome idea

I think it's important not to let the forum get to flashy I think the fact that its not all bells and whistles makes it seem more professional and informative. I think first order of business would be just sprucing up what they have now and making it work a little smoother than slowly and gradually move new and more innovative things. I hope that makes sense.

It sounds like everyone would like to see in this forum, are the same things you can do in almost all other forums on the net.
I would like to see an abuse button to report abuse of the forum or those who use it. I would skip the chat room, I see no need for then, but that is just my opinion. I would like to see who else is on line and maybe have moderators, but other than that this is a pretty good forum with some knowledgeable members who, with the exception of 1 or 2 bad apples are kind and respectful.

Not only an 'abuse' button, but maybe the election of some 'mods' (moderators) to monitor discussion, and give people like FreshWaterPleco the boot... haha

VOTE SaltwaterPimp for PREZ... LOL
