How can we improve LowEndTalk?

It's working for me.
A system similar to what Bitcointalk has implemented would make this much more secure. Not perfect or impossible to fake, but scammers are much easier to spot. Here are the details for those who don't know about its trust system: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211858.0
We already had a similar system when LET was based on OSQA, though it also got somehow abused then.
Every offer should be added to a database that can filtered according to disk space, ram, bandwith, etc...maybe change/add the submit form so that companies can add it themselves. There is already http://list.lowendserv.net/ and http://lowendstock.com/ but it's outdated.
I'd like to see a new more modern and up to date design. Not sure exactly what, but something clean and perhaps bootstrap or similar?
Mobile site template has no search box -_-
Also "Better" search result
LET's search is useless anyway. Just use google to search LET.
Would be nice if I could change my avatar, it always throw a "Whoops! There was an error." dialog when trying to change. Do I need a certain amount of posts or something?
Use gravatar.
Vanilla doesn't properly detect my chrome running on tablet as mobile browser, so it will load desktop version instead of mobile version. I love chrome
Bring on some email and IP banning systems.
Too many users are popping up with different accounts.
Maybe limiting LET to 1 account per IP, or ban can do some good as well.
Also, please stop people popping up, creating a discussion and going awol. Maybe before opening a discussion having XY number of posts along with some thanks might be good as well.
Either remove the search or make it search.
Ban all companies's offers whom agents are not around.
I would like to see a modern design template that's responsive. The "full" site is kind of ugly and the mobile site too different (missing options, etc.).
This already exists in Vanilla, you can ban on IP and email address. The people who keep coming back do so under different emails/IPs every time.
Didn't know it, never used a forum software in the last 10-12 years actually...
Well then, further precautions are necessary indeed.. (:
Nothing you can do sadly. It's far too easy for people to get ahold of a fresh IP or a new gmail address.
Free popcorn to enjoy the drama?
I want Like button, also member reputation badges (new member, member, VIP etc.)
Maybe we should implement SMS verification as well :P
And what makes a comment useless?
Maybe it is useful to others but the OP.
Yeah! WHT style... NO.
Allow users to remove useless response... Eg: If member is asking for dedicated server and someone post reply about Amazon River then allow thread owner to remove this type of reply.
That also opens the road to allowing any "unwanted" comments that the post owner doesn't like. Such as negative reviews or criticism.
For what you're talking about, we have the "Flag" option.
introduce an award for user of the month. could either be good, for someone helping others or bad.
elsewhere we used to award someone the "cunt of the month" award, for doing something either really dumb or really offensive. maybe a poll, so the award is voted for by others. I could guess one person who might win this one this month
Did I read that right? So you make an offer post and decide what comments are allowed? Lol.
Indeed, that makes no sense.
Thanks but I have 2 already.
Good idea though. However I would perhaps suggest a split with a user and provider of the month award. Going out of their way to help people and the like.
