I have a few suggestions for ForumKorner! So without further a due, here they are!
1. Reported Posts
I am beginning to feel irritated every time I attempt to report a post, as I constantly receive an error stating the post has already been reported by someone. I would like to suggest that once a post has been reported, the "Report" button disappears, so to ease my frustration. If not, perhaps before one starts typing in the reason for the report, the pop-up will tell you that the post has already been reported.
2. Polls
It appears to me that you are unable to edit polls once your thread has been posted. I would like to suggest the ability to edit poll options after the thread has been posted. Now I do not believe you should be able to change the names of already current options, as that would open up possibilities for fraudulent polls, however perhaps we gain the ability to delete and add poll options.
3. New Upgrade Feature
I would like to propose the idea of "junking" posts once a user has upgraded to "Power", or "Power+", the same way as thread "junking" works. These would all go to a hidden sub-forum, as all junked threads already do. I feel this would allow users to keep all of their posts meaningful, and take off work from the staff here. This feature would likely look like this:
4. The Giveaway Section
I believe that users who host giveaways deserve to earn more koins for giveaways, so I am proposing awarding every thread posted in the "giveaway" section to earn the user 0.03 / 0.04 koins, instead of 0.02. This may encourage more giveaways!
5. Reputation
I have seen far too many users participating in "rep4rep", making the reputation system meaningless. I believe that if a user is caught participating in "rep4rep", that all positive reputation should be deleted. Furthermore, the user should lose their ability to give reputation for a specific time period. I would suggest one month. I understand that when upgrading to Power you supposedly have the ability to view given reputation, however this is a lie. I would also suggest that viewing given reputation be implemented. Finally, I would like to suggest that there be made a limit of how many times a user is permitted to give reputation in one day, reducing the chances of "rep4rep". These would make reputation (in my opinion) much more meaningful.
6. New Profile Information
I feel that the available information on user's profiles need a renovation. I would like to suggest that popular social networks / messaging systems / websites be added. This list includes:
7. Fixing Koins
I believe that there are several methods in which we could "fix" the koins economy. By "fix", I mean increase the value of this forum currency. These methods are the following:
8. Change / Remove the "testing" section
The testing section is currently located under "initiations and farewells", and can be located here. Seeing as how simply clicking "preview post" you can see what the "myCode" will look like, the graphics, thread design etc, I feel this section should be removed. If not, I believe this section should not build onto post count, nor appear publicly to other users; only to the owner of the thread.
This thread will be updated with new suggestions once I think of them! :smile:
Thanks in advance to any replies!

I feel that the available information on user's profiles need a renovation. I would like to suggest that popular social networks / messaging systems / websites be added. This list includes:
- Jabber [XMPP]
- KIK
- Twitch.tv
- Google Talk
- iMessage
- imgur
- Image Korner
7. Fixing Koins
I believe that there are several methods in which we could "fix" the koins economy. By "fix", I mean increase the value of this forum currency. These methods are the following:
- Allow transfer fees to be paid using koins
- When purchasing an upgrade using koins, the koins leave the economy
- The koin lottery begins at 0 koins, with 0 tickets purchased (currently starts at 10 koins
- Any promoted users have the koin system disabled on their account
