I've thought about the following new forum features to be added as it would help users greatly.

PMs
===

Block/unblock PMs from specific users.

Different appearence for PMs sent from the admin or moderators to increase priorities for people.

Junk PM folder.

Automatic inappropriate languae filter for all PMs (a function which can be turned on and off) to make reading PMs safer for anyone and less annoying (inappropriate language is quite common these days)

Users
=====

Warning counts. (moderators will be able to add one when any moderator warns this user)

" Last online on " note on a user's profile.

" Most active on XXXX forum " note on a user's profile. Will say the user is most active (such as visits there regularly, posts there alot etc...

Forums
======

Small Icons for threads.

Report post (a small button) which reports the forum's section moderator and the moderators to look at the post if it violates the rules.

I hope these things will be looked at.

The Junk filter thing wouldn't be needed, besides that it would probably slow down the site and take a while to write. Noone gets that many PMs.

The warning counts isn't needed since a user only gets one warning before getting banned (see the Rules section of the site).

Last online on isn't that neccesary either.

Most active is also very unnecessary, it wouldjust get people worked up to post more etc.

The icons aren't too much of a big deal - in fact they look perfect the way they are. They match the size of the text exactly.

The report post is kind of a good idea, although it isnt too necessary, the moderators do a good job.

I say you should make PMs from moderators look different, and for the messages button to look different when you have a PM from a mod, mainly by making the messages button increase font size immensly so then you actualy notice it... <_<
