some of my ideas may be a little 'much later down the line'

1. it'd be nice if you could pin 1-2 runs to the top of your profile, similar to pinning/stickying threads on the forums. This'd stop the run you are most proud of being buried under barney's hide and seek 4:27's or whatever

2. the ability to report games would be very handy (for example, nonsensical categories, inactive mods, etc) - this can be done manually now of course, but it'd help move towards more automation, and having this as an actual feature would lead to more reports vs people saying 'screw it, I can't be bothered'

3. adding 'personal runs awaiting verification' with the info on when a run is submitted would be super handy. For example, I've been waiting 9 days for a run to be verified, and it's hit the point where I began doubting myself (until checking with an admin) whether I submitted it at all. I usually hate saying 'it should be easy' with no idea of the backend system, but I imagine it'd only be a case of adding a section to the page using a 'filter runs by logged in profile' rather than 'filter runs by games that the logged in profile is a moderator in'

4. filtering the frontpage would be amazing - a great way of achieving that would be to add a follower system. With this, you could follow series', runners, games, and filter unfollowed runs by position (ie: only show the top5 times in a game I dont follow as news - I'm sure if I get the 70th best time in vice city, the people not following the series, and even a lot who do, will not give a shit).

With this system, you could allow people to keep the default view, but give them an alert when a new time fitting their criteria is up, or allow them to hide other runs entirely, giving more reason to actually look back at the front page throughout the day, rather than casually browsing it when going to the site for another reason as I'm sure most currently do.

A further expansion of this would be to give extra attention to times beaten in games people are most interested in, ie: stickying them to the top of the frontpage feed/making them special there somehow.

Another thing that could be done is making a thread underneath the submitted run for people to post in if the run is a 'big deal' as determined by followership. This would build up the social aspect of the site a little more as people would actually view this section without specifically having to go to the forum, while also not becoming a barren feature since it wouldn't be given to the runs that are near-guaranteed to not get any posts

Brief comments:

1: Agree 2: Agree 3: It probably should be easy. I also tend to think we should look to move more towards "creating runs" and then submitting them to boards. I think this could eevntually allow users to track PBs differently than leaderboard times (e.g. you can have a time without a mod approving it). 4: Lightnat0r is working on some things heading in this direction.

I do not like hosting comment boards on other people's runs without sufficient user protection from harassment. I think I said in another thread it needs to be able to be opted out of and only available for users of the site's runs.

I like customization.

I'd also like to see a user be able to moderate the comments on his own runs, if that goes in.
