Really loving peerboard, the more I use it the more appreciate it and look forward to its exciting upcomming features: here are a few of my thoughts after spending sometime with it.
-
Would really like to see the ability to pin a thread within a category (can we have option to rename catagory to section, teams, brands, etc?), right now the option is to pin it to the homepage above trending or to not pin it and let a thread get buried by other threads in that section. An example of this would be a important messaging like bug reports within feedback section or information for how to post in that section (new member threads) that is important but should not be pinned to the mainpage. I think its best to pin no more than 4 threads anyway above trending, allowing pins within catagories would really help communicate without risking a cluttered homepage.

I appreciate the inclusion of emojis for category topics - what would be really helpful is if we can upload custom icons similar to the 32x32 favicon that was implemented, that way way we can upload small team logos and things would really help personalize the board and user experience also can we have emojis and colored fonts within the post editor?

In addition to above would be great to have access to more moderation tools, right now users cannot be warned for violating policies - for spamming and other infractions the solution is easily solved by removing them but for someone trolling or being disruptive it would be great to see a warning or temporary ban feature. right now all we can do is lock a thread after writing a message in the comments.

I really look forward to more gamification features, would be amazing to see reputation scores (not based on post count), earned badges etc, this could also play into the above mentioned point where bad behavior could lead to a reduction in reputation score or badges. Some of the boards will be extensions of car and sport channels so if the comments are anything to go by, there is going to be heated discussions that need to be managed. I personally like open discussions and totally fine with occasional profanity and even mild trolling but having a full set of mod tools available may be enough to calm things without needing to use them!
