Forum Software Issues and Suggestions

Enable 'ignore threads' please, I think this would help the forum become more popular.
I already believe in nuclear bombs, the moon landing, German lunacy and a spherical (although possibly hollow) Earth, don't need to be updated on them.
I can't add an avatar.
It's working. Likely blocked by your privacy extensions.
In Anglin's forum, newbies are only allowed to post in the newbie barn. When a certain threshold of likes is reached, they are freed into the main forum. I like the idea and recommend doing this on CIK as well. This would make it much harder for sock puppets and new trolls and feds to interfere in serious discussions.
Also, the ability to ignore entire threads should be considered, which would make it easier for people to not participate in controversial threads and not repeatedly post their opinion that the topic discussed is garbage or something.
Agree with the newbie barn idea.
You can already ignore threads here, look at the top of the page of the thread:
Something changed where I don't see twitter links. It's just blank. Did twitter do something?
Would it be possible to have a transparent moderation log? Does the forum software support such a feature?
Occasionally I see the moderators mention when they ban someone (or when they give "naughty points") and for what reason but I personally think it would be neat to have all of the information in one place and easily searchable.
This is what I have in mind: https://lobste.rs/moderations
A few words about the rationale (from lobsters):
"While the individual actions of a moderator may cause debate, there should be no question about if an action happened or who is responsible. If users are disruptive enough to warrant banning, they will be banned absolutely, given notice of their banning, and their disabled user profile will indicate which moderator banned them and why. There will be no shadow banning or other secret moderation actions."

Such a mod log already exists, and I have no idea if it can be made public. But even if we could make it public I think it a bad idea; having people's "sins" be on public display can only increase hostility between members and make people less forgiving towards each other.
Mods need it to make sure no one is overly punished, but members "should keep no records of past wrongs." - Apostle Paul on perfect love.
I can't see something that does this...
The site now asks me whether or not I am sure I want to post a reaction. I really don't like that. It reminds me of this weird judeo-censorious practice, where twitter warns me whenever I use a word that might be interpreted as being against a protected group.
If I revise my reaction, I'll take it back. I don't want to be talked to like a baby.

Don't see that on my end. What do you mean?
It just happened in the new protestantism thread. I test-liked another comment and it didn't happen. Maybe it was a glitch, in which case I apologize for karening out and shaniquaing the place up.
Sometimes it helps to reload the page if you're experiencing issues. Sometimes I need to reload the page several times to get it working properly.
