Multiple threads,tags,navigation,rules,post reason...(forum ideas)
1) More than 1 thread that servers the same purpose:

I got to thinking some boards don't allow 2 or more threads to be open at the same time sooo.... why not have this... for the boards that don't allow it, just have this, so when you have thread 1 open, and you open thread 2, thread 1 will close automatically so no more getting infracted for having more than one thread open at a time that serves the same purpose.

2) Tags:

Most boards require a tag right? So instead of just letting people make the foolish mistake of forgetting to add the tag, why not just have a mandatory tab that has a list of all the tags, and it won't let you open the thread without choosing one, so this will insure that people won't forget to add a tag. no more getting infracted for not having a tag.

3) Reasons for post:

So I myself am a talker, I just am, I like to say my mind, and what i am thinking, so i usually get infracted for "useless posts" because i don't really think about what i'm posting so here is the idea...
You have to choose why you are posting your "response" so and it would be a tab at the bottom of the screen, and the forum wont let you post your reply if you don't choose. For instance "question" "chat" "debate" "rant" etc. it would make the user have to choose their reason for the post, so when they get infracted for their nonsense... they acknowledged what they were posting by choosing the reason.

4) Favorites/quick jump:

I know its already a thing but id like to see it more well put together so what this is for each board there should be a little checkbox so you can add it to you list of sorts for easy surfing of the forums so instead of clicking here and there through a huge mass amounts of pages to find your thread or board you are looking for you can just go to a new tab at the top of the screen and choose it and you will be taken to it.

5) Must read tut/instruction:

so this would mainly be for forum noobs who are brand new to the tb forums...

You know how all the rules are spread out across all the boards and they aren't always popping out at you?...

So my idea is this when you first hop on the forums and log in you are introduced with a pop up/notification it basically would give you a step by step tutorial on how to navigate the forums, and you would have to read the general rules before you can go off and browse the forums, and everytime you go to a new board or subforum if there are rules that are specific to that board of subforum you are addressed with them, and to make the notification go away you have to click a checkbox that says you understand the rules and promise not to break them, and if you do so you understand you will be punished accordingly.

All in all these are my ideas they are mainly just to help improve the forum experience and to help out the moderators and make their job easier (you guys are already perfect *smiley wink*)
