I'm holding FQuist hostage. If you do not heed my demands, he gets the big troutslap. Got it? Good. I know many of these aren't necessarily related to J2O v2 and are just general ideas. These all may sound stupid, but please don't flame me. These aren't "I'm-100%-sure-it-will-work" ideas, more like "might-be-interesting-to-be-in-the-future" ideas.

1. Word wrap for comments. Yes, Nebula, you know what I'm talking about. ;P
2. Add a "recent downloads" bar to replace "recent articles." Heck, have both.
3. Make the Hail Trafton and Torture Trafton sections. The second one will be loved. You can delete the first as quickly as possible.
4. Have more updated news that doesn't show on page one. Have a "news patrol" or similar to go out and get news, but don't show it on the main page until it is verified to be true and significant.
5. Incorporate pie and marmalade in some way.
6. NO BANNER ADS. NO MATTER WHAT.
7. Let users add ideas more often. Add features as you go online, so we don't have to wait a year and a half for new features.
8. Add review moderators. I know this sounds stupid, but the truth is that a lot of personal attacking and swearing goes unnoticed on the J2O review section. There are many people who would make great and honest review moderators.
9. Don't let people with the same name, heck the same IP, review a level with a rating.
10. Have more clear reviewing rules. The current review rules aren't, well, always clear to understand. And they're hard to find, too.
11. Make it so if you select "tileset" or "other," etc. that you don't have to select a used tileset.
12. Add more often-used tilesets to the tileset used list. Good examples would be Cheq 3, Tavern, Cool Day, etc.
13. Don't allow uploads of pets on the pictures setting unless their owners are also in the pictures.
14. Have J2O automatically rate levels that I make 10.
15. Have a mail or private message automatically sent to an administrator if a review is made of a level that is significantly below or above the current average of the level. This is especially nice because I've noticed some will wait until a level falls off the first few pages (so nobody will be reviewing it unless they find it on random level) and then post an usually unfair score.
16. Make it as customizable as it can get. I love to tweak options for some reason and get it as custom as I can. Many do.
17. Add content that would slow down index loading pages as options so that cable users can see them on their main page while 28.8K Jazzers don't have to suffer through a seemingly endless page load.
18. Correct the error that makes a level rating still appear as the average even after someone has changed the rating to N/A.
19. Add an option for email notification of when a level you've made is reviewed.
20. Add a filter to the reviews section, darnsporkit.
21. Let Derby do everything for you.
22. Make it so it's easier to make a custom theme with every little thing your custom color.
23. There is no 23, but I like the number 23, so I put this here anyway.

NOW DO YOUR JOB AND TEAR MY IDEAS TO BITS! ;P

...I might even keep FQuist for LAB EXPERIMENTS. >;)
