Bungie needs to have one of those "post counter" things that tells how
many posts you have made before and some type of rank system to go
with that to.
Yes, bungie needs to have one. The forums will collapse without one.
The post counter has been suggested, but not many people know that there was a post counter a while ago. However, it encouraged one word replies, spam, and pretty much anything else that would add to the post count. Achronos said he will never put one back.

There also needs to be a Search system. You would be able to find a
thread by its name or by the user that posted it, This would be
extremely useful so that we wouldn't have to search through pages to
find the thread we are looking for.
A search feature is being worked on. There is no need to remind Bungie, because they are already working on it.
They aren't going to rush the search feature. Achronos said, either there will be a good search bar, or none at all.

Another idea that isn't completely necesary is a Spell checker and
fixer. This would be helpful to a lot of users who are not good at
or do not want to take the time spelling things correctly. This would
not be automatic though, The user would be able to click a button to
spell check themselves.
It isn't necessary. It's why we have the handy "edit" button.

Even I'm not perfect.
There is no need to emphasize it.

I think that the -blam!- and language filter should be changed, but
not completely scrapped. The user would have a choice whether to turn
it on or off. This would be ideal for older users that don't want
everything that they say to be blocked, or should I say -blam!-ed.
I'm not really sure if this would work, but it's still an idea.
People will abuse the power. Besides, the words that are "blammed" are censored for a good reason.

Whoever creates a thread should be able to lock it themselves if they
feel things have gotten to off-topic. I'm not sure if this would
actualy help but it's an idea.
It won't work. Allowing people to only lock their own threads would be a very bugged feature.

There should also be more spaces avaliable in the forum's polls. A lot
of times, there's simply just not enough and can get very irritating
sometimes.
There is no need. If you want extra room, write "other." Besides, I can not express how much I hate it when people make polls with more than, say, 12 options. It's annoying, and it encourages more room for "spam" answers (i.e. instead of a normal "Yes" or "No," the extra room will allow users to say "Kind of," "This is the most l33t thread ever," etc.

There should be also a feedback system similar to Xbox Live. This
would help some of the spam and bad users when the mods are not there
to witness it.
This is a completely original idea no one in the past has ever thought of before.

What about some instant messenger buttons?
How about using the IRC?

And deathstrike, I don't think instant messenger icons should be at the top of his list. I think that a "Report to Mods" button should be though.
*Agrees.*
