I would like to take the time to put up some new features I think bungie.net could benefit from.
hopefully they would not negatively effect the populas from there normal doings.
1. A "members online" counter on each page.
It could be located to the right of the "new topic" button, or under the "more" link in the excess forums selections.
It would show how many B.net members are online at any given time, including Moderators, and or you friends and such. (more on friends later)
This web page takes care of the Moderator part: kd5shw's Awesome Moderator Stalker Page
As far as seeing how many other users from B.net are online. What is the purpose or goal of doing that? How does it change the community? I don't see where it could apply to me. It certainly won't change how I think, post, or create content. It would just be another statistic on the website taking up space for a potentially better feature.
2. The Friends list.
This list could work just like the Xbox 360 friends list, and would or could look similiar.
you could add B.net members to your friends list by clicking there name, and there could be an option for "add as friend" then you could see if they are online, and message them and such.
Hmm. I like this idea. If this were to occur maybe it would work as the Bookmark feature does. Each and every user would have a small little box next to or around their name. Someone could click on their name to add them or block them from their friends list.
However you're best chances for now is to use AIM, MSN, XFire, etc.
3. (warning this one is a bit extreme)
"Post Rating".
this could be a bar, and you slide a counter or something across, from 1 to 10, and it could also be colour coded so...black could be 1, and red could be 10.
-but you could only do this once, and the bar that everyone saw, would be a average of what everyone put.
example of use.
Now you guys all know of Gunshark 360's Fanfic that he wrote, (which was magnificient by the way). most people would probably give his post a good rating, like a 9 or 10. so a bar next to the post would reflect that.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and feel free to comment and flame.
(try not to do the latter.)

It doesn't sound like a bad idea. However I figure it would end up like most polls. People cast a vote, do some naughty things to their browser, and then re-vote. However I do have an idea based on yours.
What if there was an ability for members to flag a thread. There could be a button just like "submit" that said "Flag." What this would do would give them several options as to why they are flagging the thread: Spam, Lewdness, Off-Topic, etc.
Now, next to the topic there could be a bar. It could be seen by Moderators only if desired. It would allow them to see the situation in the thread. Example:
Green - Good Thread/No Problems
Yellow - Possible Problems
Orange - A few problems
Red - This thread needs heavy moderation
To move up in level here is a suggestion:
Green: 0
Yellow: 1 - 3
Orange: 4 - 6
Red: 7+
Of course my idea would be just as vulnerable to Blitz's about the post rating. Honestly it is just the same really. It would depend on some user reliability and maturity. I don't think the community would be ready for something like that.
