Communities: General
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/874305.html - Fix community renaming. Not sure if this should go in Comms or out to a Renaming wishlist; I know there's been call to simplify several things about renaming (such as making it possible to create a brand new journal with a purged username directly), but not sure if it's big enough to get its own Wishlist. In any case, this suggestion received enthusiastic support.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/881015.html -- enable anonymous posting in communities. Some types of comms have a particular need/wish for this, others very much do not want it as it has high abuse potential. One counter-suggestion to just have people create sockpuppets to preserve their anonymity was rejected as leading to namesquatting; even if accounts are deleted, people still have to pay for renames. Other counter-suggestion, to enable masking of a poster's identity, while still associating the post with an account (viewable by the community mods) was regarded more favorably.

- Posting template for paid comms (suggested by azurelunatic): Like the suggestions template, but available to paid comms to force everyone but someone with maintainer status to go through a template, and to be able to create a template. People could still abuse it, of course, but the maintainers could make very clear where everything was supposed to go. Only on posting not on edit (meant to be helpful, and not enforce the rule)
- On the other hand, templates could also be optional. There are different kinds of templates a community might want--intro template, fiction post template, etc, and they might only want to facilitate using them to make it easy, not force every post to use them --Foxfirefey 06:25, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Communities: Community Maintenance/Moderation
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/883325.html -- Let community maintainers create a boilerplate message unique to their community that will display when someone tries to join their community.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/881865.html -- Expand number of comments viewable in 'Latest Received' area to ease handling of comments in very active communities. Specific number given was 500, broken down in pages of 50.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/376934.html -- Screen entry until fixed by original poster.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/891068.html - "Pending Membership Requests" modification request: be able to bulk approve, reject, and reject+ban from the same page with one click.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/892471.html - Add "notes" section for maints/mods. Could be achieved several ways - additional fields on /manage/banusers.bml (for each displayed user, show: user, date/time of banning; in comms, show who did banning and allow notes field for); allow private posts to comm which would only be visible to maints/mods?
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/894442.html - controversial; "display proof of age 18+ on profile." Potentially useful for community moderation, but otherwise a potential invasion of privacy; other (legal?) issues?
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/871787.html - Moderation Queue Log. Lists things like submission time, submitted by, IP address, unmoderated, title + some content, status, action taken by who? Enthusiastic support by large community maintainers.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/700658.html - related to previous suggestion; deletion notification for maintainers is planned, in the forms of "notify me when anyone deletes a post from this comm" and "notify me when anyone deletes a comment from this post."
