I had an addon developed in the past which auto-tagged threads based upon their occurrence in the thread in combination with weighting (i.e. occurrence in title has high weight, occurrence of X times in the best answer has high weight, occurrence of more than X times in the thread has moderate...

IME you need members who are somewhat OCD and like to organize things. Those members are suited to tag content and even cleanup tags. I've had functionality developed some time ago which allows specific member groups to moderate & prune tags from the front end. You can find it in @Xon 's...

I had something like that developed for vb. Tags would be added if these would meet complex conditions. I do wonder about something: as soon as I switched from vbulletin (vbSEO + my own optimizations) to xenforo, the SEO value of tags went from amazing to worthless. I was getting in a 800k...

If you want people to be consistent with tags, then you will need to create articles and guides on what is expected from community members. i.e. how they should tag what. And how they should not. Allow ranking members to tag anything and reward them for it.

Some developments on this front: https://www.wsj.com/articles/france-threatens-big-fines-for-social-media-with-hate-speech-law-11589398472 https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/news/internet-giants-could-be-fined-up-to-12-million-under-austrian-hate-speech-law/ Hopefully the threshold...

Thats a possibility. I don't think its similar to a Facebook poke though. A poke seems meaningless to me. A message that you are being missed has more meaning than that.

Same here.

You can allow your mods to approve valid email domains. All they need to do is view the search query to see if the domain is fake/temp or not. Then approve the domain or blacklist it. Once you get some domains into your system you will see the number of moderated accounts greatly reduced. I only...

I don't think there is any form of dishonesty at play. I don't think XF really grasps the scope of the problem. The XF software is great. And there are also awesome addons, developers and other great people here. Yet, people do flee to other platforms. They flee from the massive headache and...

Out of the box, its pretty much the same as SMF, but if you add the signup abuse addon then its a world of difference. https://xenforo.com/community/resources/signup-abuse-detection-and-blocking.6812/

In my opinion XF needs an appstore to grow and attract more developers. Being able to buy and install an addon right from admincp is pure gold. Addon sales would go up if addons are advertised in admincp. This is how WordPress grew. I really enjoy how This discussion might interest you...

We use @NixFifty 's Ticket system to open a ticket for the member, if there is need for communication about the issue. I hope that @NixFifty will consider a 'open ticket for reporter' function in the report system, because that would be very useful. (as this request demonstrates)

This part is more or less true: Trololol: There have been more than a few events which gave me the impression that they read the XF suggestion forums even more than the XF team themselves. Their past releases seems to be timed to drop a bombshell feature(s) just after the XF HYS. And this may...

That's a nice collection of addons. I especially like how the hints and tips addon results in new members becoming active members instead of leaving. To illustrate what I mean, here's my review of it:

XF config or nginx config?
