Sometimes we encounter suggestions not to improve Minecraft, but the Minecraft forums as well. This thread is to stop having a lot of threads for the forums, and combine into 1.

PvP server sub-section
Server search bar that looks up servers depending on what type it is.
Recommended topics screen, that shows recent topics that are recommended for the forum member.
Topic removal: Topics that haven't had any posts for a while can be removed. Topics that have a lot of positive reputation are eligible for survival until their view count does not increase for a week.
Automatic updates: Instead of having to manually update the screen, it does so automatically! Therefore, any new posts topics and replies will appear automatically. Can be toggled off and on. (Default is on.)
Have survival servers forums have a subsection for servers that are PvP(that isn't contained to just the arena meaning PvP is dominant), raid, and grief.

The -1 feature was removed because people could troll others by -1ing random posts. But I do agree that you should be able to remove a +1 you gave a post.
PvP Servers are the same as a normal Survival Server. I see no reason for a subsection. Then we'd need Bukkit, Hamachi, Prison, Drug, Non PvP, so on and so forth. Too much clutter.
Also, I want the ability to remove +1 from an already repped post. I want my quota D:
a subforum in objective servers for RP servers would make it much easier for roleplayers (like me) to find them without having to go through hundreds of prison servers to find a decent rp server. that or a subforum for prison servers as there are enough prison servers to have its own subforum in my opinion
People would down vote other's people's posts for no apparent reason other than disliking the person/etc..
It would create a generally negative, hating feeling throughout the site/community.
I do like the idea of being able to remove accidental rep, but for some reason IPB devs overlooked that feature. Maybe Curse's devs would add it, but it would take several months to get actually added.
Full support. I want to join a server that isn't [MLG][Nodus allowed][11 year old staff][Hardcore][PVP][Factions][Pay2win] 1337MLG420YoloSwagCraft and all that crap.

This, just made my day. You sir, get an upvote.
Anyways, I especially like the Emerald rank, considering I am biased towards a server with Emerald in the name. As for downvoting, if it were every to be implemented (Yes, I have read that it doesn't exist), it should be extremely limited, like 2-3 votes a day. And I think that it is pretty much agreed upon that people want a way to remove their votes.

I suppose it could have that effect, but as for trolling and flaming, I'm pretty sure that the barrier I suggested can stop it.

That's correct!
Look guys, I like all the feedback, but you can't run a suggestion mega-thread w/out new suggestions coming in from different people. I know the forums are good, but there has to be at least one complaint, nothing's that perfect.
Would you add my popular topics suggestion to this thread?
sure! along with a few other things.
Edit: Added this
and recommended topics,
along with their respective poll questions.
P.S. that's Darth Krayt isn't it?

Reputation is what it is. No need to give "bad marks", just don't give any marks. I mean, think of your profile. It has your "grand total" when it comes to reputation. Is it fair to lose rep from another thread you have, just because of a bad post elsewhere?
Also, don't forget about the "represent" bb code! This adds another nice way to show folks that support your thread, and it is tied into the current reputation system. I know it doesn't have the negative aspect, but it does help to create a visualization of who likes your thread.

I want to say the whole curse server thingy (great description) has exactly what you're looking for. DO NOT take my word for it, I am a super noob when it comes to that server thingy
Either way, A+ for initiative. Wonderful contributions are wonderful

The option was never available.
Really? I remember someone posting a link to an old post with a downvote.
Eh, edited my post then.

That post was so old it was made when we used an entirely different forum software, iirc, which is why it had a downvote
There are benefits.

Yes if it's towards the poster, but if you are talking about the one who gives -1, then it could be totally anonymous.
That's correct!

Last I head there are mumblings of giving the ranks an overhaul, remember though we are a busy bunch here. This is a great suggestion either way
