Two Feature Requests for Version 3.6

Hi Samuel,

I have a very satisfied user base since I made the upgrade to version 3.5, but there are two things which I would love to see in the next version.

Firstly, if I could fulfill just one request, this would be it - The ability to restrict users from posting a link on the forum until they have been a member for x days and/or made x number of posts.  A side effect of a successful web site is the proliferation of spammers, and the only thing spammers want to do is register and post their silly links.  I believe link posting restrictions will deter these people.  FYI - my moderators spend most of their time locking and deleting posts from spammers.

Lastly, it would be great to see who the ticket is assigned to on the "ticket.aspx" ticket list page.  That way I can quickly see who has the most outstanding tickets and I can easily select the ones assigned to me.

Thanks again Samuel,

Stephen

Thanks Stephen for your information. I will put both into the list for consideration

For the links, I will see if the editor supports customizing the button programmatically or should I just simply remove links based on the criteria in code.

Sam, I think the link catching would be best handled on the form validation.  That way you can run a regex on the submission and notify the user if it looks like a link was embedded.  If a link is caught then I would certainly not allow the post to go through.

BTW, you probably need to check both plain text links and hyper-links.
