Currently, we need to manually grant employee user roles to all employees account. We are also looking at the possibility of starting private partner accounts, which would require manual role assignment for all users from the partner organization.

It would be very helpful to have some type of function that automatically assign roles to email domains based on a predefined set of rules.

Another possibility is to have some type of bulk user role management tool that uses a set of logic and variables (perhaps including domain name, IP blocks..etc)

Thanks

We have identified that allowing users to actively share their own content or that of other members could help grow the community and add value for our members.  Having seen the social bookmarking icons in the Ideas tool, how can we utilize this within all threads, or better yet, all posts? 

I envision this as either part of the signature, i.e., check box "Add Social Bookmarking Bar to my Signature," or embedded in the User sidebar of each post (again, maybe an opt-in feature).   Alternately, if not available on a post level, add the bar automatically to the title-bar area (on right?) of the first post in a thread. This perhaps would be a community-level auto-opt-in setting with an opt-out checkbox for the message composer.

This is about choices on how to share content - both at the community level and the thread/post level.  

I would really like to allow users to save their posting preferences for forum posts somewhere in their profile so if they want to consistently post with the same font, size, color, they don't have to update those selections with each post.

As we start to promote superusers and particularly official bloggers more heavily, I really like to find a way to provide a more customizable Member Profile page/template.

Scenario:

A promoted Super User or Official Blogger would have the privilege of having an additional layout of the profile page, where we can create a more stylised page. In our case we want to be able to provide a profile headshot, the offical bio, their certifications / qualifications, and some level of branding to denote that they are different and more exclusive to other users.

Again this is intended to be part of the Super User offering, but I could see some communities wanting this on all the time.

Thanks.

I'd like to see a warning feature added.  It could be another item in the Options dropdown along with Abuse.  Clicking on it would pop up a PM pre-addressed to the forum member with a link to the offending message.  The moderator could then add any appropriate comments and send it on its way.  Quick and easy semi-automated handling of situations.

It would really be nice if a log of those warnings (and temporary bans, for that matter) were kept for each member that could be accessed via a link or displayed directly on the member's profile so that we don't have to try to keep up with someone's record either in our archives or the private board.

i think there should be a better way to see how many kudos a user has recieved In both profile and forum posts.

So there can be better ways for everyone to see how many kudos each user has!

Maybe under post count in the forum post and uder statistics.
