    Removing certain reactions in certain sections

    Reactions can be useful in a marketplace too. For example, say someone is asking $20 for a service that should cost $5, at least 10 people will probably react "funny" to it which is a common occurrence on here. The funny reactions would reaffirm that the service is incredibly overpriced and...

    Removing certain reactions in certain sections

    I think it's a good feature that should stay. Adds some life to the forums. Although, admittedly it annoys me when people disagree to some of my posts without explaining why.

    Trust Scan Feature

    Account hijacking would be 99% less of an issue if you enabled e-mail verification by default for all unrecognized logins: which is what many forums do and almost all big websites (Twitter, Instagram, Amazon, Google, eBay, etc.) And password cracking would be useless because even if they found...

    Trust Scan Feature

    I don't know why everyone's so security paranoid about it. The example trust scan image I showed was from the largest hacking forums in the world whose owner is known to be extremely strenuous with security and keeping his members safe. If you have nothing to hide like multiple accounts, then...

    Trust Scan Feature

    It was me. There could be a "base trust scan" for all users, and upgraded users would get an "extended trust scan" that shows more information such as last password change and whatnot, which could aid in finding scammers or recently hijacked accounts. I don't know how it would be used...

    Trust Scan Feature

    A trust scan feature would be useful. It could either be free for all members or be for upgraded members only as an extra perk (which is what some other forums do). Example things a trust scan could show: The "trust scan" button could appear at the bottom of each user's post or below their...

    custom Discord bot development (or any other programming service)

    Do you work as a software architect for Chief Solutions? That's like a $150k+ salary. Why are you selling Discord bots and cheap accounts?

    I want to learn webdev

    Python for sure. Start with the Flask framework.

    Remind users of 2FA importance.

    Lack of 2FA wouldn't be an issue if every time you logged in on an unknown IP address required additional verification (say email code), which could be enabled for all users by default. I recommended this about a year ago. I don't know if it's been added yet. But it doesn't seem like a...

    Where to learn coding / hacking?

    Learning HTML is irrelevant unless you want to be a web dev or parse webpages. Also, it's not a programming language.

    Where to learn coding / hacking?

    Yes, that's precisely what I'm saying. C is not a low-level language. That would be assembly or machine code. C is ubiquitous everywhere and is the Lingua Franca of programming. While other languages rise and fall, C will stay. It's irreplaceable and is still widely relevant to this day. Java...

    Where to learn coding / hacking?

    Ignore everyone above. Java is a terrible language for a beginner. Learn C if you're motivated and want to be a real programmer who understands "real" hacking, which also involves understanding assembly and other low-level OS stuff which pairs well with C.

    Discord self bot

    Used one for years to delete and store messages, never gotten banned. Don't think they care unless you use it to auto reply or spam people.

    Upgrade to XenForo 2.x because the current version is unmaintained

    Agreed, you should always update to the newest version of any software (as long as it's not completely bleeding edge) if you care about security. It's obsolete software that gets exploited the most, particularly software that no longer receives any security updates. I'm not a XenForo developer...
