I don't actually know if it's possible to let people delete just their own uploads or only to delete any upload. Either way, I don't think it's much of a hardship to let a moderator know when you want something removed?
It isn't to me either, I'm just suggesting this so we can handle stuff like this ourselves whilst the moderators can concentrate on more important stuff. Though now that I think about it more, it's not as good of an idea than what I first thought. Ultimately it's up to the admins, but I do see where you and Ross are coming from.

Probably not going to be made, but can we (or maybe only me, I mean this as I think no one else wants it, not that I'm excluding everyone) get a alert when a mod merges posts?
I'm not sure if there is something against this already or any other reason (I don't think there are any already)

Unfortunately there is no option to send an alert when merging a post, and sending a PM every time a mod merges a post seems a little unnecessary, so for now, I'm afraid not. If it comes under higher demand in the future, we will certainly look into it again.

Can i request a repaint request section?
This is something that we deliberately avoid, as we have found that when requests threads are opened people tend to abuse them by either spamming the thread with requests, or by making invalid requests in the first place.

Additionally, it is very rarely that any mod developer will actually take requests due to limited time, and them only taking on projects that they'd actually like to do themselves.

Ah okay thanks for clearing that up ;)

I dunno if i'm missing anything here, but it is possible to add a search feature in the Downloads Centre? I think it'd be easy that way trying to find repaints etc, or content by a particular author, etc

This is going off the back of my idea of bundling dependencies into collections, as is widely done in the SC4 community. Examples include BSC's (SC4's UKDT) props packs: BSC - SimCity 4 Encyclopaedia

The idea I have is to double this up with another SC4 thing, a collection DVD: STEX Collections on DVD - Simtropolis

They are sold on Simtropolis, containing the 'must have' packs and individual assets. FF could probably copy this idea (although without the individual assets), the idea being that they're something tangible people can get whilst supporting the forum. Bonus content and 'supporter' member status could probably be included, as well.

Additional benefits could include easier installation, greater brand loyalty, something to peddle at Showbus, etc.
 
There are a few issues/things we need to work out:
  • Where would we grab the discs themselves from? I could imagine this being quite costly.
  • How would the discs be dispatched? It would need to be one sole person who is available daily to deal with any incoming orders.
  • How would be take payments and manage orders? XenForo itself provides limited functionality when it comes to incoming payments.

Not sure if this has been discussed/suggested, but, can I suggest something like a shoutbox? like a place where everyone can just talk about general things or have quick enqiury and a place to quickly '@' someone instead of doing it via the status update :)

This is something we've never really thought about as most people already use Discord or Slack, or something similar. I'd be interested to see how many people would be interested in a shoutbox though.
