1) Beneath everyone's avatar, have the model, year, engine, and transmission type listed so that anyone trying to help has more information that they need to give advice.* I've seen a lot of times posts that say nothing but:* what year? what engine? is it a MTX or ATX?
I can't guarantee that every new member will do it, but it's certainly worth suggesting. I'll try to get something like this going.

2) I have two problems with the post count:* firstly, someone with a very high post count may be confused by noobs to have a very high level of experience with cars, this we all know is not necessarily true.* Secondly, it's the source of many problems with this site, which has very recently been proven.* I don't think the post count should be eliminated altogether, it has become a very integral part of MW, I do hawever think that it should only be visible in members profiles rather than by every post.
Post counts are worthless, true. But moving them to profiles wouldn't help, as I suspect the bandwidth increase caused by everyone constantly clicking and reclicking into other people's profiles would kill this site. (Just a theory, but you never know.)

3) Someone should be given Editor status and use that to go through old threads and delete the crap that's in them.* I don't mean do them all in one sitting, but over time clean out threads that had potential to be very useful, but alas ended poorly.[snapback]129251[/snapback]
That's sort of my job...but Lord, the time it takes to weed out all the crap in these forums is immense. It's one reason I now
dread coming back here rather than enjoying it.
I'm making a pledge to work on it, though. MEMBER COOPERATION WOULD HELP (hint hint), but since that's a pipe dream, I'll just do it myself.
