note: this is originally @poof 's post (actually it's still hers since i'm not claiming it or anything) i'm just posting it again since she's leaving and will be asking the mods to delete her posts. we want the people to still be able to read this tho, so if they have any comments/suggestions they can do so, hence the repost.

to the mods, thank you for understanding!

#1 - Lower the abandoning fee.
For most of us, the 4500 EC fee is nothing. But imagine how it must be for new users that only have slightly more than their 'joining EC' of 5k. It takes feeding roughly 50 Creatures to abandon a single one. Not everyone has the time to feed or wishes to just let their Creature die.

#2 - Do something about adding others to PMs.
If I need to spell this out, you are unable to see what kinds of disasters could grow if it stays the way it is.
I propose a couple of changes along these lines:
- Someone can only be added by the person who starts the PM and only if they themselves click 'accept' or 'reject'.
- If someone wants to add another person, all other participants should agree by using the same method.
- If someone is added, they can only see the message sent after their being added. A PM is just that, a private message. Its fine if it becomes a multiple person conversation, but let what has been said stay private.

#3 - Add a 'delete wall page' option.
I wont go into too much detail as this one is pretty straight forward. Using my own wall as example: I would love to have a clean wall again someday, but I am so busy with others that I have over 800 pages. Just thinking of deleting all those comments holds me back from making the attempt lol.

#4 - Fix the cave attempt notification.
No idea if its a bug or done intentionally, but the cave notification does not in fact disappear when I click on it. It will keep going until I make that attempt, which is very annoying because not everyone has a desire to keep trying after their first ten attempts.

#5 - Show a Creature's species on the resurrection page.
Its simple, with the Leaf of Vaka now being a thing, most dead Creatures will be of those without a leaf, or those who were on hiatus. Believe me, when you return from hiatus you forget species names, or even if they were a CC Creature/not. And the archives are not exactly small anymore...

#6 - Add the option to add your entire cove in a tab with one click
Because some people like sorting their cove by color/favorites/species etc and frankly, its tedious to add them all one by one. Of course you would have to manually add each new Creature you get after that, but thats much easier than an entire cove...
Once again using myself as example: I would like a Kinump tab for @pupa. Thing is, I have 115 Creatures there, 100 of those are Kinumps, and Im still trading for more when I can.

#7 - Allow four accounts to attach to a single email
You are allowed to have four accounts; yet you need a new email for each one. Most people have a personal email, maybe also one for work and thats it. A new email will likely be forgotten after the creation and activation of a new side. (Just my opinion but: It also makes recovering your account, aka proving its yours if access is lost, a lot harder.)

#8 - Add the option to 'delete' a Creature from your resurrection list.
Because honestly, I know I will never resurrect those dead commons even if they become extinct as its not hard to trade for one right after such a thing happens.

And lastly, one I thought of while writing this....

#9 - Give us a preview option for new topics and PMs.
Because doing it right in one go is better than editing your mistakes after.
Especially because you cant even edit PM replies, just forum posts.
