Title: *OFFICIAL* SR Feature Request Page
Post by: Healthybar on December 02, 2011, 05:11 pm
I am trying to collect all feature requests into one thread. *** means more important. Here we go  :

1) Sort search results by ship to/from country
2) Make buyer account cost 1BTC (reduce scams)
***3) If a seller doesn't have a shipping option, SR should still let you buy. Currently it won't let you. No shipping option = FREE shipping
4) Search by title only (not description - some sellers keywords stuff their listings)
5) Advanced search
***6) Search results cannot currently be sorted in any way.
7) Turn off images, in profile setting
8 ) When clicking on categories "Ship To" is not displayed.
9) Delete all messages option
10) Discourage feedback after finalize early
11) Add a field on users profile for pgp key
12) Encourage sales outside USA (lowered fee?). Europe has very few opiates, it is unfair and wrong that the USA is eating all the flowers.
13) Show some minimal Buyer info on Seller Feedback like eBay
14) Top Sellers Page
15) SR auto log-off after inactivity
16) Personal blacklist feature (if a seller/buyer scams you, so you don't buy/sell from/to them again by mistake)
17) Wish list/Shortlist and save items for later options
18) SR Browser Based Chat

***Btw, Silk Road is already AWESOME I just wanna make it better!***

2) Make buyer account cost 1BTC (reduce scams)
This sounds like a good idea.
It's a small enough fee that it shouldn't put people off from using the site.
Perhaps people could make an account for free but pay the 1BTC before being able to buy anything? Or before being able to buy from sellers that opt into the program?

***3) If a seller doesn't have a shipping option, SR should still let you buy. Currently it won't let you. No shipping option = FREE shipping
I agree

***6) Search results cannot currently be sorted in any way.
This would be so helpful!!

11) Add a field on users profile for pgp key
Great idea!
Maybe make it collapsed by default so we wouldn't have to keep scrolling down to see their listings?

12) Encourage sales outside USA (lowered fee?). Europe has very few opiates, it is unfair and wrong that the USA is eating all the flowers.
You want them? Offer to pay more and I'm sure more sellers will ship to you.

16) Personal blacklist feature (if a seller/buyer scams you, so you don't buy/sell from/to them again by mistake)
Awesome idea!

17) Wish list/Shortlist and save items for later options
This would mean more bandwidth usage and more storage used. I don't think it's a good idea based on how overloaded the site already seems!
Just use bookmarks and folders!

18) SR Browser Based Chat
Good idea but considering the large userbase it would be crowded (plus see bandwidth concerns on Q#17)
Why not set up an IRC channel via freenode's hidden service?
