Ability to invite specific users to answer a question
As opposed to a PM feature, keep my question public but let me invite specific members of the community to come and answer it. This way I can ask specific people questions, but everyone still benefits from the question and answer.

add custom inventory rules to K1000 inventory using ITNinja software library
First, add a section to the ITNinja software library to add custom inventory rules needed for software like dropbox, Chrome and others that do not have an entry in the Uninstall registry key to inventory.
Then, give a K1000 the ability to add this through the old AppDeploy add-in once it's changed to ITNinja.

Allow voting on comments
Upvoting an answer is great, but often times there are comments further down in the thread that should be acknowledged. I'd like to see a way to vote on comments in threads with something either similar to the upvoting system for answers or by just being able to give them a star or something similar.
17 votesI like the idea of a “this helped me” counter for comments. Voting doesn’t work so good here because votes change the display order so the highest voted are on top and comments need to remain a linear fix-ordered list.
The concern here is that there are several ways to vote, rank and rate things already and adding another could increase the complexity of the site overall. That said, doing something here is a good idea so we will do more research to determine what would work best.

Black belt reward confirmation
When a person reaches Black belt, he should be informed about his successful contribution and availability of the award through a mail. As we are unsure about the reward delivery. Is the Black belt award program still on?

The ability to save the Blog post as Draft should be implemented
Actually when you are writing a blog post that can be lengthy and with images as well the only option to save it is the save button that publishes it immediately.
Should be nice to have a way to save it as ''draft'' and only when you are satisfied with the layout and the content you really publish it.12 votesThis is a pretty good idea. Until we get around to implementing such a feature, you can actually “delete” it (we don’t really delete, just hide). Once you are happy with it you can “Show” it again. Deleted/Hidden content is only viewable by the author and admins, others just see a message that the content is hidden with a reason when available.

Display the most read Software Package deploys per week.
Appdeploy used to have a post on it's homepage to display the most frequently used and/or most popular packaging tips per week or month.
This was very helpful and quick way of stumbling upon software packages that you have already deployed that you may not have know that they had been updated and require repackaging and redeployment.
It is aslo a great way to learn new skills when you see a solution to a difficult software package deployment.
9 votesWe’ve got popular software listed now on the research page. Like AppDeploy it is based on all time activity and not just a week or a month. We’ll see if that is something we can work in down the road (as such I’ll keep this request in an Under Review state).

Award for reaching Grandmaster
While there's an awesome reward for reaching Black Belt, there's nothing for reaching grandmaster in IT Ninja. It would be great to see a form of recognition for earning this achievement on IT Ninja. The reward should be something presentable in any sysadmin's workspace, promote IT Ninja as a valuable resource, and be the envy of other items in the office.
9 votesI think we are lucky to have the budget to develop, host, support and manage this site already. The fact that we can send prizes all over the world is amazing. While I like the idea of adding something for the Grandmaster level, a physical prize may not be possible. Grandmaster was added so that those reaching black-belt still had something to shoot for. Maybe we should add a “Super-Grandmaster” level!

I'd like to see poorly rated content worth less
After a certain number of people rate something poorly, subtract points from the user based on the rating assigned. For example, 10 people have rated by blog post and it has a 1-star rating, therefore I loose a couple of points originally provided for having submitted it.

Truncated blog listing
When viewing http://www.itninja.com/blog I would like to see the latest blogs and maybe only the first 100 words of each instead of the entire blog post.
5 votesThank you. We will watch votes for this to judge interest so we may determine prioritization.

Clean the Questions and Blogs
By this I mean it would be nice to see vendor submitted information segregated from the user submitted stuff. Seeing 100 Kace blogs and articles is nice but only when I want to. It makes it difficult to find and sift through what people are asking or posting.
5 votesWe are looking for an intuitive way to provide this capability. One method would be to support the exclusion of certain tags in search results (right now it is inclusive). Would love to hear any ideas members may have for a good way to do this (will likely need to be some method of tag filtering)

Inclusion of OS Patch Content
I'd like to see the site provide pages for OS patches in the same way software is covered to discuss deployment notes and associate questions, blogs and links.

Bring Back The PM
It would be nice to see a Private Message system added to ITNinja. One very good thing about AppDeploy was the ability to have someone pm you and ask you for help outside of the forum. Or to run something by someone before putting it out there in the worry that you'll look stupid. (Something I've done myself)

Move the answered questions to their own tab.
Rename the ALL tab to Active Questions or just Active. It's good to see the answered question but a pain to scroll through all. Just seeing the active ones in their own tab makes it easier and an Answered Tab would let people look at the solution to educate themselves if they come across it.
2 votesWhile we don’t currently have a way to view just those questions that are answered in a tab, we do have a “Unanswered” tab which I think meets your need for a list of questions that are active at http://www.itninja.com/question/unanswered
Was this overlooked or were you thinking of something more?

Consolidate Activity Feed
I think the Activity Feed should be condensed/consolidated to not have 10 records in a row about the same topic. For example, if a question was asked and 3 people provided an answer, a simple "This question was asked and three people responded" would make much more sense than an individual notification for each response. That way, an activity feed could be helpful when first logging in to ITNinja.
See example feed below:

Exclude self activity feed
I post alot of stuff and well I don't "not care" about what i've done I feel that activity feeds by myself clog up my activity feed so I can't view other peoples submission. A button to toggle viewing updates by oneself would be an great tool and make the activity feed a worth while place to visit.
1 voteThank you. This was part of our original design but was ultimately not built. It is still on our list to do and we’ll let you know when we’ve started working on it.

I think Inventory Records should be sorted by Version number
Also it would be good if a user could edit them

setting up poll questions
Next to questions, blogs and software tips...
The ability to create a poll.
For example: favorite deployment method (I did already see this within questions). best MSI toolset. Or favorite color.With optional: comments with answers, geolocation, business sector.
Or course a policy/statement that it should not be used for politics and religion!1 vote -
