  27. Stop brute force password attack.
  28. Configurable no. of questions, answers, comments from one user per min, hour and day etc. This feature is needed to abuse from automated spam. It is done in a very bad now but can be improved easily later. For now it should work for normal operating conditions on a normal QA forum. (This is held back even though code was written. It needs more testing in an automated fashion.)

  39. Admin can send bulk email or private messages to members.
  40. Users can receive an email when someone quotes them, replies to their posts, or mentions their @username. (@username is not done because sometimes last name is missing and anyway user involved in a question will get an email.)
