Just a few items that sort of slipped through the cracks or haven't been shot down yet...
  1. New administrative command, to "Sink" a thread.
    The thread can still be replied to, but any bumps are ignored, and any replies do NOT cause the thread to move up the list. This allows a sort of mid-way option between locking and doing nothing. It allows the subject to sink into obscurity without cutting off any ongoing discussion.
  2. Gold Dots and Trancendental levels.
    After a certain antipoint amount, users can no longer recieve antipoints, and have a gold dot which will pop up something along the lines of: 'USER no longer recieves antipoints." The way I see it, it removes possible motive for abuse (scratch-your-back-you-scratch-mine) of antipoints at high levels. Furthermore, it keeps the AP system from becoming an ongoing contest. As for users turning into jackasses once they are antipoint-immune, I feel that most of the problem people would be weeded out long before then, and anyone who does turn around and become a jerk will be prominent enough to earn administrative scrutiny.
  3. (Minor) Assign-towards-even option for assigning antipoints
    If you find a post which you think wasn't really good or bad, but you suspect the user was given positive or negative antipoints unfairly, an assign-towards-even option would allow older members to fix the situation without accidentally pushing the balance of antipoints in the other direction. Assign-towards-even would essentially allow a user to give a fractional amount (instead of the whole shebang) of an antipoint assignment, so that they could bring a post back into 'nuetral' status.
