Yes, you have a point there. But thats still the purvey of the webmaster to decide if they want to make such an investment or not. As the costs could rack up in hundreds or even 1k of euro's this goes beyond the capabilities of most webmasters. But lets say this occurred and the webmaster does...

Settings to exclude email verification for accounts that: Have been emailed in the past X months. Are banned Have bounced user state. Have receive news updates disabled AND have not visited for X years. Have confirmed their email within the last X months. Has been validated within the last X...

If I'm understanding it correctly then email validation is done for all accounts, every 6 months. Because this can quickly rack up costs, please consider to implement a few settings to limit which email accounts are validated: Do not validate emails for registered in the past X months. Do not...

One feature that would really turbocharge groups is to automatically invite group members based upon profile fields. If a member signs up and enters Software developer into the occupation field, then automatically invite the member to the Software developer social group. If a member from...

It would be nice if members can pay to enhance their group with new features and styling. Group members would see a 'Upgrade Group' button. If they click it they can purchase the upgrade by paying for it. After the group has been upgraded, premium functions would become active. When the set...

As you know we use amazon ses for our email. This means that we cannot use the SMTP Email Validation feature that DBT mail has. We need to clean our list. Please add a way for us to clean our list with emaillistverify. The functionality could be a full API integration to validate all members. A...

When the site is under attack and load skyrockets it can be useful to disable guest access so that members can keep browsing. Please add a feature for this. DBT security already has a feature to disable the forum when load is too high.

If a user surpasses the set limits in dbt security then we can ban the IP. IP blocking can be done much more effectively through cloudflare. Please add a feature to block users for X amount of time through cloudflare. The Cloudflare API caters to this.

DBT security has functionality to easily block countries. Please add a function to block these at cloudflare level, so that it will not affect the server. Cloudflare can block the countries more effectively.

If cloudflare is in under attack mode or has any settings/mode that will challenge users, then it would make sense to whitelist ranking members and staff so they can keep using the site without getting challenged or blocked. Please add a feature to whitelist all users in specific xf...
