Hi everyone, here's some of my ideas that I came up with which I thought might improve the forum environment and community:

A marketplace - Maybe we can replace the Accepting LTBcoin For....&Offering LTBCOIN For... with a marketplace with more purposes, rather than just spending and buying LTBcoins. This can be lending, currency exchange, and auctions by people.
A trust system - a marketplace without a trust system will not work.
A forum ranking system - right now there's nothing that measures the a person's activeness on the forum. Maybe the rank can be determined by the user's total online time, posts, likes received and comments.
A time limit between posts. Right now there are lots of spam flooding the forum because of the rewards the sites gives the users for posting on the forum. So adding a time limit would be sweet because spammers who posts nothing of real value have to wait for the time limit. The limit can be gradually taken off depending on the user's rank in the forum.
A bitcointalk signature campaign - This can be a efficient way to advertise the site, bring more audiences to the episodes and have more people posting in the forum, which would be fun!
I'm not sure if this function already exists, but if not, a button allowing people to delete their posts. Right now I can't delete some of my posts and that's really frustrating.

- auction is there already check this : http://auction.letstalkbitcoin.com/
- you can trade here, there are already a subforum http://letstalkbitcoin.com/forum/board/spend and http://letstalkbitcoin.com/forum/board/offering-ltbcoin-for for people who want to trade LTBcoins or accepting LTBcoin for something
- the signature campaign is a good idea, if you want to offer people your signature space, you can offer that in this subforum http://letstalkbitcoin.com/forum/board/spend
- i don't think a ranking system will be needed here, because there already points to measure member's activity IMHO
- there is no need for time limit i think, because there is not even worth to post a lots of post in a day, because there is already a point diminishing system after each post per day to prevent spamming, but most people maybe just don't know about this rule... and for controlling spammer,i prefer a diminishing points for a spam flagged post. (after checked by mods)
- i don't know about this, but i don't really understand that you talking about spammer but then your post count for 2 weeks almost passing my 2 month post. and by the way your 2 new post above can be consider as spam too.

Not sure what thread, but some ideas have been proposed to have a weighted up / down vote system. Users with more ltbc would have a bigger impact with their votes. See if I can find where it was talked about later. I love this idea, and would love to see this implemented.
