Offensive language filter
A filter that either flags up bad language that has been posted on the group or will not allow offensive language to be posted. Like Facebook can block people, VE should be able to block certain terms and words

Create a polling function.
We need a polling function (like a 'quick poll') people love to click on these things! Could be for daily polls - but also could be used for voting in the college's student governors.

Enable members to submit Questions
VocalEyes could help members get answers to their questions from other group members and group admins. Members could rate each others' answers (this is how http://stackoverflow.com/ and http://www.quora.com/about work).

Enable Anonymous Surveys (by URL)
I use a private group for our organisation. I want to do a member and/or supporter anonymous survey. I'll provide a link in our website, and sent to folks by email. 

The problem is, I find it is hard to get users to Register on VE. Maybe a solution could be to offer register with another account (e.g. facebook, gmail, linked in etc). Bulk load email's becomes difficult with data protection; folk are sensitive about sharing names, emails and post codes externally. 

So my idea is enable a "Topic" in a "Private Group" set to "be accessible by URL", similar to the way google forms does this.

Trying to stop duplicate posts is quite difficult to do, by IP or cookie is unreliable. So I don't really care if people submit more that one; they tend to be easy to spot.

Maybe another way is to create a widget for "VE Private Groups", which you can place in your members website (in our case it's drupal based) or our public website (Mod-X based) which uses the ve-group-admin or other "special account" to login to VE in the background, but post the result as anonymous?

Rate and debate directly from daily emails received
Allow users to rate and debate ideas in groups they are registered to from the daily e-mails in order to increase the interaction hit rate throughout the registered users. This would allow people to contribute without the need to sign in to the internet.

Avatar pool for anonymous conversations
Anonymity is a great feature of VocalEyes - it allows us to concentrate on the topic rather than the personality.
That said, it's difficult to have a conversation if each individual post is entirely anonymous.
To solve this problem, I thought we could use 'avatar pools': we have a large list of avatars available which can either by chosen randomly by the system for a given conversation or the users can select a range of avatars they'd like to use (if there's some avatars int the main pool that they find inappropriate, for example).
This would allow people to identify an individual in a conversation but not beyond the conversation as no two avatars in the conversation would be the same.

Allow voting without logging in
FAR more people would use VocalEyes if there was an option to allow people to vote (and comment) without having to create a VocalEyes account.

Just like www.Doodle.com
It would allows thousands of groups to make quick, simple decisions together.

Create a section to show appropriate Adverts in groups
I suggest this should be a section just under the black bar so groups can decide to show/hide adverts they feel are appropriate to the group.
Adverts can be created at group level and global level.
Select the type of groups you'd like your advert to appear in.
i.e. in Global Admin, we might want to promote websites that encourage young people to vote such as:
http://bitetheballot.co.uk/
http://voteforpolicies.org.uk/
https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote
We may also want to show adverts relevant to certain topics.
i.e. in an Environmentally categorised topic, show adverts pertaining to renewable energy solutions, also trending ideas from other similar VE groups & categories
