To create a better script classification system
Instead of just throwing the scripts into a huge list, classify them according to categories; like site, purpouse, etc.

Put the search box on every page.
The search box for searching all greasemonkey scripts should be more accessible! Please put the search box on every page, or at least on all pages in the directory "userscripts.org/scripts/". Currently, the only way to access the search functionality is to click on the "scripts" tab on the top of the page.

Vote for removal
Hi,
Please add some option where people can vote for removal of outdated, malware, stealing scripts.
For exmaple if a script receives 3 times as much "Remove" votes as "Keep" votes, after a total of 100 votes, the script gets deleted.

Search function on the front page
There used to be a search field at the top right of the front page, making it easy to look up a script. Now you have to navigate to it. This is huge step backwards compared to the previous layout. Ideally, the first thing people want to do when they visit the site is see popular scripts and search for new ones. In its current state, the front page does not satisfy that, and makes it more difficult and tiresome to use the site as a whole.

Show that script is already installed in Greasemonkey
This could eliminate the need to install a style when it's already in Greasemonkey. Stylish has this on their site, and also when a style is updated it says: Style has been updated since your last install.

Use Google's re-Captcha to stop spam bots
We would type one or two extra words per post and the spam would be gone and the forums would be usable again.

Multiple authors of the same script
If one person creates a script initially, then another person alters it substantially (or rewrites it but provides the same features), it would be nice if the second author could be added as an admin for that script for credit where credit is due, and for future maintenance.

Links black list for spammer
Each time that a spam post is removed from the forum, if it contains links, these are added to a black list, if a new post has a link contained in the black list it will considered as a spam post as well and trashed directly.

Implement "flag as spam" in the forums
This would hopefully eliminate the need for the "Spam and malware" topic. Also, a better system to actually follow through and remove spam (eg. I've personally had spam in comments of one of my scripts for weeks, I flagged it and posted on the forums and it's still not been removed - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9580#comment-38856).

Possibility to show in what browsers script works.
Scripts that don't use "GM_*" can work at Firefox (with Gresemonkey), Opera and probably at more browsers. Maybe scriptwriters can mark at what browsers their script can work correctly. And it will be show on the right as a small icons (they can work as a link to FAQ for specified browser). Or You can search on server for "GM_*" tags, and mark scripts as working only at Firefox or (if You don't find any "GM_*") Firefox and others.

clean up forum
There should be a group of moderators who cleanup the forum and expand the forum maybe. The forum is so cluttered that I don't like coming there.

Userscripts.org has now a new screenshots feature which uses a lightbox for screenshots uploaded to
Userscripts.org has now a new screenshots feature which uses a lightbox for screenshots uploaded to userscripts.org. Wouldn't it be nice if we could also use this feature for images linked inside a document? For example, I have a screenshots section at https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/102369; what I would like to see is an option to add a tag that triggers the lightbox to links with an image inside it.
For example: <a href='http://image-host.example.com/directlink.png' rel='lightbox' class='slideshow1'><img src='http://image-host.example.com/thumbnail.gif' alt='A screenshot of my script' title='My lightbox description'></a>
should link to a lightbox full-size image with a description grabbed from the title-text… more72 votes
