Sure. I’ll move those which you named.
btw. any user on the user level 3 can also re-categorize topics. And those of you who are not yet on that level, you can flag the posts to bring them to moderators’ attention.

Here’s the list of requirements to be a level 3 user, in case anyone’s wondering:
https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/
To get to trust level 3, in the last 100 days…
- Must have visited at least 50% of days
- Must have replied to at least 10 different non-PM topics
- Of topics created in the last 100 days, must have viewed 25% (capped at 500)
- Of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read 25% (capped at 20k)
- Must have received 20 likes, and given 30 likes.*
- Must not have received more than 5 spam or offensive flags (with unique posts and unique users for each, confirmed by a moderator)
- Must not have been suspended or silenced in the last 6 months
I must say: I’m not sure if all of those will remain realistic the more activity there will be on this forum. E.g. the requirement to have read 25% of all topics and posts from the past 100 days makes sense if your area of interest is in the most popular category (let’s say ‘Bug Reports’, I can imagine it’ll easily contain more than half of all posts), but if your interest/expertise lies in a different, smaller category (let’s say ‘Design’), you’d basically be required to read posts which you aren’t interested in or which you don’t even understand. Then again, as you said, flagging posts that need attention is also possible.
I think we need a separate category for all (the devices, accessoires, etc) that are up for sale (example: Sony Xperia 10 for sale)
(or just don’t allow (and delete) those posts, I am fine with that too… there are enough platforms online already…)
A device with Sailfish on it or bootloader unlocked is not easy to sell on other sale platform… So i think yes a new category would be fine.

Not really, this is one of the few places where SFOS users gather. I’ve tried selling SFOS phones on my national second-hand site (marktplaats.nl) and the national tech site (tweakers.net) but there’s no interest.

Idea for a new category: ‘Update issues’
where all the problems and difficulties that appears every update time, are together in one category. This would make it easier to find or supply some solutions for occuring problems.

Fully agreed (with almost 100 bug reports of 4.0 all over the categories and not all easily recognizable in the title).
And I would even go one step further and request an own category for each update.
