I have the ability to exclude image uploads and the creation of new forums to only whitelisted members.

But everyone has that ability to create forums or upload pictures as of now since it's not been abused.

I could also have the wiki modifiable by either everyone, whitelisted members, or admin(s) (me). Right now only I can edit wiki pages.

Furthermore: Whitelisting will allow a user to bypass IP bans and some flood protections. Additionally, their IP addresses will no longer be stored. But if you're accessing the website via the Tor onion service, your IP shows the same as everyone else on the site accessing it via the Tor onion service. If you access the site via the LokiNet SNApp, it's basically the same. It's the same IP address shown for everyone using it. If you use the I2P site, it's the same IP regardless if it's me or you signed in. Because of that, those networks don't have flood limits now so it's like being whitelisted. Using Tor on the clearnet site will just be the IP of the exit-node obviously and the clearnet site by itself would be your identifiable IP unless behind a vpn. Those logs aren't kept anyway but I still encourage the use and support of any other network.
