How difficult would it be to implement a voting system for posts using the current forum software?
What voting system? There's already a merit system which is similar to what you may be looking for:

There is so much restrictions in posts here,my posts get deleted often and i feel really bad when it's an important post made about a project thatI'm working on
There's hardly any restrictions here. Have you thought the problem may be you? Your earlier posts are mostly just 'nice project' bounty hunting spam like this:
Nice and promising project, looking forward to being a part of this one
and your recent posts are complete one liner trash:
I would say No,but it's block chain technology is the future
Do you really think that is an 'important' post? No. It's complete nonsense that you're obviously just churning out for the sake of it. Maybe put some actual thought into your posts and you wouldn't have them removed.

Is there any way to take off the 1 PM per hour limit? Is it after 10 posts or something? Drives me nuts trying to use the forum.
You can wait until you reach 15 Activity points at which point you'll be able to send 10 PMs per hour, or 15 PMs per day, or you can buy a Copper membership which will whitelist your account and allow you to send 40 PMs per hour, or 120 PMs per day.

How we can add our avatar? Tnx.
Profile -> Forum Profile Information
But you need to become a Full Member first (120 Activity points + 100 Merit points)

I am really confused. I was banned today with my old account, for no reason at all. I mean I never offended anyone and never spammed. I am really curious of why? I mean any moderator can choose to ban anyone they want? Especially for no given reason? What is this? 
There is no point writing a post here
Open a new thread in Meta about this.
Mention the username / profile link of your account and mods will look into this
Recently most of the bans are plagiarism related (recent or not) ...
By the way thanks for your reply!

Re: Forum moderation policy:
At this moment two of the last 5 posts are copy/paste garbage, the same content from two different noobs.

dear moderator, i am a new bee member on this forum, i am trying to get my self accostomed to the forum policy, so i dont violate anyrules in the long run. please i dont know if this type of question is acceptable here, my appologies if its not. the question is,
is there a way we can detect averts that are scam, or better still projects that are scam, so we dont end up violating the rules, because in my own humble opinion some project are scam even at ICO stage and innocent people working for those project might end up violating the rules by posting for them. how do you tackle such problem?

Actually, it is really hard to pinpoint if a project is heading to be a scam at its early stage.
One way to check possible scam in the making is to visit the section- Scam Accusations Board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0)
Also, there are red flags that you can check - fake profiles, plagiarized papers, free website domains, and many more.
And if you found out that a particular project has unresolved issues or open scam allegations and you still continue to promote it, then, that's the time that someone might give you negative feedback.
Suggestions:
#2. Force all new ICO's into a approval process run by the same bitcointalk members that now inspect and expose fake icos after they post. This will save the bitcointalk members plenty of time chasing down scam icos and hitting newbies with neg trust for promoting scam icos.
#3 Charge icos a small fee for the approval process to be given to the bitcoin talk members that spend time doing the inspection.

I think this is a very good idea. Use the fee to pay people to inspect the ICO. At the same time hundreds of trusted members would gladly do this work. Is there a downside?

The policy to not remove anything worked when the forum was small. Now that we have thousands of posts a day, we can't afford 50% of them being junk. The moderators are now instructed to be less tolerant of low-value posts.
Some guidelines:
1. Free speech - you can say anything as long as it is relevant and presented in a calm and polite manner. Swearing, SHOUTING etc. make your post more likely to be removed.
2. No zero value posts or threads, like "SELL SELL SELL"
3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.
4. No referral code spam
5. No NSFW content

A step in a wrong direction. Now moderators will decide which posts have "low value", which posts are "uninteresting" or "pointless". In practice moderators will delete everything they don't like. The words "free speech" above are thus an obvious lie.
Once the moderation is consistent, there should be less upheaval. When moderation seems to be selective the masses uproar and cry injustice.
The use of self moderation combined with bumping accounts is spreading on the forum, see the NELUNS [ANN] thread for a prime example.
I have been reporting them but moderator response seems to be uncertain, my last report of ~100 posts remains unhandled and the pages continue to fill up with garbage conversations.
The fact that that particular thread is also a proven scam means that threads on the forum that use these bumping services, especially when combined with self moderation, will continue to expand in number and subvert the whole concept of "forum" by turning it into an uncontrolled spammer/scammer notice board.
Ignoring them is not the answer, please have a convo at policy level on this subject, there are a few of us that would help if asked.
Hello sir, please let me know why my post is deleting every time. if a project team wants my opinion then I write in their thread but my moderators it's get deleted. please help me.
Going through your post history, its either bounty whoring or one liner shit post. So don't be surprised by mods deleting your post. As per https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=kumawatashish, 6 of your post were deleted.
second, can I become paid member here?
Follow @SFR10 advised below and get a copper membership.
Hello sir, please let me know why my post is deleting every time.
I checked "mod/deletion log" but there wasn't any (for the past 30 days).- If you didn't receive any notifications:
- The thread you posted in, got trashed.
- You'll receive a notification:
- If "OP/TS" of a "self-moderated" thread, deletes your post (they're not a mod [take note]).
- If you go beyond the "rules of this forum [read everything].
second, can I become paid member here?
Yes (MORE > Buy a copper membership).- Take note of the following line:
- You can still be banned if you break the rules. You will not get any special treatment.
Many people had negative experience with forum moderation policy. Some began their activities on this site some months ago at the first time. And posted irrelevant off-topic by copy-paste which result into banning
they not just that. they keep spamming by double post. i wanna moderator put no double post......WHAT for button "EDIT" i ask you?this not facebook or twitter always free doung by spam flood. i wanna admin here more strict like on my game forum. it's more strict there!
