Here's my 2c.

1. Seniority should not affect any of it. Some players want to be active right out of the gate, others never post but participate in other stuff, there is no reason to restrict them. Everyone can easily see how long they have been a member and how active they have been, so people should be allowed to judge for themselves who they are willing to work with.

2. I think posting in Channel 1 should be limited to asking for a loan in shark and looking for poker funds, and should be limited to one post every 30 min. Channel 2 can remain the free for all it already is. The reason I think loans and looking for poker funds should be allowed, but nothing else should be is that those are requests most likely to find someone to help them out. Anyone trying to stake, sell, or a mp loan is better off with a thread because stakes and mp loans have fewer players willing to give those out, and anyone selling funds will usually take awhile to find someone to buy. Those are the type of requests that clog up chat.

3. Threads shouldn't be bumped unless they've fallen off the front page. Anyone looking through the threads will usually look at the whole front page, so bumping to be at the top of the list is just spamming.
