We would like to see venue ratings incorporated into the next version

A delete or flag a tip option.

Put an expiration date on a tip.

The ability to tag friends in your check in.

The SXSW Foursquare page. For all major metropolitan cities. How cool would that be...? I'm thinking I want to go downtown tonight. Check out www.foursquare.com/DC (Washington DC for this example) then see where my friends are on a map, venues that are trending/swarming. I know that's not the Foursquare app...but I think it would be useful and awesome.

I'd suggest Tip Rating ... if you rate someone's tip (positively) then they get points ... and poorer voted tips move down to deletion

I would like to be able to choose what venues are my favorite, not have foursquare choose for me and they sometimes show up.

Knowing where swarms are is a good idea also.

How about a trending venue being more than 10, 20 or 30 people. I see a lot of trending venues with 3 or 4 people checked in.

Let mayors edit the venue and then send the edit in for approval to make sure it is not something stupid from someone stupid but a legit change.

How about accepting applications for superusers that can merge. There should be several active superusers in every major metropolitan area and regular users should know who those superusers are, why is it a secret?

I would like to have a feature (notification/alert for comments on check-ins/shoutouts).
I think this will be a really big help for us!

It would be great to have a delete check-in option on the iPhone app.

How about the ability to update a tip. I made a typo and could not change it, it was embarrassing after a re-read it! oops!

How about having 4sq update the Facebook places section.

The ability to receive pings from friends no matter the distance of their location.

Re-categorizing venues that were done wrong when they were created. Example, I became mayor of a tobacco shop, Who ever set this venue up categorized it as BBQ. As mayor i should have the ability to make this change.

These are all really great ideas. Keep them coming, I am drafting up a post to have on MoG so that we can broadcast these great ideas.

I would like to see badge levels. For example, Gym Rat level 3, as you continue to work out you receive more badges, but in the form of levels. I have believed for some time that this would keep people active and inspire certain activities to be continued.

I also believe that a venue image would be great. This would be helpful for people trying to find a place and they don't know what it looks like.

How about a way to see the last person who checked in to a venue.

Specific to mobile apps - Separate the friends list from the brands/celebrities you are following - similar to the way it is presented in the website.

I have over 70 retail stores I manage. I would like a way to send our new Mayors a tweet to congratulate them on their new title.

I would like to receive informations about the categories of the venue at the time of ckeckin

I'd like to get notified (via email or something) when you get ousted or about to get ousted as the mayor!

It would be awesome to tag ur friends while @ a venue, instead of checking in through foursquare, then loging into my facebook to tag a friend whos right next to me. And if possible as well to for example: I wanna go to south beach and I wanna see whats a popular spot around that area instead of goin nuts to try to find something. Those would be two great additions to foursquare in my opinion. (:
