    I think it's best to appoint some trusted people to look out for self voters and thieves. This would probably change the future for the New Powder Toy. The old one had problems because he left it without anybody able to stop those kinds of events. The server ran out of space on it because SOME people (some of us know if your an original) kept spam posting. Also have some sort of report system to let users "vote" who is a self voter and thief. Last, please add a few items as an option.
    -Coolant=conducts temperature easily without freezing. *optional to have some sort of gas to come out if exposed to air reference to CFCs.
    -Gas= Liquid not oil...highly flammable.
    -Crude oil= Turns to oil and gas in high non flame temperatures. *optional propane.
    -COPPER= This should be fast conductivity for electricity, but if you use Liquid Nitrogen, then it turns to a superconductor if kept cool.
    -Light items= Such as light, so you can make light bulbs that actually light up. Make glass too, not invisible like Powder Game. *Optional make some fiber optic type thing that can be only made in lines and can flex.
    -Rubber= Make it in slabs and lines not tiny dust. Does not conduct. Burns/melts slowly. Water proof, and disintegrates under pressure.
    -Certain Acids= Metal acids, hydrofluoric, and etc...
    ~I know it's a huge list but make it one by one in each update. Or release it on the future at once. Do not need to make all of them...

    Crude oil is useless. Gasoline would be nice. Coolant is okay I guess, but liquid nitrogen does the job good enough. Copper is impossible as stated by Simon, he says if electricity conducts any faster than metal does now then it glitches up. Light items could be useful, such as something that emits very weak photons when sparked up like a light bulb. It's also impossible to have things 'flex' in Powder Toy with the current way elements work. Having to draw certain elements in only lines would be illogical and frustrating. As for the acids, they sound nice, but nobody will ever use them.

    Liquid nitrogen disappears when put with any surface. Ok Crude oil is useless, copper is glitch, but acids. would be great if its something good in the future. Some of us could make some sort of project such as batteries. Another idea was a photon sensitive element, but I have no idea how it would work. I kind of thought it would be useful in a camera like device. Add X-rays if possible too. It's like radiation but this could make scanner projects and detectors. Or liquid crystal! It conducts well and people could make LCDs.
    These are just some senseless ideas I threw out.
    EDIT: Tungsten can resist electric flow and make weak protons that light or something.

    Ad, can you block users who continually commit "Powder Crimes"? (self voters, duplicate uploaders)

    i think it could be cool put a/c or d/c "Creator" (sorry but i dont speak english very well) something solid that brings electric
    A/C : whatever you connect to the line is automatly electriced, not wait for the power cruse the line (sorry for bad englsih again)
    D/C : The normal electricity of powder toy that we all know

    Ad, you may not know this, but are many other users becoming moderators, (I myself do not really care too much about becoming one) because you being the only one to do the job would get to be a LOT of work.
