Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):
Reducing the weekly requirement back to 2 hours.
How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:
It would help combat the problem of not having a lot of staff members as people would be able to play on the server and be staff even if they have work. This used to be the case before when there were a lot of staff members but increasing the minimum lowered the staff count, so maybe decreasing the requirement will make people more obliged to go for staff.
Potential Issues/Exploits:
Filthy timefarmers

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):
An IP checker that checks if a persons IP is the same as a banned player without telling you the IP
How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:
Would make it a lot easier to catch someone who is ban evading, this would most probably be for people who are super admin +
Potential Issues/Exploits:
Glitching it to tell you someone's IP
Additional notes:
According to Xnator something similar to this is on TTT so it wouldn't be too hard to put onto prop hunt

More Maps
How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:
New maps for both newer and older players to enjoy while giving the server some change.
Potential Issues/Exploits:
Nothing that I could see after some basic testing of the maps. Most, if not all, of the maps have had their major exploits fixed. The only issue I can see is that some of the maps can be quite large; these will be marked with [L] for distinction.
Additional notes:
The maps I have included were not just randomly picked. After much research and questioning, they were found to be the most popular and well-liked among our server's playerbase as well as from other servers' that also followed Xnator's request of not requiring any outside game content (i.e. CSS, HL2, etc...) and having 40+ spawn points.

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):
VIP Prop (or VIProp)
How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:
Players, especially hunters, would be more incentivised to hunting down a prop that is worth twice as much while also possibly increasing other props' survivability. Also further encourages friendly competition between hunters while playing.
Potential Issues/Exploits:
Nothing if coded correctly and player count restrictions are placed, similar to the point betting system's.
Additional notes:
A single player on ‘Props’ will be chosen at random to be the VIP who will give twice (or higher than) the usual PS points and more XP from being killed. They will be chosen about 30-40 seconds after hunters' start of play (to lessen chances of AFK props being chosen) and will be indicated by an alert both in the chat box and somewhere on screen, either subtlety in the middle or in the top-right corner possibly followed by a sound as well.
The alert will say something along the lines of: “Player X is the VIP! Kill them for Double XP and Points!”. When the VIP is killed, the usual top-left alert will appear though will be edited to reflect the greater point reward. For this feature to be enabled, there must >=7 (not definite value) players on the server as to avoid abuse of it during lower player counts.
That's the main suggestion; what I have included in the spoiler below is mainly an aesthetic supplement to the concept.
Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):
Add an option which would no longer show Auras to other players if you are on the Prop Team (It should be turned on by default)
How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:
Some people believe that it automatically turns off which makes sense, because it would be kind of dumb to have an aura which will always give you away as a prop. However it does not, and if you want to play with auras on Prophunt you would need to turn them off every second round so you dont die from them. This would ifx that entirely.
Potential Issues/Exploits:
I dont see any Issues, only positives.
Additional notes:
I could finally show off my Auras without being annoyed from it
Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):
Add checkspec to the tab menu
How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:
Make it easier to checkspec someone
Potential Issues/Exploits:
None
Additional notes:
It's not necessary but it's a quality of life improvement
Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):
Remove the spawnpoint (ph_crashhouse) where you spawn right in front of a nitro bomb, so any unsuspecting user wont instantly die when they try to run at the start of the round
How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:
Less people rage quitting?
Potential Issues/Exploits:

The map may need more spawn points

Suggestion Title (What are you Suggesting):
Money and Xp for taunting
How / why would it benefit the Prophunt server:
Would make people more likely to taunt, adds an element of risk for a reward.
Potential Issues/Exploits:
Spamming taunts, but a simple limit on the amount of taunts that give a rewards per round would stop this.
Additional notes:
Currently, this I what I believe should be added:
Lower experience thresholds to reach the higher ranks - Currently, it is practically impossible to reach the maximum level on prop hunt due to the sheer amount of experience needed to get the last 5 levels, as to get max level, you require about 48,000 xp. Lowering this will make more guns to be able to be used by the prop hunt players, hopefully making it more exciting and a more realistic target to reach.
More ranks and weapons to use - Currently, I believe that there are far too few variety of weapons within the game mode, with a lot of the weapons being assault rifles and submachine guns which all practically feel the same to use. I believe we should add more shotguns, lightmachine guns, extra explosives for higher levelled players, and maybe even the PSG or dragunov. Working in semi unison with the previous suggestion, this will make more guns available to more players, leaving a target for players to find.
More maps - This is self explanatory, adding more maps with no bugs and are not too big will prevent the game mode from getting too monotonous, currently there are quite a few previous maps that could be readded as the current map pool is far too small, which leads to many players becoming bored.
VIP prop - This was a suggestion accepting a very long time ago which was suggested by Ramen, this is a concept where you get more experience for killing a certain prop. I believe this generation could be based off a few things: The amount of kills someone has gained as a hunter, the amount of end round rewards the player has gained, the time survived the previous round as a prop, and the current amount of time spent on the server by the player. I believe this would add more excitement towards the rounds
Experience and points for taunting - Currently, there is very little benefit to taunting other than getting 20 more xp at the end of the round for taunting. I believe that there should be a system that tallies up the amount of times you have taunted, and if you survive the round then you get a certain amount of points, obviously there would be a threshold so people do lot get loads of xp and points
Betting - Not sure why it was removed in the first place but it added some form of risk and players seemed to enjoy it and complained to me multiple times, to my knowledge it still has not been readded to the server.
Increasing the end round rewards value - Currently, you only get around 20 experience for being the best at the round in something, such as taunting he most of surviving the longest as prop. I believe this should be increased and add points as well, so players who afk will get less points than players who actively play and make the server enjoyable, also making it easier to unlock higher levelled weapons
This is some stuff I compiled mainly because it seems forgotten and untouched, with nothing happening from these suggestions even though many of them were accepted. It’s pretty much what I think should be added to prop hunt, xx
There's obviously a lot of suggestions here, I'll briefly cover them all...
Suggestion: Reducing the weekly requirement back to 2 hours.
Response: This isn't something I can apply to Prophunt alone. This is a requirement that is managed by the CM team and would have to be reviewed and voted on by them in a CM team meeting. I can discuss it with them but I don't really seeing a need for this to be changed.
Suggestion: IP checker
Response: While this is a decent idea in practice, it would require storing people's IPs which is a very dangerous thing to do, should it fall into the wrong hands. Not only that, but people like to use VPNs when they commit to ban evading, so it wouldn't really be much good if people spent 10 minutes looking for a decent VPN. I don't see the value in developing a solution for this suggestion.
Suggestion: More maps - ph_bikinibottom, ph_elementary_school, ph_jedi_template, ph_highflooroffice, ph_villahouse
Response: We're open to test these maps for things like props in the map, spawn points and exploitable areas however, we cannot guarantee they will all be added.
Suggestion: Fix Warn ID
Response: Xnator mentioned that this should have already been fixed however, I will double check to be sure.
Suggestion: Fix glitched Hula Dolls
Response: Currently Hula Dollas randomly spawn in the vicinity of a player or players. This only works when the dolls spawn in accessible locations. After discussing it with Chute, he's recommended reworking the addon to accept pre-configured locations on the map that developers can add via console command. Then, once a map is loaded, the addon knows what to fetch from the database and will randomly select 5-10 dolls to spawn around the map. This is a big piece of work but it's on the to-do list.
Suggestion: Limit the volume of web taunts
Response: I'll look into what can be done about this
Suggestion: More maps - YouTurd, High Floor Office, Festive Mansion, 'The Bunker' III, S.T.A.R Ship, Dangerous Criminal Home, Underground Station, Modern House
Response: We're open to test these maps for things like props in the map, spawn points and exploitable areas however, we cannot guarantee they will all be added.
Suggestion: VIP Prop
Response: I've already decided this should be added and it's on the backlog of development items.
Suggestion: Draw Aura setting
Response: This already exists on the server.
Suggestion: Remove spawnpoint on ph_crashhouse
Response: This would require intervention via hammer, of which, I don't have any knowledge or experience with. I can try to get some help from a mapper to see what can be done. If not, just gitgud!
Suggestion: Award points / XP for taunting
Response: I've already decided to add this and it's on the backlog of development items.

Warning: Spoiler! [ Click to expand ][ Click to hide ]
The prop that becomes the VIP, whatever prop they're disguised will have their material overwritten with a golden material [console: material_override models/player/shared/gold_player] which fellow props would see but hunters wouldn't (seeing the original material as usual).
Obviously limiting the material change to be seen by 'Props(/Spectators)' only as would be unfair if hunters could always easily spot out the VIP (unless VIPs are given a sort of boost but that's just an afterthought) or possibly hunters can only see it while dead. The main issues that would arise from this could be the difficulty in coding, though I've been told it's could still be possible to do, and material issues if they don't have TF2 content (though this could be resolved by certain addon(s)).
What 'Hunters' (possibly dead excluded) would see: prntscr.com/kmiwef
What 'Props' (both alive and spectating) would see: prntscr.com/kmiufg
Didn't quite get the time to finish off the concept images so had to use these.
