Is there any way we can have an 'unread notifications counter' on the activity dropdown? It's a little annoying having to check it every now and then to see if anything new has happened.
Apart from that, I'm kinda hoping this doesn't turn into another reddit in some ways. Many reddit users seemed to have a massive hardon for 'Freedom of Speech' and used that as an excuse to be horrible people. Obviously, the reddit admins tried to sort that out and made a huge mess of it, but reading through the info on Snapzu it seems that politeness and friendliness is a core value, and I sincerely hope it stays that way.

I doubt it will. You just downvote the spammers and bad eggs into oblivion. People also get out and out banned when they engage in trolling behavior. This is not a free for all place like Reddit,as trolls find out rather quickly.
That's still rather a manual process. I meant more like the new messages counter the site has going on, except it resets when you open the notifications pane.
We thought that having two event/message counters in one navigation bar was too much and felt the PM counter is the more important number to display. We are however open to ideas on how we can make the notification system better.
Personally, I don't think it would be too cluttered since the numbers would be next to their respective icons, but I can see how others could see otherwise. Perhaps it might be something worth putting to the community?
Failing that, something indicating that there are new notifications would also be nice, similar to reddit's famous 'orangered' envelope.
Also, I'm guessing red username means admin? Green is for moderators, then?
Ooh, that is a good thought. I didn't know there wasn't one.
And I feel like most of the "free speech" drama over at Reddit came from users feeling that the rules were inequitably applied. When "Fat People Hate" got banned for harassment, most of the users that were mad about it seemed to be focused on the fact that -- at least in their eyes -- there were other subs that got away with much more because they went after "the right people" or otherwise got a free pass from the admins. (SRS, SRD, etc.)
Avoid that kind of situation and you avoid the drama.

Edit: Spelling.
