Also, if any of these already exists please let me know. FB Ads wants, a thread:

Facebook has been doing a lot right for us advertisers in terms of developing new tools. I don't see this as a list of complaints, but rather ways to further improve the platform.

What would you have added to the list? Will #zuck ever see this? Find out next time...
