First please change the icons for the ratings. With the current ones you have to look twice to get the rating. I have attached the new one, so it should be very easy to change. Old.....................New Then I think that we can improve the suggestions. I'm thinking about some folders under suggestions. Of course their is only write permission for the forum admins. Suggestions (<- this is the old suggestions folder) (new folders under suggestions) - Implemented - Rejected - In work - Reasonable suggestions - Trash Pro: - Developers can more easy find the good suggestions - Community does see result of their suggestion and discussion Con: - Somebody have to format and move the suggestions. The ratings should help to judge, if the suggestion is reasonable or not. (Of course I can do that. But to gain the confidence of the admins I think god himself (or equal replacement) must give them a recommendation)
There should be some subsections for suggestions, but for the suggestions themselves, EG: ->Infantry ->Tanks ->Commander ->Miscellaneous
Not many people use the ratings, but I would argue that every five star rated suggestion is a good suggestion.
Damn! You exposed my nefarious scheme to get people to read stupid suggestions by giving them a 5 star rating!!!
There are many threads with more then one rating. But if people see the meaning of rating, they will do more ratings. And it should be only a small help to filter the suggestions.
I use the ratings. I also rate threads. The admin labeling was suggested and the devs shot it down because they didn't have a forum monkey who had time to label junk and code.
not if its a good suggestion, like "add more moderators to the suggestions board" or "impose actual rules in the suggestions board, like actually having played empires, and while you're at it stop posting shitty suggestions fuck"
