The Suggestion Thread Issue

[Jed1314 420]

I spent a lot of time today looking through the suggestions thread, right back from the beginning of the forum up until now. I noticed while looking through that many idea's have come up repeatedly, suggested by many people and well supported, but they slowly move down the thread as other suggestions are put forward (ironically, often suggestions which feature many of the aspects of old suggestions).

Lumireaver has gone some way to alleviate the problem by creating the "Suggestion Thread Directory".

I propose a second, slightly more involved step to help prevent needless repetition. Does anyone else think that there should be a kind of "community favourites" shortlist, in the directory, where the forum votes on the best suggestions to give them prominent placement at the top of the directory. This way, Bioxx can easily see what we are interested in and popular suggestions do not need to be bumped unneccessarily, so that people can still see them, or worse, not get bumped and disappear.

I know this is technically a suggestion (ironically) but I posted it in discussion, as I feel it is a question to the community, more than an idea

the community favorites idea is a very good idea and we should really try to get Bioxx to add the suggestions directory to the stickied section

I think that everyone agrees about the sticky situation

Thats the problem with a community that is small enough to moderate itself largely,

When we need the mods to do something, it takes them a while to see it

The vanilla forums actually have a similar thing where they'll tag something as 'popular' and stick a star up on it and keep it on the 1st page

I wouldn't be upset to see this carry over

This would be a nice edition to the forums. This should probably go into the thread in the suggestions board for suggestions to the forums owner. :S

That actually seems like a good solution

It would need to be based on "votes" though and not comments, I'd hate to see a suggestion that has been much commented for being flawed to be stickied to the front page

You mean terranz's thread ? You're right, I should have put it there.
