Suggestions for a more effective forum

[Livewire]

Where would you suggest that I suggest the suggestions board?

I know!

The Feedback & Suggestions project-tool area, right below News/Announcements.



Course it's been hijacked recently and mostly contains posts from people attempting to get help, which needs an adjustment (should really be a forum with mods, and penalties for not reading the rules in there, although I would like to see a mod re-instated for Force Read - can't post without reading the particular thread in question).



My guess is staff haven't looked there recently because of all the misplaced support requests, but it's still worth a shot.

Next best place is Off Topic

I read everything, I just don't get a chance to always respond right away. If a thread isn't typed in all caps and has a decent structure I'll sumble upon it eventually. We'll see about implementing some more suggestions soon!

Thanks Corey.

It's nice to know that "Big Brother" is always watching us.

Keep up the good work!

Of course, my question had only been a leg-pull, but re your suggestion of where I should suggest the suggestions board:

The project area is locked at the moment - at least to me it is ; "you do not have permission to access this page."

I'd imagine that this is for the very reason you have mentioned :- because people have been abusing the area by using it for Support requests.

The omnipresent Corey has noticed you!

I think he has a 6th sense for finding important threads in the forum, no matter where they are, and responding to them. I'm jealous, I have to dig through 20 stupid posts to find one decent in the whole bunch

I think due to some error, us non VIP users don't have access to this feature :(

Moved to Feedback and Suggestion

[Livewire]

Judging by the news/announcements post about Feedback & Suggestions being opened, I am willing to bet that section got closed not long after I mentioned where it was, probably in preparation for it getting replcaed with a proper forum section where posts that aren't in the right area could get moved to, AND from.

Least this way if someone posts a support request here, it can get moved back out to where it actually belongs

Just got back to this. Glad you of your mystical omnipresence, Corey. Hope this stuff is of value. Good to see the prompt action with this feedback/ suggestions forum. Looking good.

eN0ch, you didn't refer to it in your post - so have you read this yet? ;

It would seem that a complete site make-over is already under-way.

[eN0ch]

actually yes, I did notice that. Should have made that clear. Sounding good.
