I know I'm not the only one tired of seeing repeat suggestions about things we know will be turned down (at least for the time being), so how about making 'do not suggest' thread listing both what shouldn't be suggested and the reasons why? 'Cause I'm tired of always having to type out the same reasons whenever someone make a duplicate. With such a list, either a link to the list or a copy/paste of the reason in it would be sufficient as a lock message...
Please post your opinions about this, and feel free to post suggestions on what to put on the list.
Earning Merits: I see people in many forums asking people how they can earn one. Also, for people wanting administrators to lower standards on merits. -N&N Guide -Binary Illusion's Guide
More AP: Also maybe more AP threads? Like this one.
Other than that, maybe you could gather all the suggestions not to suggest into a new thread with everything in the first post? (Btw, has an edit and preview buttons on forums been suggested?)
People have actually suggested that?Well I think there other things in the past that have been issues.Such as....
-Chat Room(Bringing it back) -Allowing people to change the color of their text -Also allowing people to do things with their abouts and such that could slow down the page load time(like putting videos, games, or photos in them)
That's all I can think of for now.I might come back with some more later though.
That is sort of what we were going for with the Common Suggestions sticky, but I don't think people pay attention to it. Perhaps if it was made into its own thread and stickied, people might pay attention to it!

The plan is to make a thread once there is a good pile of the things (at least ten, till then this one is enough). And yes. It has~
Want me to sum up a list of frequently suggested items? i got time to do that tomorrow when im at work (early morning shift 6am till2pm our timezone)
Yes please. I could just have made one on my own, but I want to avoid forgetting something important, hence this thread.

Oh, I know that thread, but seems like people ignore the things it lists. That, and it needs to be updated. And one thing is a 'common' suggestion, another is a 'do not' suggestion - plus, listing the reasons will probably make it easier for people to understand. Will go through the 'common suggestions' thread to check what should be added to this one.
@ Jonny: Uhh, hopefully that was going along with the "What is the Specific AP Needed to Get a Higher Rank" threads that keep popping up ; otherwise, that looks like spam, Jonny XD
@FT6: There's already a sticky saying to not make any more rank threads, so that one is taken care of.
Here's something: Achievements. There are many of them, they get shot down every time, and it ends up being a locked thread, buried in page 5. Days after that happens, another user posts the same exact topic, save for a few bits and pieces, but it all ends the same with "Getting AP for doing special tasks, such as beating a game or something". This can definitely be added to the list.
Create own armatar we've already been through.... Friends online threads, dealing with color, noticing, and the like..and Armortube, we've really only dealt with it one time, but there have been similar ones having features that youtube has.
Ok here is a list of whatâs suggested many times before this includes also the things that has been said before this post.
-More Armatars -More Ranks -Game based Armatars -Armortube -All friends online list -More AP for forum posts -More AP for other stuff -Less AP for comments -Achievements: AP for in game score ect -Chat room!!11oneeleven -Mature games -Flash movies/photo's in about -Colored Text -New Search/Friends search box -Edit button for forum/comments -Last login time for players (when they where online for the last time.) -Subscription to games/makers -Only friends can comment on profile -Delete button for forum/comments -Tagging games by players -Music player/onsite playlist -A goodbye forum -A Block list for your comment box -More AP for popular forum subjects -A preview button (i think itâs in the making though)
Well Zoph we are over 10 ten here and i only went through the first 5 pages.
See, I knew it would make sense to make such thread.
But dang it, I can't remember the exact reasons for all of those. >.< I guess I'll just write it up and show it here in case there are corrections to be made. Not right now, though. My head feels fuzzy.
I feel that the moderators are taking things at the pace that they want to do things. They gave you quite a few new armatars, and lowering their standards on comments, would make merits worthless and everyone would have about a 100 each, making them not as impressive.
If it hasn't been added yet here, then I'm putting polls on the list. It's in the common suggestions thread, and.... hey, they made a total of 5 threads on the subject. All of them shot down, so it's safe to add it here =)
