Suggestions

[Stalin]

They're remained at a static 194 for nearly three months. If five were sorted through every day in that time, they'd be down to 44.
I don't mean to be complaining, and I'm aware the staff who handle them are busy, but suggestions are now seeping into General Discussions. There needs to be some type of effort to sort through them. An idea would be to create another folder called "Under Review" where they'd be kept after sufficient community input until a final verdict is decided on. This way suggestions could continue to be created without appearing too overwhelming in a sense. Once the current suggestions are sorted through, it'd allow a steady stream of the ones contained inside the "Under Review" folder to be decided on at the end of every week. Perhaps allowing the developers to handle the less game changing ones would reduce the administrative load on the head admins.

Honestly, just add the sub forum for ones under review so that devs know what had been deemed "acceptable" to review over and such. Then they can be sorted into "accepted" and "denied." Apop has denied the idea before, but honestly it's a good idea. I would also say allow all heads and devs to put things into this folder. Any interesting ideas and such. They could, of course, still be commented on and everything in case something more needs to be added; however, only apop or a head developer (I guess abby) would be able to accept them.

Staff don't handle them, I do. By hand, personally.

Exactly, this under review folder would be a place that your hand picked heads would be able to point out suggestions worth your time so that you don't have to waste your time going through bad ones. You would still be able to bypass this folder entirely, but it's simply becoming unrealistic to expect one dude who's very busy to be able to sort through all the suggestions. Having your heads sort through some that are good enough to bring to your attention would save a lot of time and such. It's either this or a voting system, and you know how most feel about that.

Cough Cough.
You lost a Head Mod and bunch of staffs due to reasons and/or inactivities. You are working through under stress.

Also, I can agree with some of staffs.
MOST of suggestions are just plain dumb and things we have said over and over again "No, this is not going to happen because Apop says no." Guess what? No one listens. They tend to bring back suggestions that were already suggested and denied. They try to make a suggestion suggesting new tiers, we already got tiers we NEED, and no one whom is often suggesting realizes that one suggestion can turn a weapon to alien side and so for human side. Developers has to create an artificial balance, they can never be truly balanced (except paper rock scissors and so on).

It would help if you'd say why this is even relevant.

Elementary, my dear Lost.

Apophis is helping the moderator/admins. I don't know deeper than just noticing that.

Also, Updated former post.

EDIT: I read Lost's profile as Jones.

Someone called?

1. Add a simple voting system to filter out unpopular demands faster, set a minimum quorum (votes cast) and support in the vote for it even to be reviewed.
2. Delegate.

[Mac]

I agree with Dyne. Put things to a vote and let the community assist. Appp can have his workload reduced by suggestions being votes on and then only review ones the community likes.

It would also be nice to allow some other staff to close suggestions that are no longer applicable because of rule or code changes just so that we have an idea of actually feasible suggestions.
