effigy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Not having your suggestion accepted !== We do not want suggestions. P.S. Ober, I suggest I have $5.00 deposited to my bank account every time I help some one out--what do you think? No?! I can't believe you don't want suggestions!

revraz Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Just seems you lock every suggestion you don't like. And I don't understand your 2nd statement. Experience where, with forums, with mods to forums, with this certain type of forum, with replying to topics, with moderating, with admin duties, with code..? Can you be more vague? We gladly take suggestions, but they have to fit our ability to support them. And maybe... JUST MAYBE... we have a little more experience at this than you do.

fenway Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Just seems you lock every suggestion you don't like. The intential of the lock is not to ignore the suggestion... but simply to indicate that the suggestion is no longer relevant for discussion, since it has been rejected, for lack of a better term. Most of the time, it's because the same suggestion has been raised time & time again... our answers are simply not going to change. New suggestions are, of course, always welcome.

ober Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Locking threads in this board means the discussion is over. Many people will suggest something and drone on about it like they can talk us into it. Often it's more efficient to close it and move on. And experience in terms of running this board, providing options for a large community, etc, etc. Having dealt with online communities for the number of years that I have, I tend to get a feel for what is or is not going to work, and that goes for the rest of the staff as well.

neylitalo Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 We also know that if people don't initially present arguments valid enough for us to consider the change, they probably aren't going to come up with them later. And members of the administration team often have ideas, and present them to the rest of the team, so there have been many suggestions made that the users don't see. This might explain our quick rejection of suggestions in some cases.

neylitalo Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I would like to point this out to be also relevant. Some changes requested are those that require mods to be installed, and others are changes that require administrator action. Unfortunately, only one of us (ober) has the privileges to install modifications, and ober and steelmanronald06 are the only admins that have actual permission to make forum-level changes. This is not something we've overlooked, it's something that phpfreak has done on purpose. So when these suggestions come through, they ultimately go to ober and steelman for their approval or rejection - they're the men that have to implement them, after all. And it's not an easy thing to do. They have Actual Life to deal with, and I'm fairly certain that ober's family and Ronald's instructors wouldn't like it much if they started playing second fiddle to a website. I guess we have an unofficial policy that is, to use a huge cliche, "if it isn't broken, don't fix it". Unless things are seriously broken, the administrators are probably going to just leave it be. And, please, don't suggest that we add more administrators, ones that have fewer pressing matters to deal with. It's been discussed, and as you can see, it hasn't happened.

Daniel0 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 [...] only one of us (ober) has the privileges to install modifications [...] I thought Ron did as well... Must be the mod Ron installed. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91068-maybe-you-guys-should-rename-this-forum/#findComment-471429 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ober Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Ron can install mods just like I can. The problem is keep up with all of that when we have to do an update. Look, this thread is going no where fast, so like many others before it I see no point in continuing the conversation. Locked.
