Recently I have been noticing suggestions being declined and moved to the "Declined Suggestions" section without a valid reason being publicly posted by BeBosny (or whoever declines the thread). All I'm asking for is for the suggestion decider to make a final post before locking it with the reasoning behind each decision. Also, the alert that a suggestion is moved to another forum gives no useful information beyond that it was moved.

If there is a good reason for it to be declined, then fair enough. But we never know if there is or not. I get the feeling a lot of them are declined, just because the person reviewing doesn’t like the idea, regardless of what others seem to think. This might not be the case, and a good reason for declining each, would show that it isn’t the case.

Unfortunately, it's not up to the community to decide whether or not a reason is 'valid'. I do agree that all serious suggestions must have a reason why they will never be implemented, but I can call right now that if we say a 'valid' reason is required, there'll be three dozen people crying about each suggestion being denied for an 'invalid' reason.

Yes, I understand that. I want whichever staff member that reviews the suggestion to post the last reply before locking it. In that reply, they should state the reason for declining it.

I can see that happening too. Some reason would be nice though, even if its just, saying that a feature would cost too much, or take too long to add. Anything is better than the thread just been closed. If its an idea a lot of people want, there will be another thread opened later on, asking the same. If there was a clear reason why it can’t be done, it could reduce the amount of duplicate suggestion threads.

Most of the time I respond. I don't respond when I don't feel like it's needed.

For example, your suggestions regarding pokemon go accounts. It's a market, it brings activity to the site in some way. Majority disagreed with you aswell.

If another member already stated enough reasons for it to be declined and I agree with the user, I'll usually just archive it.

Any more important threads will always get a response from me.

Alright that's good enough for me, but I would prefer if you re-state the reason in the final reply before locking a suggestion. I don't care if it has already been stated somewhere in the thread. I sometimes don't have time to ready every reply.

Thread locked.
