There is so much low quality posting in the suggestions and bug reports, it's just getting out of hand.

I have a few proposals.

Threads: Minor Tweaks #1
Minor Tweaks should be submitted such that there are no replies allowed. The reasoning for this is that a minor tweak should constitute a change in which is usually trivial, such as naming of a subforum to clarify.

Threads: Minor Tweaks #2 (Alternative)
Create a Minor Tweak megathread wherein someone may look over each reply (only minor tweak suggestions allowed, reactions allowed). Every so often (i.e. 3 months, as it's not critical), each suggestion should be collated and polled upon (internally) and the changes made at once. More organised.

Replies to threads
  • Enforce a minimum word count. Seriously, I can't believe I'm saying this but a minimum word count would actually HELP in this section.
  • Remove the following phrases from being allowed due to low quality posting:
    • +1
    • -1
    • I [honestly] agree with this
    • agreed.
    • yes this should definitely be added!
    • <and variations thereof>
  • Limit users who continually spam +1/-1 to reactions-only for a time period within the suggestions forum. Reporting their posts is a pain in the ass and no one is going to sit there reporting them all.


-> Petition to ban anyone who spams +1?

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

At the moment we aren't planning to do any more development for our site until we can migrate to XF2 since we'll have to rewrite everything then. Perhaps once we move to XF2 and have fixed all the bugs that come with that and have more time for some new development we can work on this, but for the moment this isn't something that we can justify the development for.

Denied, thank you for the suggestion.
