[REJECTED] Suggestion: Stricter Suggestion Format
Posted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 3:12 pm
In light of not-so-recent events, the suggestions page has been saturated with non-relevant, pointless suggestions. Occasionally, one does slip through and is accepted, adding further flotsam to the server commands which will benefit the minority of the community. That does not mean every suggestion is terrible, just the majority.
For the benefit of the whole community, I suggest that much a much stricter suggestion format is employed, ensuring that only the best, most well throughout out suggestions are accepted by the community. This new format is designed to help those who are confused see the real intention, and the possible implications.
The new format will consist of three sections: Considering, Modifying and Affecting, to be presented in the format below.:
Considering (...). This is where one considers why a suggestion is created. What is ineffective or ill-conceived at the moment? Why does it need to be changed?
Modifying (...). Here is where one proposes the exact changes of the suggestion. This includes any changes to general gameplay, community interaction, forum tweaks or anything that will directly or indirectly affect the MineRealm community.
Affecting (...). This brings us onto the final point. Who does it affect? How does it affect them? What are the implications?
//
Here is an example below. This is my suggestion (above) in the format I propose.
Considering the onslaught of new, shallow suggestions. These are becoming a redundant trait that is spamming the forums with nonsensical and pointless changes. This suggestion will help to minimise this.
Modifying the format of suggestions. This new format described is shown in this thread. All suggestions would have to be written like this. Any suggestion that does not adhere to the format will be marked invalid immediately.
Affecting the general forum community, and more severely, those who propose suggestions. The change brought about will modify the suggestion format to a more efficient and economical position, that will help people better understand what the suggestion entails. No coding is required, just a change to the instructions on this thread. Possible implications include the odd good suggestion marked invalid due to improper formatting.
Recognise a similar format somewhere else? This proposed format is not an original idea, rather, a modification of an idea from another site. No advertising, so I can't say it!
