[REJECTED] Providing reasons why things are denied/invalid

I have no idea if forum admins already do this, but I believe they should make a post in the thread they rejected about why it was rejected. This is mainly a suggestion for people who get their suggestion rejected. Maybe it could apply to reasoning why a ban was denied. For suggestion reasoning maybe it could be put as invalid, and a forum admin could put "Was invalid because this has already been posted before." But if that topic that was posted before them is rejected, then possibly also state the reason why that post and why their post was invalid or rejected. Which if this post does get rejected and such, I would like a reason why.

The main reason is the suggestion didn't get enough votes.

When a suggestion is rejected, it means it didn't have enough votes. To be accepted, it needs to have at least 20 votes within 48 hours and (I believe) 70% yes votes.
Suggestions are marked invalid for a variety of reasons but it tends to be fairly obvious in most cases. Even then it's not unusual for a staff member to post the reason.
As for ban appeals, that's almost ALWAYS accompanied by a reason from Rokkr, but the person should know what they did wrong. It means they either lied in their appeal, refused to apologize, or they are trying to appeal a permanent ban.

It probably would be marked invalid, if admins already do it. *facepalm* I feel idiotic. xD

Well I would hope this post does not get invalid even though it does not yet have 20 votes, but it's almost like I have to advertise it on the server to reach that amount. It's a good suggestion, and Intelli should deffinately consider this even if it doesn't reach 20 votes in time.

2 not very good suggestions in 2 days, put more thought into your suggestions. Suggestions need to benefit the server as a whole not just a couple of people.
You also need to word your suggestions better and do a bit of research into them, starting an idea with "I have no idea if forum admins already do this" shows you have put little thought and time into your idea.
One suggestion I made a while back I spent between half an hour and an hour writing making sure everything made sense and I made what I was actually suggesting as clear as possible.
Back on topic, if people want a reason for their idea being rejected if they were to just ask I'm sure someone could tell them.

The problem with voting on some topics is that what may be good for Minerealm to have players wont always vote yes for.
Like saying something that directly benefits the player they will vote yes just cause they want it all positive and have no negative to get it. If having any negative even if its better system overall then they will vote no. Its all a gimmie gimmie system and no giving, thats where it fails at.
