sturm the dark -> AQW General Discussion: Clarification (Now lockable) (11/10/2009 16:49:04)

In AQW general discussion forum rules, it clearly states that no suggestions are allowed to be posted.
However, as far as I am aware, it does not say that it is not allowed to make a thread discussing a suggestion.

I have seen threads discussing suggestions with "THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION!" written on its first post in bold or capitals, which is partly why I posted this.

In case this may sound confusing, here is an example thread:
Thread Starter/First Post - "Do you think AQW needs this new feature? It does a, b and c, and therefore it will help by doing x, y and z. What do you think about how this might work?"
Of course, a, b, c, x, y and z are just things the theoretical new feature would do.

So that's my question. If it isn't in the forum rules, I would recommend that it would be added to the list of rules and guidelines - I have seen threads discussing suggestions more than once*. If it is in the forum rules, then I apologise for posting this thread and not reading that part of the forum rules. (Mods/AKs may lock this thread if it is stated in the forum rules).

Thanks for reading!


*I know this isn't the forum suggestions forum, but my thread's kind of a cross between support and suggestion. However, since it's more support than suggestion, I posted it here.

I don't think "Do you think AQW needs this new feature? It does a, b and c, and therefore it will help by doing x, y and z. What do you think about how this might work?" would be against the Rules, no.

But there's really no stopping Members making/creating/posting/Etc. Suggestions which will end in a Locked Thread anyway...

More or less, that's not a suggestion thread. :)

That, actually, is a somewhat (alike) a petition thread.

compared to


quote:

1) No Petition threads
We know there are things you'd like to see, but threads with topics like "Who'd like to see the Tpyo Dmeon Pet in the game? Post your signature below!" just cause clutter and spam. Likewise, using a thread to petition the Staff after changes are made that you dislike is also against the rules.


is somewhat similar. And that is why it's capable to being lockable.

Discussion about suggestion is somewhat like a petition then it will somehow change into a suggestion thread, which will then be locked/delete.



Vivi -> RE: AQW General Discussion: Clarification (11/10/2009 17:04:41)

Discussing a suggestion requires that a suggestion be made, which is not allowed in AQW General Discussion by its current rules. If discussing suggestions were allowed we might as well allow suggestions in general, because everyone is going to be posting their suggestions under the guise of discussion topics ("Discuss my idea here!").



sturm the dark -> RE: AQW General Discussion: Clarification (11/12/2009 16:11:43)

So I guess threads discussing suggestions are not allowed.
Thanks to everyone who replied!

Mods: Question Answered; feel free to lock.

Lock requested. ~phoenixfire555
