Wow... The suggestion forum area is 500+ pages of random stuff... Really had to tell if the devs have weighed in on a given suggestion without opening each one.

My suggestion is to add sub-folders to the Suggestion forum area.

It would be great to see the following sub-folders at the top of the forum:


- Suggestions in Progress: This would be those suggestions that the Devs agreed to and are slated for future builds. You could have sub-folders for the next release or two and the rest in a TBD subfolder.


- Suggestions Implemented: After a given release goes live the folders can be moved here.

These simple changes would allow us to see who came up with the good idea(s) (Check out the brain on Brad!), have an idea what may be coming when, and would be a legacy showing where the Devs & community have worked together (win-win).

It likely would not be a good idea to put a "rejected" sub-folder as that may slow people from wanting to submit ideas. I would just have the ones that aren't moved to be "in progress" be left in the "good idea pile"... The really bad ones will just shift back into the 500+ page morass that is the current suggestions forum and the good ones will keep coming back to the top of the "good idea pile"...

I don't think that the devs could do this even if they wanted to due to intellectual property laws.

That is usually the case with the suggestions section of game forums, they get few if any responses from the devs.

Likely something like that should be in the TOS already.
