Attention everyone who traffics this forum regularly, especially those who actually post suggestions and ideas, but not to exclude those who reply to said discussions and ideas:

I direct your eyes to the top of the page. You will see the following:

City of Heroes Forums > English > For Fun! > Suggestions and Ideas

If you haven't noticed, Suggestions and Ideas is now in the category "For Fun."

This is no longer "for serious." Perhaps it never was. This is the devs hinting to us that they don't even look at this. All of your well thought out ideas may be heralded or flamed, intelligently discussed or trolled, but they will not be considered by the devs.

Thank you. You may now continue posting silliness in the hopes that it will make a difference.

EDIT: I am a moron. There, glad we got that out. I had not noticed the categorization myself until the move to the new forums. Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. I'm trying to make it obvious.

I am also a bit of a jerk with nothing better to do than tell you that you're ideas aren't going to be listened to.

Welcome to three years ago. Suggestions and ideas has been in For Fun ever since Ex Libris banned a bunch of people for posting "No."

This changes nothing.

Admittedly, I feel ashamed. I guess the new forums pulled a fast one on me and just looked different. I completely apologize for this oversight.

Although, power customization has been suggested since long before the "for fun" categorization. My opinion still stands that if it's a big/good enough idea, it won't be just in this forum. Good word travels fast, though not quite as fast as bad word...

It's more complicated than that. (And only 3 people were banned)

Part of it was JRanger, responding to suggestions with "No".
But part of it was a pair of posters (Shiverwraith and KittyKrusader) who began reporting anyone who didn't shower suggestions with praise, especially their own suggestions.

The mods just nuked the whole thing from orbit. This is where we landed after crawling out of the fridge.

Only three people incurred permanent bans, but a bunch of people got temporary bans. Memphis Bill got a 3-day-ban over something silly, like posting "no" in more than one word, as was the time.

I'm aware of what the forum drama was about. I and a number of other people asked for more forum moderation. Instead, we got a poster purge and the forum being moved to For Fun so they WOULDN'T HAVE TO PROVIDE MORE MODERATION. The idea, at least my idea, was to have moderators pay the forum more frequent visits and give more attention to reports originating there, potentially handling problematic posters. What they did was handle a few problematic posters THEN and effectively shunting the forum off to where they didn't have to listen to us bicker.

That was not a solution. That was avoiding to find a solution and just writing the problem in as working as intended. Bah humbug!
