Deviant (DayZ) 43 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Hello![EDITED]A simple suggestion for the Suggestion's Forum.Instead of having the forum read newest posts on top, it should read most popular on top. This way, biggest discussions about things stay on one page, and 28346956 threads about "THINGS I WANT" won't be on the front page every day.In other words, we have this:Instead of this:Then have a moderator lock/hide topics that have "run their course", or are no longer relevant, or aren't relevant at all. Discuss!Also, please read "DEFAULT". I understand you can change it to "most replied" already, however it is not default, and most people haven't bumped those threads in a long time, effectively sweeping away the good posts under the MY WEAPON AND GAMEPLAY SUGGESTION LISTS rug.

thorgold 91 Posted July 17, 2012 Most replies: See belowModerate: FULL DAMN SUPPORTI don't think that making most replies the filter would be very beneficial, as it would prevent newer suggestions (of quality, mind you) from getting much attention. How would new theads be observed and commented on? People won't go out of there way to check the end pages of the forum, it's why we have so many dupe threads in the first place (hell, people don't even read the FIRST page).

Deviant (DayZ) 43 Posted July 17, 2012 Edited to Most Popular.I believe there is a display option when setting up a sub forum that you can have the most popular displayed similar to stickies, then everything else below it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L0G!N (DayZ) 149 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) I personally have a rather big issue with 'most popular' or 'most commented on', because you know what i noticed over the 2 weeks i been here. All the crap posts get tons of people screaming they don't want this idea, or people cheering the idea on because they want more battlefields but just with zombies added. And realy good ideas seem to be hardly understood by people, they don't leave a comment because they don't get the idea and don't want to look stupid. Like this idea for example: http://dayzmod.com/f...loot-buildings/ Which is likely one of the best ideas for the game on this whole suggestion forum sofar...Either people don't get it, or they think it's great but don't actually want to let everybody know because they fear their easy game will be destroyed, and those that do no like it fear of posting to be called out wanting an easy game. So what i am to do, fill it up with a monologue to boost it up so it will actually get read and commented on. And that is not the only thread it concerns, like i said good ideas hardly get any discussion because they are good ideas, or they are perhaps to complex for people to grasp, or they make the game harder, and people don't realy want a harder game... Mostly though i think people have a hard time understanding what a particular idea accomplishes for the game, and if the idea has more than one paragraph (or more than 120characters, or however many twitter allows) they just don't want to read it ...And exactly those things will make a 'most popular' or 'most commented on' list filled with all the ideas you don't want at the top...

Deviant (DayZ) 43 Posted July 17, 2012 Read full post before posting ;P DEFAULT <--Or just changing it so that more important topics that need to be talked about are commented on. Perhaps Suggestion forum should have "Dev Pick's" where Dev's hand-select suggestions they might do in the near future, and have people comment on it, like how sometimes rocket posts ideas and everyone comments on them.

L0G!N (DayZ) 149 Posted July 18, 2012 But he does that in the general forum right ? ... which is where i would like to post suggestions too at times, just because here one doesn't always get enough responses for some reason :/ ... unless if people think your idea sucks then you get a ton of GTFO kind of comments, usually from people that should just stick to the General forum but come here just to insult a few more people, or because they are looking for easy pickings...
