The "Suggestion confirm/delete" policy

[Skull]

hi,

im talking about the new policy of first letting an admin look over a suggestion and then either publishing or deleting it. trigger for me to open that discussion was that one of my suggestions was - i assume since it is not there after a few days - deleted. i do definitly like the general idea, but the problem is that you - in contrast to the old system - dont get a feedback why you suggestion has been deleted.

possible solution: whenever an admin deletes a suggestion, let him make a short pm which would look like:
topic: suggestion "bla bla" deleted
text: your suggestion has been deleted cause its
already being worked on/a resuggestion/will definitly not implemented, because...

you could even implement a standard formula for that which would only take the deleting admin like 1minute to fill out and send.

im feeling a little ignored and even if i know that the pr team doesnt owe me anything, i still would like to have that.

ps: i put that here cause there is no forum feedback section, move it whereever you want to.

regards,
skull

Thanks for bringing this up, I'll mention it to the rest of the moderation team. Cheers for the feedback, although I'm not promising anything will be changed within the current system as the reason it was changed was a reduction in workload.

To clarify, your particular suggestion recently was a re-suggestion.

One other thing might be to remove the showing suggestions that have been bumped in the last few days as now its not needed.

Also an automatic message of some kind when a topic is deleted to the OP would be the simplest than moderators sending out loads of PMs...

Perhaps a sub-section for denied posts to be moved into (locked of course) with a reply from the DEV/MOD as to why it was denied?

It could also provide people with an idea of 'what not to suggest'.
