    It gets super frustrating as someone who makes suggestions to have to frequently bump them just because no one decides to reply after a while.

    This is literally just encouraging post farming. Suggestions should remain open until denied or accepted and only duplicate suggestions should be closed.

    It isn’t fair to have some suggestions looked at and others ignored and closed just for not being replied to. It isn’t the thread owners fault that no one wants to reply and no devs or admins reply. So why should we go through the effort of having to bump and ask for our suggestions to be reopened because we want them implemented.

    It should be the responsibility of admins/devs to look through perhaps once every two weeks or so to deny suggestions and put some to consideration. We make suggestions to give ideas on how to make this server better and more sustainable so I think the least we could have is the respect to know the status of our ideas

    I don’t archive any threads that have [Under Evaluation] on, but I do for the other ones that haven’t had people replying in 2 months. I mean, it’s not really post farming if you do it once a month or something. I’d definitely go with the admin/dev checking every 2 weeks, but I’m neutral on the idea because it’s nice to keep sections clean and fresh.

    I agree with you there, Krissy. Suggestions shouldn't be closed down due to inactivity, they're there to try to support and improve the server. Someone could be closing down a suggestion ,that hasn't been replied to for 2 months, that would benefit Skyblock very much.
    I like the idea where the Developer or Admin check suggestions every 2 weeks, also.
    It may keep the section a bit over flooding with suggestions but at least the community is trying to help.
    Full Support.

    Unless you think I am completely clueless i'm not sure what part of this suggestion makes you think staff archive inactive under evaluation threads...
    Even so why should we encourage players to do this? It isn't like players are making suggestions just for other players to comment on, it is the best way players can show staff and devs/admins their ideas for the server. Once we put a suggestion forward why is it our responsibility to keep it active? It should be responded to as a courtesy.
    You know how you can keep the section clean and fresh... My entire suggestion... The more suggestions that get denied, accepted or under evaluation the cleaner the section. Having an organised forums is fine, but it isn't like many threads in a section makes it untidy, and community feedback should be the priority because that is what is going to keep players interested in our server... when they see that their ideas were looked at, read or considered.

    I forgot that I half suggested this in that thread. Sometimes my brain doesn't keep up with my own opinions xD

    Ironically, this thread could use a bump, but yes I think that the suggestions could use some, well, more long lasting life as some threads aren't seen as often as they should be. So support ;D

    Support, but if the idea isn't getting much support then I think it should be locked when it is inactive.

    Support, I have to bump my suggestions every once in a while to avoid it being locked and it would appear that I am post farming but the truth is as you said it would get locked if it is inactive for a month and more.

    Definite support, suggestions are to help improve the server and just because they haven't been replied to in a little while doesn't mean they're not a valid suggestion anymore

    Defiantly support, suggestions are meant to be suggested to the server until it is implemented or rejected, I don't see why they should be closed for inactivity.

    I also agree, maybe add this to suggestions and staff applications?

    Funny*1

    Neutral because if nobody is replying to a suggestion maybe it's because nobody cares about it so it is not worth investing the mod's time in

    It wouldn't be post farming if someone was bumping every several weeks or something like that

    I don't see the issue in the developers taking a few minutes of their time to look over some of the suggestions that could potentially be beneficial for this server.

    Just because a suggestion isn’t looked at doesn’t mean no one cares. And no, it isn’t post farming technically but you are still bumping the thread and gaining post count from it. It is worse if you have 5 suggestions open and you need to bump each of those which then would look like post farming

    Support. I also think the same should apply for guides which are still relevant. They shouldn't be locked based on age.
