Concise description:[*I see alot of ideas just sit idly .I really think that there need a process they need to go through so that the better ideas dont get lost and ideas that wont work or have
been suggested before are quickly delt with
[/list]
Specifics:
- I like how the map foundry is set up where the maps are approved on different aspect.I think that it could work here as well.I thinking maybe concept, bugs and issues , and than
beta testing or something.If anyone else has a better idea Im willing to listen.Like in map
the idea would have to go pass through all of them and than lacks approval to be implmented
At any point in the process the idea can be rejected and sent to the rejection bin
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- help the better ideas float to the to the top thus helping create a better quality
product for us consumers ie us players - lets the suggester easily follow the process of their suggestion and have a clear idea
if their idea will have a chance - reduce the amount of post in the Bugs and suggestion area
- help work out any problems with an idea making the process easier for the people
who will have to implement the idea - create a clear process that will help spawn more ideas

well,this sound good sugestion,but unfortunatly,like most of possible good sugestion,its will go step by step,day by day,down to page 2,where people will forget that you even post this,because here,you can not put topic to be up permanently,like in Map foundry.
Consider that this idea its fail right in start.

Well, I'm highly in favour of this. I'd also like the return to the droconian style ruling:
- Repeated Suggestions Merged
- No Form = Locked
and so on. Like with the Cheating and Abuse I would want a section for formless ideas and they will be sent to the trash and potentially ignored until somebody puts the form into place, then the old thread would be added to the new and then bob's your uncle and fanny's your aunt.
On a side note, I think the Suggs & Bugs would pick up more if the threads were cleared out frequently and had some organisation. The fact that most recent implementation (Nuclear) came from several years ago. The to-do list is out of date. There's never a clear ruling whether an idea is good or bad, workable or unworkable. The same suggestions appear weekly. It takes ages to find threads that are important or longer. As well as the oldest ideas.
Bugs needs to be split off into its own section. It's rarely used now so real bugs and not-a-bug reports disappear into the oblivion. Even if they aren't bugs people will be annoyed if what they think is a bug isn't resolved with no response. Also, the big thing I think is necessary are mods, sully last posted in this section 14 days ago. Tupence, as follows, once 6 days ago, then again 13 days ago, the time before that was christmas, the last time either of them posted three times (or more) in one day was... The 26th of November, many people post in the suggs and bugs 3 times daily.

I like bugs getting its own section....though I dont think we get many bugs I think that its
something that need a section
Hopefully this wont get buried bc its a pretty decent idea in my opinion

looking at the number of new ideas and the 140 + pages of older idea there is a seriously need for the forum to be cleaned .Some type of system to
help the forum to be organized is sorely needed.

Maybe if you offered to help in the suggs and bugs forum, you could organize it ? Sounds like a worthwhile position for someone with the time and energy to spend. CC is mostly a volunteer site, so I don't see too much of a problem getting the job if you want to lobby for it.

Great suggestion. Which means it will be marked as "PENDING" soon. Which, since it is actually a great, productive suggestion, means it will sit there "PENDING" for approximately four and a half years prior to being seriously considered for implementation. So for those of us who haven't died by then, perhaps you'll see an effective Suggs&Bugs forum.

Maybe if, instead of making it like the Map Foundry, you made it like Nuclear Spoils or completely altering the layout of the game-screen, that might actually get implemented. You know...important stuff like that.

Are you sure, i belive that average new implementation its 2,7 years,not 4,5 years-so he can consider done in 2012 years,month avgust

So just a few months before the world is going to end... so the phrase "It'll be the end of the world before this idea is implemented", is given an entirely new meaning.
On a serious note, new staff is needed in the area. I suggest Queen_Herpes makes a long winded suggestion for herself being mod.

Sure, the average. That's because things like NUCLEAR SPOILS are implemented quite quickly. Because...you know...that was important.
