''That unfortunately late closure had nothing to do with me not liking them bundled. The rules state threads must be specific. That thread wasn't specific. It should have been halted by my colleagues before it got so many kudo's. The forum rules are to ensure good suggestions are judged upon their individual merits. If a post holds 2 good suggestion and 4 unrelated crappy ones, but gets 50 kudo's because people fancy the good suggestions, without telling which of them were valued most, it is impossible for Mevans and his team to judge what the people think of all those suggestions. That is why suggestion posts must be specific ... since long before this ogre emerged from the interswamps to join this community.''

''Me deleting a lot of off-topic posts was just a matter of rule enforcing as well, and an unfortunate result of me hesitating too long about what to do with that hot tater. Just like this post and the posts discussing non-topic issues, such posts do not belong in a suggestion thread. This will be the last off-topic post in this thread as well. Just as in the other thread, I will delete any response that is off-topic after this one. If people have remarks or complaints regarding the rules and rule enforcement, they can post on the wall of mine or any other mod or admin. That, in fact, is also stated in our rules.''

''Now, I haven't provided any feedback on the contents of any of the original suggestions posted by Dex yet. I may still do that, but without any off-topic diversions.''
