Esquire Mortimer Leclerc, Master Brewer wrote: I simply must protest. There is no sense or logic in barring the community from making adequate and informed suggestions. None at all. I appreciate the amount of work that has to be done for the development of the mod. I will never be able to fully comprehend it, but imagine it is truly daunting and monumental. Regardless of this, I have, in the short amount of time that I have actively followed this wiki, found some magnificent suggestions, elaborate, detailed and certainly attractive which would contradict the rule quoted above. After all, the suggestions are in no way binding- this has been made crystal clear- they can act only as inspiration or "advice" to Mevans. So why would it be necessary to restrict them so? Boundless as the development team's intellect is (this is no sarcasm or innuendo), some additional creative thought can never be unwelcome! Please, if I am missing a large point here, do show me which. Justify these measures.

With humble respect-

M. Leclerc. I agree with you, but to an extent. You are correct in saying that, "There is no sense or logic in barring the community from making adequate and informed suggestions." However, making adaquate and informed suggestions is what we want, but often times, not what the Mods get.

The more I think about it, the more this change makes sense, however - and feel free to take this with a grain of salt, but a spoonful of sugar would be appreciated - I think, that instead of barring people from making suggestions on some of the subjects you restricted in these changes, you elaborate more on the definitions of concrete, specific, and well thought out.

Yes, I realize that some people would still post things that are not helpful, but I think that those honest people who would be posting what may look like useful stuff to them, but isn't to you, would be deterred a little bit, or at least forced to rethink their suggestions in a good way. That was, generally, the purpose of my own first post, so I'm with you all the way on that one. Thank you for understanding. Sorry for copying you.
