Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-26172435-20160612162541

The Facebook moderators of the mod team and the admins on The Official Server get a lot of whining, nagging and bragging from people who want to know when and if their community-endorsed suggestion will be implemented:

ASKING about this, let alone WHINING and NAGGING, or BRAGGING about them, is

NOT ACCEPTABLE!

One may, very occassionally, ask for a personal opinion, but not for a judgement. And still, I would not advise people to ask any mod team members for their opinion on community-endorsed suggestions on this wiki. Why? Because those questions are not to be asked nor answered in that way, and asking such questions only leads to utter annoyance by the mod team. So, chances that this will have a negative impact on your reputation are high. Consider this carefully! Collecting opinions and additional thoughts on endorsed threads can be done in the respective thread or in a personal blog or on a personal page, and better not be done anywhere else.

Whether or not a community-endorsed suggestion will be implemented and when, or even put on some long list by the mod team may never be communicated. '''The status of 'Community-Endorsed' on this wiki means 'Sufficienlty supported by the wiki community to justify keeping the suggestion in a separate board'. That's it! No further guarantees. No more expectations.''' The suggestions in that board are provided to the mod team for them to screen and get inspired by whenever they please.

We are still discussing options with the mod team to receive feedback by the mod team on those suggestion threads so we can mark them as either/or: 1) definitely rejected, 2) accepted (part of) the proposal(s) in a thread and plan it for implementation or directly implement it for next update, or 3) kept open for later review.

I hope this clarifies the meaning of 'Endorsed' and helps minimize further annoyance with the mod team and Mevans. Anyone who cannot understand this and acts as if 'Endorsed' would have any further implications deserves a very intense spanking and I'll be happy to be the executioner.

Questions? Feedback?

Yours truly,
