That is a valid concern Serraphin. I know you are not the only person who feels this way; frankly many of the people who read the forums seem to feel this way. There really isn't a problem with a lack of responses, but no one likes the response given. Basically, there is a blanket statement along the lines of "If it isn't Combat Balance related, it can't be looked at for a while." This sucks for the non-Combat professions (and those of us in the grey area).
The one thing the Devs don't do enough IMO, is post a response to a suggestion on the appropriate (public) thread. I see why they don't do that though, as it is part of the Corr's duties. We had Holocron post a LONG time ago, and no one can seem to leave that post alone...it is ancient history but people still use it in their arguments, even to this very day. The simple facts that public posts are permanent, can be interpretted differently by every person that reads it, and that people don't forget is reason enough to avoid posting anything public. You just have to trust me when I say the Devs have seen a proposal.

I rather suspect that it means you're a bit of a space cadet.
(TBH, I have no idea what that means now, but trust me, it sounded fab, groovy AND slightly humourous in my head) (Still no funnier now it says spoace cadet. And not on topic. I'm gnna get told off)
Oh, and congratulations on your 1776 post. Independent minded, huh?

I'll move along, shall I?

Calc, I have no doubts regarding whether the devs receive or see the proposals because my point of contention has never truly been any doubt of you or your diligence. I have always doubted the "They". It is one thing to know that the Devs have seen a proposal but this forum has submitted many proposals and still does not know what our Role is supposed to be from the devs perspective. That means to me that the devs have never detailed which proposals or what aspects of the proposals they were sincerely considering. The end result to me appears to be a total disregard for you our correspondent and our community. I don't want to bring up an old argument because I am trying to voice my concerns while self-policing myself as it were but I have always held that you can not assist us because "They" do not allow you too. Because "They" do not listen or "acknowledge". If you hand me a proposal and I take it then yes I have accepted it but if I never read it, question it, research it, or discuss it what use is it.
