Thread: Please Stop PMing me Ideas and Etc.
Guys,
I read every last thread on this forum. Even if I don't like it. Even if I personally think it's stupid. Even if it's a redundant "where's the SL trainers?". Which leads me to this: Please do not PM me your personal ideas or a "look at this thread" private message. PMing me your idea will not get it to stand out any more than the guy who just posted it in a thread on the forums. All it really does is annoy me and gets ultimately deleted.
What I am: a voice for the community as a whole.
What I am NOT: a personal "I think this needs to be done" correspondent OR a voice for an individual.
If I wanted to do the latter, I would simply waltz around e-mailing every last idea, thought, etc. to the Dev's who would simply just click by it and laugh it off. PMing me and saying "Go to this thread a lot of people like this so it should be done" is pointless. I see every thread, I write down physically with an ink pen on a clipboard every last, and I go back to that when neccessary. I have submitted a report back in early Septemer. I have submitted a report in late July. Neither has been answered. So what, tell me, is the point of throwing more and more "ideas" for the class at me personallywhen we still havea barrel full of rotten fish? Everyone is more than welcome and, in fact, encouraged to post as many ideas as you can. When you post, please be happy with the fact that I will read it and write it down in the first place. When the time comes to submit more ideas and problems with the class, I will do so. An idea with 2 comments is just as important as one with 200 replies ... and just because I may post that I do not like an idea or do not think it will work doesn't make it have any less of a chance of getting submitted to the Dev's. DAILY I bump my "Where's the response to our issues?" thread with your ideas, comments, and links to various threads. I probbaly do 90% behind-the-scenes work and 10% verbally here...mostly because I really don't have any information for you. The Dev's don't reply to my subtle bumping, they don't reply to the D.E. and B.H. correspondent's berserk spamming, or to the people who post once a day ... that's it ... there's nothing I can do. Petitions, PMs, e-mails, etc. all won't work either, I can tell you. I know these Dev's personally now, and I know they'll get around to it when they get around to it. Nothing will speed the process.
In conclusion, especially for the 90% of you that just scrolled past all that text right to this:
I treat all ideas, comments, bugs, reports, etc. unbiased and they all ultimately will be seen one way or another. I will not personally condone something I don't like myself, but neither will it have less of a chance of being seen because of that. If you have serious questions for me besides "what's going on?" or anything of the like, feel free to ask.

Parsing man, parsing. 
But then I don't PM annoying ideas to people, i'd much rather have others read them. Which is why I parse.

Have you tried PMing them back? Just forward to them all of the other suggestions you have gotten to date and keep forwarding the new ones as they come in.
If you can't stop them, share the love!
Vemnox,
heh can you limit your pm to those you want to hear from?
At least you admitt some of the posts here are just outright stupid in the other forums i frequent I'm luck if I see the Moderator post at all.
You Guys posting here should take to heart what he say and post openly so we can all see what your thinking and make suggestions, I'm sure that hearing from 50-100 is better then hearing from 1. As Vemnox Says he reads the boards.... their all suposed to do that but not all do.... utilize your best tool to comunicate, this forum and let everyone be heard.
