Bestfriends Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) I would like to ask, have you ever had silverware, but no cake on the table? The silverware is the title of the suggestion and the food is the details as to why your idea should be implemented. There are some some suggestions that either say "^Title^" or "Basically this, please implement devs!" A good title does not mean a good idea. In real life, I read a book called The Craft Of Research and it describes how to provide reasons and evidence coherently. A good title certainly helps, but it shouldn't be the only pieces of text that expresses a thought. Here are some examples of what I mean: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first two examples are suggestions with visuals that help emphasis the points being made. I am not going to discuss the ideas being suggested, but I would like to elaborate on the structure. If you notice with AFDC98's suggestion, he puts pictures first to plant a mental picture of the idea at play. After you have the mental picture planted, he goes into detail why he thinks it is a good idea to implement that control format. KaynineXL has a different way of expressing his ideas. What he does is discuss why the idea is necessary and then takes a picture of where the Ranked Battle blinker is going to be located. You don't have to make illustrations with your ideas though. My next two examples are ideas without the need of illustrations. OldKeith and Xatu discuss why their idea would be good for the community and then they cite pros and cons. The text plants a mental picture instead of relying on a picture to do it for them. I can picture myself going to the PC computer and asking for a PokeLoan or going on the Rental Trade Link and seeing whats for rent. I am not going to call out anyone who is not providing an reason for the suggestion, but I would like to see suggestions with a good title and a well structured format.

Sleepy Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 not all suggestions need any description, suggestions can be simple and described in a few words Laz, notmudkip0 and FuzzyRegirock 3 Link to comment

Perry Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Usually when a suggestion only cointains "Title^" or something like that they are asked to explain their suggestion better. But users are neither (nor will they ever) "forced" to have an x ammount of words in their description nor to include a picture describing their suggestion. Other than that, the Suggestion Box moderation/rules will remain for the moderators to make/decide. Thank you for your input either way Bestfriends, while I do agree with you I don't want to ask users to writte super long walls of text. You (or anyone else) can also PM me to further discuss this. notmudkip0, LifeStyle, Sleepy and 1 other 4 Link to comment
