Suggestion to close the Suggestions forums :rejected: but tempting

[Halo]

I'm going to support @Plykiya on this one.

I don't remember the last time someone suggested something worthwhile. The majority of suggestions are already on the sticky, and everything else was rejected multiple times.

Then new suggestions will flood to other forums or... devs inbox?

 

[Halo]

@MavB_Ver Where they can be promptly ignored or legally shitposted, just like the Lord intended.

 

[MavB_Ver]

@Halo
Understandable, have a nice day.

 

[Ari2142]

How about suggestion to shut down the website entirely

 

[hazzack]

how about suggestion to shut down your dirty ass?

 

[Halo]

@Ari2142 Already being implemented with the DDoS attacks, there's no an ETA.
But you can make your own thread if you want. For now though: https://mangadex.org/thread/159514

 

[MrIncognito]

The option to disable "page turning" in long strip mode came on the heels of a somewhat recent suggestion, so I don't think it's done for just yet.

It's just mostly garbage from people who can't read.

 

[Richman]

What if for making a suggestion you had to do a test or read the terms and conditions for suggesting, aka, Reading the "planned and rejected" thread?

 

[Halo]

@MrIncognito I think it was there since forever, but maybe I'm missing something.

@Richman That sounds interesting. You should make a suggestion thread for this, easy +1

 

[MrIncognito]

@Halo
The option for specifically disabling page turning in long strip mode was only added two months ago

 

[Halo]

@MrIncognito Oh, I see.
Welp, never mind then. A couple of acted upon smol suggestions per year is good enough.

Maybe we should bring suggestions to the discord as well...

 

[Mr_Detective]

Rejected but tempting

Give in to your temptation. Don't resist. Enjoy it. To your heart's content.

 

[Aryan01]

@Halo I think we need search in forums, meanwhile currently until search is implemented if someone want to suggest something then they should check last 5 pages of suggestions and also google the suggestion ex google search

Or

@Richman when is the last time you saw someone read terms and conditions

 

[Halo]

Greetings, @Aryan01

I represent the "Suggestion to close the Suggestions forums" initiative. Thank you for making a suggestion.
As your suggestion was already suggested before, I invoke my authority to count it as a vote towards the "Suggestion to close the Suggestions forums."
You don't have to do anything and you cannot be excused from participating in our initiative.

Thank you for your contribution and have a nice day.

previous suggestion:
--- Forum Search Function (contains a list of 6 other suggestions of similar nature)
--- Forum Search Function?
status: planned
In the sticky: yes (Forums > search and Forum rework)

 

[Aryan01]

@Halo my apologies i wasn't clear enough i already know that search function is planned, I was simply suggesting how to minimize duplicates suggestion by mentioning google search in both sticky thread below.
https://mangadex.org/thread/159514
https://mangadex.org/thread/148705

I don't remember the last time someone suggested something worthwhile. The majority of suggestions are already on the sticky, and everything else was rejected multiple times.

Suggestion that already have a thread but not mentioned in sticky thread [https://mangadex.org/thread/148705] may be contributing to duplicates so adding google search in READ FIRST may help rather then just removing suggestions altogether.

Ex - changing image format to something other than png like webp etc are rejected but not mentioned in Rejected heading [https://mangadex.org/thread/148705], but can be checked with google search.

site:https://mangadex.org/thread webp

so we should mention google search also in both the above sticky thread until search is implemented as a provisional measure.

 

[Halo]

@Aryan01 I'm just joking.

so adding google search in READ FIRST may help rather then just removing suggestions altogether.

Would be nice, but I'm skeptical because people don't read the sticky in the first place.

 

[jhs_reika]

If so many people missed the sticky, maybe you can always show them by default when opening the Suggestions, maybe using something like a collapsible above the threads?

And here I am, someone who has read the sticky but still suggested something that has already been planned to be implemented. So embarassing.

So tempting to ask the devs for the eggplant emoji
