How to Construct a Good Suggestion Thread

[cheeseypie5555]

First of all - as you may have noticed - this is not a suggestion, but please, feel free to spam '/signed' anyway.

After reading the suggestion box over the past two months it has become apparent to me that the amount of crap it contains absolutely dishonours the English language (or whatever language it is posted in), so I thought I would make a thread about how to make a Suggestion thread.

Things you should do:
~ Think long and hard about what this game needs and how one small change can help the experience for everybody

~ Allow feedback from the community to improve vital parts of your suggestion

~ Argue your point, but try not to troll, flame others or get personal with others

~ Respond positively to FLS commenting on your suggestion, because basically it means that they are sending your idea up the ladder

Things you should not do:

~Flame, troll and derail your own thread

~Abuse FLS feedback and their opinion on your idea

~Spill Coca Cola on your keyboard (it doesn't come out easily and you end up spamming keys and posting things you don't even think about)

___________________________

The best ideas come from players who understand what could benefit the whole game and not just their own gameplay, players who think before posting new suggestions and players that can strike a balance between 'red cordial kiddy' and 'Microsoft Sam'.

Suggestion ideas:

~ Player vs Player/Realm vs Realm suggestions
~ Economy suggestions
~ Streamlining of complex things
~ Things that involve carebears (everyone loves a carebear, but everyone hates Panda's)

Just a few things that can hopefully keep your thread from being locked or being deemed worthless crap.
