My honest thoughts on those emoji is that we really don't need more ways to be passive aggressive at each other.

I couldn't agree more. I've always thought having reactions is a bad idea and I believe they contribute to many of the problems we see on the forums.

The spirit that I was trying to convey is that if this is going to be a useful "suggestion" outlet for normal players to make suggestions, it needs to facilitate doing that, and even encourage it. The problem is that there is a handful of players, that tend to be very negative about whatever is being proposed (regardless if the concept was good/bad/indifferent), that gives me the perception of maliciousness in the activity.

 

I'm trying to imagine a suggestions forum where no suggestion is allowed to have potential shortcomings pointed out, and then folks who made the suggestion are left wondering why they didn't get what they wanted... and then I remember a local church with a "silent prayer" wall. Of course, I don't get to read those prayers so I have no idea what folks are praying for or if their prayers are answered.

edit: eyeroll is this one  🙄

@GM_GooglyMoogly, I'd like to have a Thinking/Hmmm feedback emoji, if that's possible.

Lets not make a point of extremes, if you please, and this is exactly the point I been trying to make. I never said, do not let corrections, enhancements, etc not be made

You said if someone disagreed with a suggestion, they should be banned for a while. Guess what corrections to an idea are typically taken as. Even when posters say "I like your idea, but this part should be tweaked in this manner", the response from others has too often been that the person saying they like the idea but think it should be changed or improved is just disagreeing.

 

You also said there are a players that tend to be negative to suggestions, and you have the perception that they are being malicious in intent. So how does that translate or differ?

 

People have different views on things. And everyone is as entitled to their opinions and the opportunity to express those opinions as anyone else. Not just for the sake of agreeing with someone else, but to disagree or even say "I don't like it". Even if people say "I don't like it" to absolutely everything that could ever be presented, they still have the right to do so just as much as anyone else saying "I like it". And if you don't want to deal with that person any more? Ignore is always an option.
