This post is addressed to Zombie Jesus and everyone else who wants some insight on which is the proper way to get administration attention to an idea you have

Out of the 39 posts here, you have made the 13 ZJ. You are also on a 6-streak post here where no one but me has felt the necessity to reply.

Taunting someone to reply is not a good thing in online forums. For example, I feel extremely pressured when a player taunts me to reply and you are doing it constantly. You even posted in another topic in order to make me post here. I do want to reply when I see fit not when someone is forcing me to reply because of the nature of his post. This is called trolling and it is against the forum rules. Next time a similar event happens, your message will be deleted and you will be issued a 2-week ban as you already have had a 1-week ban and I can only double it as per our internal policies on bans. This is a public warning that needs no reply in public.

Cpt Dungeness has made a great post here but I do not see any 6-post streak, not even a single remark from him asking for my feedback. To seal this issue, I am not complaining if someone asks for feedback. I am complaining about the way you choose to do so. And the way you do this is the definition of trolling, as written in Wikipedia and in the forum rules of this site. You could instead create a post and say "Hey, Cpt Jack, can we have your feedback here"?

I am closing this issue now and I proceed further...

You may not be aware of how implementation works. I will help you. Read this for a start: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=353

Now, this is a discussion topic. I would normally reply only if I had something to add or to fuel it further. I did not have. Especially for your posts, I felt no necessity of adding something more because it mixes up a lot of things and changes which are relevant to some pretty basic PG stuff. Also, there are multiple other topics by other players that speak of ideas on how to improve this part of the game. I have not discerned any yet so I am reserving replies for now. I also saw no structured suggestion. You basically posted off some ideas that luck order. They are also unclear. I really had nothing to add, so I skipped.

If you want proper attention to an idea that you like, you should do it the right way which is:
-Create a new topic in suggestion forum
-Select an appropriate title for your suggestion
-Give a briefing of your idea.
-If you can provide a list of the additions/changes that need to be done.
-If you can, provide possible cons and pros of your idea.
-Back it up as best as possible with arguments.

Especially suggestions that want to turn the game upside down, have no luck. If you still feel it is needed, take one step at a time. You might have more success this way.
