It is constructive to say the idea needs fleshing out by the OP. If I think an idea is badly presented, I am very much allowed to ask for it to be fully developed before casting a vote on it. I did not here, because I can't see any use to it, but it's very reasonable to want to know what I would be voting no to before doing so.
It's impossible to have a discussion on something poorly thought out, I'm afraid.
Moderators offering some push back asking for ideas to at least be somewhat developed before being opened for voting is not an invalid point at all.
What are the people voting yes voting for? The abstract concept of weather? Wow.
That's exactly the sort of reason the community doesn't feel like it gets input, because without at least a semi-fleshed out idea it is now up to innogames staff to come up with. That's not a community suggestion at all.
However instructing people to stay away is:
a) Quite rude.
b) Not conducive to exactly what you highlighted this section is for.
I'm deeply sorry I upset you, seemingly personally (I assume because this was one of the first things you did on becoming CM), but that does not mean my post should not exist.
Yes my post is not particularly conducive to a good community, but neither does it directly make it a bad community. On the other hand community manager making the above post however is very much bad for this forum; I've offered constructive feedback else where in this section but because I dare to suggest an idea isn't fleshed out enough to reach a voting stage I shouldn't post here. Are you actually serious?
You're a representative of innogames here, act like it dear.
This message is constructive, well thought out, etc. I believe you have some things right here.
The first message however, seemed - not saying it was, but it seemed like it was - just hateful and negative. You weren't merely suggesting an idea isn't fleshed out enough.
You ridiculed the mods for allowing something that wasn't thoughtful enough to come to voting and said this whole section is pointless.
I think the issue was with the wording, and I'm sure JawJaw can take notice and in the future reply to people making suggestions, requiring a more structured idea that people can add/take away to/from and only permitting voting for ideas that look maybe a bit more like this:
Concept - weather having certain effects on battles in tw
Possibilities - different seasons give certain buffs to different sides of the battlefield (winter is a def buff, summer is an off buff, etc.)
- each day has a certain weather that is randomly decided and gives a certain unit a buff for that day
- certain weather slows down or accelerates troops
etc.
*I do not agree with the possibilities I posted nor do I want weather to make a difference. I just think the CM didn't mean to boot you off and harm the forums - but merely to reduce the negativity, and I think you didn't mean to offend but may have done so by using a negative tone regarding the entire concept of community voting on topics, while you mainly wanted people to have more focused ideas.
Cheers
