WOW I don't even have any ideas on how to improve that forum.

98% of those threads are useless.

They've been suggested before.
They're already in the game.
They're just plain stupid and would basically ruin the game.
They're not even a game suggestion but rather a rant such as OMFG WTF I CAN'T FARM ANYMORE PUT IT BACK.

Okay I was going to die if I didn't complain.

I'm done now.

I say you ban people for not using search

That's what I do in the Outer Circle whenever I can, but alas, the game suggestions forum isn't in the Outer Circle...

As for the other useless threads, I'd simply say we aren't being anywhere near heavy-handed enough with the moderation. The whole point of game suggestions is to help the developers, but I doubt they'll bother even reading through all that mess when no one will clean up the threads that really shouldn't be there to begin with (e.g. the stuff that's already in the game, has no chance of ever being in the game, or threads that are merely complaints, not suggestions).

We don't need to ban anyone, but we need a much more proactive editorial policy regarding what we do and don't allow there, and to act on it.
