(skip to TL;DR if you're really lazy)
Too many valid suggestions are made without being noticed. This thread, per se, is a suggestion. The Bungie Scheduler Thread is a suggestion. A lot of them are made every week, and, although Achronos has stated that they do mean a lot to the Web Team, I believe that many of them are posted, read, and approved by the Community without actually being seen by those it needs to be seen by: the Web Team. The whole purpose, really, of posting a suggestions thread is hoping that Achronos or someone else important will see your thread, like it, and take note of it and possibly implement it in the future. I've seen a lot of great suggestions that probably haven't been noticed by the Web Team, and I think that they should be.
It would also be convenient if we were able to access any of these improvement suggestions at any time if they were organized in some way. It would be a good idea, I think, to have some sort of thread or group or something else of that nature where suggestions or improvements could be posted, so as to increase organization, accessibility, and the chance of the suggestion being legitimately considered as a future implementation to the site.
I see this idea as being able to work in one of two ways:
Admin Thread
DeeJ or urk or Achronos or sawnose or someone could make a thread, and ask that all suggestions be posted within. This idea is less preferable because it would defeat the idea of accessibility, as a ton of stupid/useless/joke (sorry) suggestions may be posted, as well as discussion other than just the posting of suggestions. I wouldn't really go for this.
Group
Pretty self-explanatory. Someone (preferably an Admin, such as one of the aforementioned, so that a lot of people will join simply because their name is on it) makes a group, and within, suggestions are posted. The key element to this idea is that members of the Web Team are members of this group, and that they will check up on the group on occasion. They don't need to check up on it every day, but hopefully around once a month. The way the group would work is flexible, but basically here's what I had in mind:
Someone would make the group. We'll say Achronos for this example. He promotes someone else trustworthy, who comes here often, with full control, like tMBxjsFsahdsfboY or SJ, for example. Basically, they'd moderate the group, and have some sort of pinned thread that they'd update whenever a suggestion is made for Achronos to check up on so he wouldn't have to go through the whole forum to find them. So, if the Scheduler idea were posted in the group, the Group Admin would be like "kcool" and add it to the pinned thread, in a list of some sort. Achronos could check out any new additions made to the thread monthly, note any he likes, and anyone else that wanted to find theirs or another's suggestion can also. Everyone wins.
So, what do you guys think?
TL;DR: I think we need somewhere to put all the suggestions to make them more organized and accessible, as well as to enable the Web Team to read most of the suggestions made by the Community.
