Yes the staff have the power and responsibility to decide whatever the day-to-day policies are for MFGG. However, the community ultimately decides if MFGG lives or dies by those policies. You need a good balance of community engagement to keep this place alive- especially a site based on hosting user created content like MFGG.
That's why I think the suggestions forum is so important and its a shame to see some people put their ego above suggestions. How can you tell me a suggestion "isnt important" when it was important enough for you guys to move it in the first place and important enough for me to make a thread about it? It just doesn't add up. Feedback and discussions are good for the health of the place- I'm sure there are threads that are worth resolving early but I don't think there are too many.
As some have suggested keeping suggestions open indefinitely- I think I agree. Minus World has run the same 'resolved suggestions' kind of format since the dawn of its suggestions forum and honestly it doesn't quite make sense. Yes, the ideal Empty suggestions forum where All suggestions have been resolved might be a good dream to have but I just don't see it happening. This isn't a ticketing system or an issue tracker- it's a forum. Why not treat it like any other forum and have suggestions live or die by their own suggestion merit? We can tag threads that get "resolved" but even resolutions might be worth discussing futher. (though honestly I don't mind a lock and new thread in that case either).
""We choose to go to the [Suggestions board] not because it's easy, but because it's hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win."
