I voted on some great ideas...

…on the suggestions page a few weeks ago, and since then I’ve been locked out of voting or submitting ideas. Why did this happen, and at what point can I participate again? Why are we limited in our number of votes when there are so many goo ideas floating around out there? My first suggestion would be to change the suggestion procedure!!!

Just KUDOS for Your post!

There are things that should be done without any ‘voting’ (sic!) at all.

E.g. isn’t 8 months to long to wait for any [URL removed]

[URL removed]
23 members’ votes are locked all this period. [ edited: now 45 votes]
etc.

“…at what point can I participate again?”

You can vote again, when some suggestion will be accepted and completed or officially declined, so Your vote will be ‘returned’ to You…
Or You can remove Your support from one suggestion and give it to another one…

Yes, it sounds like a [URL removed] I think not to follow it anymore.

After all, B. makes decisions based on their own sense of the necessity of the feature (change, addition, etc.) and not on the particular number of votes.

I understand, though, why it has been set this way (kind of more ‘valuable’ and ‘reliable’ votes, when they are limited) but suggestions can be made without voting, just opinions added in comments should be enough.

To Answer Brilliantly

Remember these tips:

  • Use links to other sources to support your opinions
  • Use examples where possible
  • Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?

Should I post a comment or an answer?

You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?

Post an answer for:

  • Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question

Post a comment for:

  • "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
  • When you would like the original poster to provide more details
  • When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
