Read This First! How suggestion threads work

[Matt Derrick]

We use Suggestion threads to collect feedback and ideas from the community. Here’s how they work:

1. Posting a Suggestion

• Start a new thread in the Suggestions & Feedback section.
• Write a clear title that sums up your idea.
• In the post, explain what you’re suggesting, why it would be useful, and how it might work.
• The more detail you give, the easier it is for others to understand and discuss.

2. Voting on Suggestions

• At the top of every Suggestion thread, you’ll see voting options.
• Click Upvote if you support the idea, or Downvote if you don’t. The voting button can be found below the first post in a suggestion thread.
• Reactions to the first post in a suggestion thread--positive or negative--will also count as your vote and will be tallied with the other votes.
• Votes help highlight which suggestions the community values most.

3. Discussion

• You can reply in the thread to add feedback, alternative ideas, or concerns.
• Please keep discussions constructive—remember the goal is to improve the community.

4. Status Updates

• Staff may update the thread’s status (e.g., “Under Consideration,” “Planned,” or “Implemented”) so you know where the idea stands.
• Even if a suggestion doesn’t get approved right away, it may still inspire future changes.
