You said people should put there feedback here. For that reason, do you think this topic should stay open for a little longer than 6 hours?
I want to see how people will actually use the feature before restricting it to certain users (I’d probably restrict it to TL1 anyway though).
You need member to post in suggestions, and you need to reply to post a review. It is already sort of restricted for members and above.
is it bannable to follow vetex or other forum admins? (since following them is a notification)
No, I disabled vetex getting notifications from follows beforehand.

Is it the same thing for quotes? Whenever I quote something Vetex said, I get scared that Vetex will come out of my monitor like in The Ring and stab me in the neck for giving him a notification.
Well if you are quoting him for a good reason he wouldn’t mind.
a following feature added… can’t wait to see how this changes the forums
Can you specify what reasonability is supposed to be? I think I have a good idea of what it is, however I don’t want to entirely assume.
Reasonability is basically asking yourself “How much sense would it make for Vetex to add/change this to/for the game?” Like if it is some gigantic feature request that’d take weeks and weeks to do for little benefit, it probably wouldn’t be very reasonable.
Should the close timers of suggestions that are still active, but were made before the changes be updated or left as is?
You can change them if you’d like.
Oh no, autonomy.
huh, interesting.
guess ill start following people.
aye I got featured in this post!
I definitely like the new follow & rating system. I know for a fact that being able to follow peeps will be quite useful to me.
Dunno how much I’ll personally use the rating system, but I imagine that it’ll be useful.
Finally! Perhaps we’ll begin to see not so popular; but still gold suggestions get a shot at being noticed.
This rating system is very bulky. It has a massive vertical footprint in the suggestions category, and also in other lists like unread and new.
If I’m understanding right, ratings also clutter the replies - every rating is a (somewhat tall) reply to the post, and bumps the thread. The replies to a relatively popular suggestion like meta’s recent one to keep bleed stacking would be 80% emojis if every voter had rated it.
Obviously not every voter will rate the suggestion, but crucially not every person rating the suggestion will vote for it either. I get the impression this is going to result in bad suggestions getting bumped over and over as everyone jumps in to make their invaluable contribution of:
Effort: ✰✰✰✰✰
Quality: 
✰✰✰✰
Reasonability: ✰✰✰
Some people have suggested limiting it to only TL3 or TL4, but I don’t like that either - the noise is still there, just slightly less of it, and our TL3s are our most active users anyway.
It’s also preventing anyone who’s not a forum no-life from “voting” on the suggestion quality, which isn’t great.

Same thing with “Suggested Topics.”
5 suggested topics suddenly become multiple screens.
