Do Site Suggestions Get Removed?

Post by Meeplelowda »

I happen to have the full URL for the site suggestion "Better Privacy: Hide Game History, Online Status, and only Mutual Friends" from another post where I reference it. However, if I go in the Bugs/Suggestions database and sort by number of votes it no longer appears near top, even though it's currently at 2570 votes. Its status is "awaiting: This suggestion has not been analyzed by the developers yet," so it's not like it has been resolved.

There is already a bug report about this "missing" suggestion report: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=167952
But now, when I check the list, it's on the top again. So no, the suggestion was not removed.

Although I value privacy very highly, I don't think this suggestion report is very useful, for it combines three different suggestions:
- Hide Game History
- Hide Online Status
- Only Mutual Friends
And as far as I remember, there were even more suggestions in the comments, which might be the reason why they now have been deleted.

Such a mixture makes a report difficult to handle. The suggestion "Only Mutual Friends" has even been realized years ago, but this report doesn't allow to document that properly.

Language is a source of misunderstanding. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince) But it is also the source of understanding - it all depends on how you use it. :-)

Yep. It's back.

Agreed that it should have been limited to a discrete issue.

Lol, they don't even get noticed. The number one website suggestion of removing friends status be removed from the game log hasn't been implemented for years.
