   I’ve set the FUT on my post (and forcefut your post’s FUT) to just admin.general. In particular was there a specific suggestion that you were making? If there was and I missed it, please feel free to drop me (or any admin) a mail, or reply with FUT set back to .suggeestions, so I know to add the specific suggestion to the list.

My specific suggestion is to read my post, evaluate whether there’s any information that may be useful to you (i.e. the administrators) or the community, and if so run with it.

That’s not really actionable, sorry. At least not for me anyway.

   Alternatively I could say:

“I recommend disallowing any non-peer-reviewed posts from the spotlight column.”

and

“I recommend a detailed revision page to document changes to the site functionality and/or administration.”

both of which are formalized expressions of some “wishlist items” that I believe were pretty clear from the original post.

Great suggestions. However, they weren’t clear to me, no...

That is, they didn’t jump out at me AS SUGGESTIONS at all. I’ve asked that posts that should be tracked as suggestions be clearly posted as suggestions (not a general thing that one has to infer suggestions from), one per post, in order to get them onto the list. But that’s a new development and one that not every general browser would know, so no worries there.

   If not I apologize, but there’s still some inherent value to raising questions or concerns without the constraints of presupposed solutions.

Suggestions don’t necessarily contain solutions, do they? Many of the best suggestions are about how one wishes things would work without any specific technical grounding.

(...) Again - in my opinion - yes. Lugnet has already been besieged by some serious challenges in the past 18 months, most of which were natural and forseeable consequences of a community that loved its small-village feel enough that it did (...)
