tbt needs to create an established system

[piichinu]

what tbt needs is a bicameral legislative system in order to effectively fulfill or heed the desires of the general public

this constitutes 2 groups: the staff and the members of the site in which the members are able to openly suggest and discuss ideas and have those ideas be entertained by the staff, rather than immediately being shot down under false pretenses or egotism.

i resolve to push the implementation of a system like this as a means of preservation and/or improvement of the site's quality and levels member satisfaction, with the backing of my fellow constituents, as it should be, of course.

a more congressional and less barbaric and loose system than the one currently established would be ideal, thank you.

There is nothing wrong with people trying to discuss something, but a certain thread is being discussed when the users lack the full knowledge to completely comprehend the situation and the decision that was made and it I am not going to be writing it out in detail as it's not something you all need to know. It was an argument where all complaints were flawed due to lack of knowledge, so it's closed to avoid needless fighting. And if this thread turns into a discussion of that thread this one too will be locked.

If people wish to continue discussing the topic of time limits on bumps (and wish to repeat their comments regarding this in particular in order to get an answer on it) feel free. Just if you're going to use threads as examples then use ones that were locked specifically for that reason rather than one that has a deeper reason that you don't have the necessary information to comment on.

this thread didnt mention those threads at all, theres no link and you should stop trying to make it seem as such

however, since you clearly have some unresolved issues with those threads in question, then lets discuss it. please explain to me whats wrong with setting a time limit for a thread to be considered old, when it would just save the forum from useless clutter, e.g. repeat threads? and why, if there is nothing wrong with the suggestion, would it be locked?

Nothing at all, actually. I'm open to the idea.

then dont lock the thread, simple as. because thats what it was there to discuss, no matter what the thread is based upon

If users "lack the full knowledge to comprehend the situation" then perhaps explain the situation rather than locking threads when people have harmless questions about said situation and thus frustrating the userbase. Also if the base point of a thread still stands, what's the point in locking a thread just because the example didn't fit? There's still no knowledge of bumping time limits, and now you're asking for a third thread on the exact same topic to be made? Why not just answer the question in one of the already made threads?

Also if you locked the thread because you thought someone was just trying to get their post count up (which is such a deep meaning btw) why not post that in your locking post, rather than just "Please do not bump old threads"?

We're using it as an example because of the perspective that, you the mods, have given us, the users. If you don't want people flipping out over locked threads, then provide more reasoning as to why a lock was made.

Regardless, stop thinking about the bumped thread. That's not the topic here. It's being used as an example because from our perspective it was unfairly unlocked. Even without that example, literally pretend that bumped thread never happened because you seem to be way too caught up over it, the idea itself is solid and you're avoiding it for whatever reason, stop making something out of nothing.

Look at it as an investment - make the standard and save yourself the trouble, or don't and this will probably happen again at some point in the future.

I already stated above this thread will be locked if you try to continue that particular discussion.

But, in response to that last comment, we keep commentary like that private between the staff and the user. I brought it up in the thread because you all thought the situation was a lot more simplistic than it actually was and were drawing wrong conclusions from it.

then dont start the discussion, because the thread wasnt about anything that you posted about. dont post that if youre not going to expect a response, especially if its unrelated to the topic at hand

Alright fine but you brought the topic back up in the first place, you can't blame people for responding to something you brought up lmao.
The original post was nameless and exampleless. Even if it was a vague post about you, you made this thread about that.

boohoo, someone closed a thread.
I thought it was already clear that we are trapped and controlled by this forum's regulations and regimes, not empowered by them. Just go with the flow!

funny thing is though, no rules were broken. or at least not relating to any thread we were upset about

No.

This is ridiculous. This is a forum for people to chat with Animal Crossing players and have fun. It isn't some kind of government body or posh organisation. Don't treat it like one. We're all here to have fun. If you're not having fun, nobody wants you here. Bye!

No one's mad about the closed threads oh my god lol.
We're just wondering why it took multiple threads for a question and suggestion to be actually seen as a question and suggestion, and actually be answered properly.

this kind of behavior out of forum staff is really counterproductive and not progressive in the least. to ensure this forum is the best experience possible for the users, suggestions need to be seen for what they are; suggestions

Honestly I don't see what's wrong with posting suggestions...?
The mods are probably shooting them all down with an immediate "hell no" because they all likely have a full plate and don't have the time to implement those suggestions, when in reality only a small number of users actually want it.
This all boils down to the fact that TBT is a massive site with a ****ton of members, and only a few mods/admins who all aren't on the exact same page.

This discussion is important, I agree, but making the mods feel shtty over the past isn't going to help the future. Point out the things they did wrong, let them see it, and walk away. I see so many important things you guys are mentioning here that do need heard, but y'all seem to be trying to start a flame war.

That's just my opinion.

if what were saying makes the mods feel bad, that was not our intention. We are not trying to start a flame war either. id rather you cease the accusation so this thread doesnt get locked, and before it turns into something more harmful than it is. this thread was made to help people, and the site as a whole

Sure @ the first thing (though I think suggestions should be explained why they're shot down rather than just a "hell no") but who's starting a flame war?
Being blunt in your response isn't the same as someone trying to start something. If I made Tina feel ****ty then my bad, but I'm mainly just confused as to why the situation was handled how it was.
