What is your suggestion?: Implementing a possibility to revise declined suggestions in the past, that are being suggested over and over again from time to time by the community.

 

Is this in OSRS?: No, as we handle the implementation of suggestions on Alora in a different way.

 

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No, as they were all based on polling, which seemed an insufficient way to approve/decline content, as it could be rigged in various ways.

 

How would this benefit Alora?

Sometimes our suggestions are approved/declined without additional feedback behind the reasoning.

 

For example: The option to implement a ground overlay plugin similar to RuneLite was declined several times. With that being said, it was also requested several times after that, where at one point it was approved.

 

I understand that we cannot implement all suggestions and have to take into account all different aspects in regards of prioritization, quick-wins (QOL), new content and so on. However, there are also some real fine suggestions laying around which are being declined, but requested by the community over and over again from time to time.

 

It would be nice if there would be a sum-up of the most declined suggestions by the end of each month. This would give it a revive and one more shot to be discussed/polled by the majority of the community.

 

Pro's:

• A possibility to have declined suggestions implemented which are so sought after by the community.
• Not having to deal with declining the same suggestions over and over again.

 

Con's:

• Very time consuming for staff members to gather, so said list mentioned above.
• Finding another way to actually discuss these kind of suggestions, as polling might be inaccurate or can cause "rigging" in the long run.

Thanks for reading and please, share your thoughts.

I support this, and hope it happens.

I think with enough support from the community and the suggester revising the suggestion and giving extreme detail it would work. So I support.

It will be a lot of work for the forum moderators to implement this, but it seems to be worth it in the long run. That way, as you mentioned, players will be less likely to post suggestions that have been declined already. Support.

I too support this message.

This is not a suggestion, I would categorize it as feedback, so I'll be moving this to the feedback section. That being said, I'm not opposed to players modifying and remaking previously declined suggestions, and we can give them a second look (often suggestions that lack detail or aren't clear get declined simply because they're not concise enough), but it would take too much time/resources away from current active suggestions and bugs to go back on already declined suggestions and sort through them.
