No, what I'm saying is that the community needs to get together as a whole and decide on a feature instead of just complaining about a feature.
If you live in the U.S., imagine that the forum community is just the various political parties that are arguing against each other right now. Ben is the president/general of his army, forced to listen to the whims of every politic. However in our case, we also have other people: neutral citizens who just play the game, and the neutral branch, which keeps stability among politicians(a.k.a moderators).
Ben's in a rut right now. There's been a major political scandal due to a new law(feature) that has been passed right now. In order to keep the stability of Blocktania, he asks his political parties what they would like. The parties respond very differently, and Ben chooses the stronger party(the angrier crowd) and helps them out. However, due to this act, the other party is outraged, and Ben is forced into making another change to keep the peace. This goes on until the law is so severely changed it cannot even perform its original purpose.
Think of the two parties about today's democrats and republicans. Due to the way the government works, they are forced to compromise to create a law, which due to the differing opinions rarely ever passes. The same occurs in Blocktania.
Most people do not realize that neither party actually suggests the law, they just argue over it. However, the truth is that the law is actually first proposed by a loyal, neutral U.S. citizen, who is merely trying to take the actions toward a better U.S. government.
By deciding on ideas before their release(the suggestions sections) we can ensure that the said idea will not be so horrible that it will disrupt good gameplay.
A leader, a sniper, a creator...
an admin, and a loyal clan member of USAB.
