Anonymous Section/Option in Suggestions
Forum Index > Core > Suggestions > Rejected >
I think being able to suggest ideas anonymously would be a good thing for the site.
I'm not gonna name any names (I can't even remember any) but I have seen suggestion threads before where people have argued pretty hard for/against things. I can't help thinking that this causes upset and makes people less likely to make suggestions in the future for fear of being verbally beaten down, shunned or hated by others in the community with conflicting opinions.
I want Pokefarm to be the best it can be, and to me that requires a free stream of ideas.
I'm aware that a feature like this could be trolled, so perhaps make it so only the admins/mods could see who made the idea?
I don't support, it says that when you make suggestions, you should have a good attitude, not being snarky and such.
So if people cant have a good attitude in suggestions, maybe they shouldnt make suggestions in the first place?

I am not sure that is possible without reprogrraming the forums.

Unless I'm reading this wrong, I don't see how this would help. A suggestion is a suggestion; people are free to disagree as they see fit. Making it so you can't see the suggester isn't going to block people from disagreeing.
No Support- It'd be way too easily abused. I remember somewhere it being stated that mods/admins get enough harassment and hate already, introducing an anonymous Anything on-site would just... be a bad idea.
I agree that there can be a lot of passive-aggressiveness in Suggestions threads though, it makes it very scary to actually make suggestions especially if you're an anxious mess like me but this isn't a good way to solve it, sadly 8/ I think it's really a case of "grin and bear it", if something is important enough you'll either work up the courage, or someone else will suggest it! ^v^
Additional note for the inevitable 'report the bad users' point: sometimes their behaviour isn't actually reportable, it just makes you feel bad or kinda dumb.
With all due respect:
-I'm not sure what the point about attitude has to do with this idea? Of course no one is meant to have a 'snarky' or otherwise bad attitude when suggesting things or responding to suggestions.
-The idea is not to block people from disagreeing (that would be wrong), but simply to make people feel more comfortable about making suggestions. :)
Perhaps an extra counter-measure would be to have a designated person to screen these anonymous suggestions before they go up?
I see no need for something like this, you should be prepared to 'argue' for your suggestion, that's the nature of suggestions after all. You'll have people for it and others against it, if someone takes that too personally and gets upset or worries about being hated, maybe they shouldn't be posting in the first place.
Plus I find being able to see who posted an idea as rather useful, allows me to see if certain suggestions are purely for their own gain rather than the site as a whole.
even if your suggestion is implemented, people will still be able to argue points and disagree with it, so it makes it kinda pointless

No support. Someone could make 2+ pages of troll suggestions anonymously.
