people who scour the board to compile these suggestions
As I see it, the members themselves are directly linking these suggestions right here so that said people don't have to scour the forums for them. A brief glance at recent comments only confirms this. I need hardly say I wouldn't wish to underestimate whatever work it is you're doing otherwise but I feel you've exaggerated the time and effort it takes to copy and paste a link.
...and snarky comments from the sidelines don't even serve to bump the thread since it's pinned. I won't take the shovel out of your hands just yet, but I will suggest you stop digging a hole for yourself.
Still not a spam.
Speaking of snarky comments, you might wanna check-back on that. Humor-challenged-ness could pass as a more specific description than snobbery and I truly believe that it is. Although let's not turn this into "he started it!" argument.
Evidently, handling negativity or what you prefer to call snarkiness is not a standard for forum moderators which is a damned shame as that is quite at odds with the ideal image of a forum moderator I had in mind - if the opinion of a fellow community member is worth of consideration for you.
Even if snarkiness is by some twisted totalitarian logic punishable, I don't see how that is in any way unexpected as things, illogical choices for / of communication for one, from my point of view have been incredibly disappointing and consequently saddening and displeasing, seeing it improve by some measure will expectedly make me say "****ing finally" and that SHOULD be considered acceptable, if not understandable.
To answer your question about how much dev attention this thread gets, it's a two-way street. They've expressed their appreciation for the feedback compilation threads, and as such we brought on a couple of volunteers to help curate them. If we thought nothing would come of it then we wouldn't have bothered investing free time into making them.
And.. that's it? Even you don't know what they're working on, what they'll be working on? A "thanks, man" is all? Still sounds like
hoping that
something will come of it, and I'm uncertain whether that's satisfactory.
