Who is tired of seeing people use 1 sentence to describe what route they are suggesting? The people who just say the route name or a train that runs along said route. I'm tired, some people are tired and the suggestions thread is somewhat littered with people who use 1 sentence to suggest a route. People who do this know very well that there is a guide on how to make a suggestion but for some reason, these people ignore it and continue to plaster the suggestions thread with 1 lined statements for suggestions Dovetail Games should really look into repeat offenders who use 1 lined statements and should give them a warning for the first time and then a suspension after the warning. And, yes, I do get it. Some people do actually have no knowledge of the route or it is their first time making a suggestion, but before people make a suggestion, they do need to have some knowledge of the route they are choosing to suggest I don't mean to sound angry or anything it's just that people need to stop plastering the suggestions box with low effort suggestions that will not gain any traction.
I’m firmly of the view that posts to this section should undergo at least some basic moderation or approval before appearing. Filter out the one liners or for that matter the reverse where someone writes War And Peace then follows up with further entries below their OP!
It is quite irritating, ends up leading to people like a certain someone who left suggestions in the comments of other threads of routes/trains from a controversial country. Would be nice to have some higher standards to be enforced when making a post.
Honestly I agree with Vern that moderator approval is needed. As I said before, the slop suggestions probably make people who can actually put suggestions into reality not bother to read suggestions, which is unfair to everyone else.
you’ve got to explain suggestions, not just “DTG! Please add [route] to the game, it would be so good!”
As the person who suggested Matt's post on how to write a good suggestion should be stickied on this sub-forum, I wholeheartedly agree. That advice has been there for over 18 months now, there's no excuse for some of the rubbish that gets posted.
