I have been noticing that the thread has not been updated very much and I think there should be a team ( much like the bug tracking ) to help update the thread so people don't accidentally report ideas.
How about a no --- Just because one person posts an idea/suggestion ... and someone posts another idea ... doesn't necessarily make them the same - even if a moderator/'team' member thinks that they are ... The general basis that someone thinks of an idea and someone else already did too ... means that that idea becomes more popular - and that it is in a 'higher demand' If a 'team' member or 'staff' were to delete or close posts just because it's been suggested before, that's just preventing the fact that someone wants to state their own opinions on a matter... -Plus the fact that some suggestions are so old - that sometimes people don't catch them before posting.
I think that's what the search button is for. The idea seems good,the only issue is that players don't really read the thread.
I meant to update this http://empireminecraft.com/threads/already-suggested-ideas-please-read-before-suggesting.20059/ Since many ideas do not get on this thread causing people reposting ideas.
Oh... that... yeah Well similar to what gollark said ... in the search section within the suggestion forums threads can be filtered ... so just take all of the threads in alphabetical order, and add them to a dedicated 'non-thread' page ... Then when the ideas on tracker are added/in progress/denied ... Aikar can then add that thread to a sub-section in the filter under that category
