So watching today's livestream, Mod Jack has presented a really decent format/template to give a suggestion/feedback. Posted it here:
Be specific and feasible
What's the problem?
Why is it a problem?
What's the solution?
Why is it the best solution?
Why is this a higher priority than anything else?
This increases the workload for giving feedback, yes, but it is structured and detailed enough that Developers and Community Managers will be able to see a point with constructive detailed feedback. I think this works really well and it's a good idea as far as either QoL suggestions, major fixes or new suggestions. It really works.
On the topic of politeness, it goes without saying that we should be polite and decent human beings. It's unfortunate that abuse is so prevalent and most if not all people working in a customer-centric industry will get abuse sooner or later and none of us deserve it, even if we are "paid/expected" to deal with it. Respect matters, opinions and points of view matter but if it turns to vitriol it becomes harder to engage with a community.
Decent livestream overall. Thank you JMods for the hard work, you deserve praise for the effort and results.
