I have no issues with most of the ways players reply to suggestions and give their feedback but I believe that certain players are taking their opinions to heart and dragging it too far. I view a suggestion as an argumentative essay; you should use the opposing side's argument to better your own so it makes sense to make sure that the back and forth isn't redundant, using a sharp knife to get to the point rather than hitting it with a dull knife with more effort; for example:
Player A" I believe that bears should be revoked the permission to major in their cave!"
Player B "-1 This is a horrible suggestion and I don't see how this could improve the server, it's a bears cave."
^^ This right here I've seen (Not to this severity but around it) plenty of times in different forms suggestions and it completely discourages players in the future from creating suggestions in fear of being shot down by another negative comment. Players should be uplifting each other in the community rather than bashing each other down because you disagree. Rather instead of you could give constructive criticism.
Player A" I believe that bears should be revoked the permission to major in their cave!"
Player B "-1 This suggestion could use some improvement but overall I disagree, some ways you can improve it are, making it so bears have to give a warning before acting on permissions, and have a more serious motive other than stepping in "Their" cave. The reason I disapprove of the suggestion is that they shouldn't be nerfed due to players being silly and constantly running into the cave/bugging bears without fearing them."
This right here gives an amazing backbone to support the argument of disagreement. It isn't too passive-aggressive and it isn't so much "This is a bad suggestion" rather it is a bad suggestion with potential and this is what could make it better.
I hope everyone can read this and understand and spread it around. Have a nice year everyone.
I know this isn't going to change how a lot of players review suggestions but regardless it's worth trying rather than sitting around and judging from a far.
