Crafterthecaster Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'm not an experienced trader and I only have one accepted suggestion. But I have a question: Does suggestion always require a link? If so (like I assume) why can't they just make it so that the suggestion cannot be posted without a working link? That way you can prevent suggestion like these from clogging up the recent suggestion list. http://backpack.tf/vote/id/55d1abebdea9e942768b4570 If the website cannot detect a single link after the suggester clicks submit he or she may receive a message that tells them that they can't suggest without a link or they have to check if their links were broken or not and the suggestion wouldn't be posted. That way it would save the mod's time and clean a portion of the suggestion tab. Was this implemented already? I'm pretty sure this idea probably have been thought up before. If so, why didn't they do it? Actually, when I think about it, people will find a dumb link just to get pass this system anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roller Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 http://backpack.tf/vote/id/55e27ebbdea9e9e2488b4671 But of course, a link supporting what was said would be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DejaQ Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Some people won't be deterred by this rule and will just add any old link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadscope Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I kinda think it's not there because admins sometimes get bored and need a bad suggestion to close every now and again to pass the time. :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budi Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I kinda think it's not there because admins sometimes get bored and need a bad suggestion to close every now and again to pass the time. :0 Which is stupid because that defeats the purpose of what should be happening; namely as many good suggestions being posted and accepted to keep up with the growing number of items to price. Using "closing bad suggestions because they are bored" or "we leave those up so people can get free rep votes" is moronic. Yet no matter how many times the people with common sense suggest this, it continues to fall on deaf ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddingkip Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I kinda think it's not there because admins sometimes get bored and need a bad suggestion to close every now and again to pass the time. :0 That's not it. I'm not a site admin and thus don't deal with this myself. But the other members of the team have expressed numerous times that closing a proofless/troll suggestion takes virtually no time so it wouldn't be worth adding this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gent♥ Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 As evidenced just this morning with this, forcing the inclusion of links guarantees nothing for the quality of a suggestion. Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
