Feedback on our ideas
There is no indication that our ideas are seeing the eyes of the R&D team at Mm for Dreams. Maybe some sort of indicator that it has been seen would be good. How about little stamps on the posts such as:
-
would be nice to know we arent simply talking to the wall
-
This is true. Mm rarely respond to any of the forum, and seem to never respond to the ideas forum, unfortunately.
For ideas though, it might be a problem for them to directly approve/disapprove every single idea as they come in. It would need to be discussed in meetings and such before that could happen. Which, I guess, if they're not doing that at all, then what's the point of us giving these ideas? But that may be a contributing factor to why they aren't making official responses.

I agree with Tap that every positive feedback from Mm would be seen instantly as a "we're working on it right now" message.
Usually (in more "boring" professional environments) you get around this misunderstandings by using a canned response like: "thanks for the suggestion, we'll eventually discuss it in the future". Which tells you nothing anyway.
All in all, while it would be nice to have your thoughts aknowledged, i think it would be a problem in Mm, ultimately making them look as they promise features and then don't mantain it.

Mm have previously said that they read everything posted in these forums. An automated tag when a dev has read a post seems like it could work, letting us know when something’s been seen without slowing down the process.
I agree with what’s been said about direct feedback being a potential issue for Mm, unfortunately.

Pity the shortcodes for the Dreams icons do not work here - unless there is a SECRET way?

@JackyPrower That was my thought behind the stamps. Different stamps for different purposes. So they can say they like it without having to commit to anything - but if someone posted a great idea that the R&D team are looking at seriously then they could leave a different stamp. Also good to know if your idea is NOT possible. Better to know than keep wishing for it forever.
Looking at the OP for this section though it appears that this is not a forum for getting ideas to Mm and the only way to suggest things is through Support. This strikes me as a bad idea. Surely they should leave that for bug reporting.

I have kind of given up trying to contribute to the ideas forum because it does feel like we are speaking in an echo chamber!

In every feature discussion system I’ve been on, the devs usually tag the post as being in discussion, feedback required, currently on backlog, feature under review, feature started, feature complete/released.

We’ll, on today’s live stream when someone made a suggestion in the comments one of the molecules posted a link to this forum - so whatever reasons Mm has for not posting replies here, they ARE reading our feedback ;)
