I’m finding a lot of features that I would like to vote on or add to the conversation that are closed and locked.
I’m left with creating new features, which is fine. There is still a problem because users may or may not browse feature requests or run into a problem or limitation in such a limited time frame.
It would be better if the posts were left open and standard moderation handled dups and features were given status.
For example:
Open for Feedback
Under Consideration
Planned
Closed Will Not Implement
Moderators may close or combine duplicate requests to prevent splitting of votes. When that happens there is a reference link added to the request. Example: Add Library Type "Audio Books"
If a topic was made in some other category then moved to the feature suggestions category it will retain the settings from the original category and close. It is a quirk of the forum software. If it does this, tell us and we can reopen.
