I would like to make a suggestion about handling suggestions. How about putting a poll in the field asking members to vote about making a change before the change is actually made? This system allows all members one vote only.
For example, there has been much debate regarding the rating system. Should we keep it or not? I would be disappointed to log on to the boards and discover that they were gone without having ever voiced my opinion about it. Yes, I know I can join in on one of the threads debating the issue, but I choose to avoid controversial topics that get personal on this board. However, just because I do not wish to comment why I think we should keep or not keep the ratings I feel I should still have a vote in the matter. It's a "the squeaky wheel gets the oil" kind of thing. I believe there are many, many, members on this board who are taking this approach to the controversial issues, hoping if we just remain quiet it will go away rather than taking sides and feeding the fire.
So, before making a decision based on the outcry of a few, please consider those of us who choose to remain quiet in order to maintain peace on this board.
