In that case, find a way to acknowledge that they said it without responding to it. Something like, "I'll get back to you on that." And then try to do so as soon as possible to show that you're not doing it to skip parts of what they're saying.
Okay, man.
Just because some people are hypocritical does not make it a good behavior. And if memory serves, you're a worse offender than they are for ignoring points in greater quantity and quality. Doing it on purpose is fine, just let them know you need a moment to think about it. Or wait until you can respond to the entire thing before you do.
I never said that hypocrisy makes the behavior better; I was just trying to point out the irony of those self-loving posters.
[quote=Chameleonred5;/members/Chameleonred5;/forums/minecraft-discussion/suggestions/64149-please-read-this-before-making-a-suggestion?comment=1094] No. Just paraphrase what they're saying. "You said this: blah blah blah." Don't put it in quotes (if they didn't say it), don't purposefully misspell things (if they didn't do it), don't act immaturely (no one deserves it). And really, if you don't want to discuss something, just tell them that you don't want to discuss something. If you act calmly and maturely and say what you really mean, you're more likely to be taken seriously.
Have you not ever been irritated to the point where you resort to name-calling, or forceful commands?

Yes. Now respond to everyone else you've neglected.
No, I'm not. I'm mostly sure based off of the suggestions I saw before that section was added. I can do some research if you really want me to, but I'd prefer not to spend my time that way.
There's an undercurrent of distrust here. Notably "it wasn't hated until you posted". Which lends toward the argument that bad suggestions were in-fact not bad until this guide was penned. Grinding an axe becomes easier when the grindstone is placing this thread as the culprit. When discussing anything at all, there has to be an "innocent until proven guilty" assumption. We have to assume that the other person we're discussing isn't out to just lie to you. If you don't, then no meaningful discussion can occur; no "meeting of the minds" so to speak as you've already performed a snap judgment.
With that said, these replies seem targeted toward destroying the credibility of the poster, which is playing craps with loaded dice. The reason? This is mostly speculation, but I'd place a wager that you were; in a figurative sense; butt-hurt. Butt-hurt because your suggestions got ripped apart by the "trolls" that read this guide; or perhaps because you've read something here that you disagree with, and instead of having an issue with the specific section; you feel the entire guide is at fault and the entire thing should be burned ALA Fahrenheit 451. If that's not how you feel; then I'm sorry for the accusation; but I can't work off of anything but speculation because I can't see anywhere where you've provided measurable substantial criticism to the guide itself except for <_> I. *tah* I just think that this guide should be taken down, just taken down, because of my unverifiable statistics that I likely pulled from the void.

No, I do not feel that the entire guide should be taken down just because I disagree with a few bits from a single section. So, yes, that was a false accusation.

Some of these weren't hated, until presented in the guide, and some of these ideas can be good if suggested correctly.
WRONG!
Now I'm convinced you're the kind of guy who just makes things up. Those suggestions are in the guide because they're generally hated. In other words, they had to exist time and time again to make their way in the guide. Not other way around. You really should have thought that one out. Yes, sometimes these suggestions are presented in a good way, but overall, they still had a history of being hated. Especially ones like "we hav hunger, y not thurst!?!?!?1" or "we n33d new tools n ARMER!"
That section in the guide has existed for like 2 months. So I think those suggestions had to have existed much longer than that to fall on the hall of shame. So yeah, you gotta think those things out before you say them.
What about Cerroz's post? Just admit it, dude. He disproved the spoiler in your signature with flying colors. Stealthily dropping the subject will not make you any less wrong. Yes, we always know when you ignore a post. No escaping allowed.

The Unofficial Suggestion Guide - Everything you need to know to not make goofy mistakes in a suggestion! Honestly though, you should really go there.
Overall, I feel suggestions, additions and criticisms are best fortified when illustrated, or described by example. When possible, give examples with results as well as an explanation. Also I find including consideration of impacts (other than it's too hard, easy) on the game adds credibility to your argument. Some simpler suggestions (e.g. a multiline command blocks suggestion) are sufficiently interesting to mojang/microsoft, modders and/or other suggestion supporters to explore when examples are provided.
The "show an example with the suggestion is good" isn't strongly brought out in the guide.
It was interesting enough of a concept (someone else's) and along lines I was thinking of. So I developed a mod for myself, and possibly others to execute files of commands and to support rotation of blocks (and fill rotation) from a componentized catalog of "command" language files. While that seems hard to some here, it's not necessarily so. Moreover, someone (like me) may write a mod to develop the idea utility for eventual acceptability in vanilla minecraft. Coding a mod is as easy to me and many others as writing this suggestion guide recommendation. Sometimes, you get something close.
Pictures help also. These can be of the idea or the result.
For example, the attachment of a bridge image resulting may inspire or show weaknesses (e.g. It became clear that rotation means that stair, redstone, and other blocks must also rotate and rotation must cascade through components).
"The image attached shows the result of /ExecuteFile File Bridge.caleb byline rotateWest and /ExecuteFile File Bridge.caleb byline rotateSouth. Bridge.caleb calls lightedrailing.caleb, roadbed.caleb and unlightedrailing.caleb. These are stored in the mod's catalog directory."
Here the image and the explanation clarify a concept of running a multiline command file, which is made component files with rotations of the set of command. Even a scanned pencil drawing or powerpoint block image can illustrate concepts.
Suggestions are worthwhile, and you might not be the only one thinking that, sometimes you can get something close. Examples and illustrations explain things clearly.
Largest file loaded is 90K commands from a command_block.
Lasted Updated Aug 7 2016 ... 1.9 to 1.10.2 Also the BlockDumpMod gives blockdump command which writes blocks to a text file as execute setblock commands or gives a report.
Suggestions are worthwhile, and you might not be the only one thinking that, sometimes you can get something close. Examples and illustrations explain things clearly.
But most of the time, illustrations are pointless and examples are unnecessary. The idea is the most important thing to get across, and so long as you do so, you only need to provide those other things if someone asks for them.
If that's the case, you probably wouldn't be making the reply in the first place. Just wait until you have the chance to reply again. If you're in a situation where you're typing a post, but then suddenly find out your time is limited, either try to quickly explain that in the reply, or explain that the next chance you get.
Well, maybe there are times when the given time isn't enough.
Uhhh... no. I never mentioned Call of Duty perks. You said "We have zombie hordes in Minecraft, like in Call of Duty." As if Call of Duty was the first game to have such a thing. The concept of a zombie horde has existed for decades. Zombie hordes are not a very good example for this subject.
Really? Then could you tell me who this came from?: Yes, there are things that don't fit in Minecraft. Call of Duty perks. Seeds that turns into Starbucks franchises and Richard Simmons mobs.
They would add Creepers wearing football helmets and footballs and washing machines! All those new things! Wouldn't that be cool?! But seriously, whether you think this is cool or not or even if this was perfectly balanced, it has no place in a game like Minecraft. It's just goofy and would be a stupid thing to add. In other words. It doesn't fit. Or at least, shouldn't.
No, I meant to ask if they were going to add anything interesting or meaningful into the game.
[quote]Quote from Cerrozjump Minecraft itself is the theme. It's been out for so long and is so well developed with originality it has actually created it's own theme. If I were to say "Mario theme", you would think about mushrooms, question mark blocks, going in pipes and koopas. If I were to say "Portal theme", you'd think about portals, test chambers, automated personality cores and even combustible lemons. We wouldn't want frat boys that attack you with axe body spray in Portal, and we wouldn't want ESPN announcers in Mario games because those goofy things have no place there and have no good association with those games. They don't fit. Portal has a theme, the other two games don't.

Really? Then could you tell me who this came from?: Yes, there are things that don't fit in Minecraft. Call of Duty perks. Seeds that turns into Starbucks franchises and Richard Simmons mobs.
My bad on the "perks" thing. I actually meant to say something else the first time around and not "perks". But still, if Mojang were to add Starbucks franchises into the game, and let's just assume they did add new stuff to the game. You would still find them to be ridiculous add, would you not?
No, I meant to ask if they were going to add anything interesting or meaningful into the game.
Let me shrink down the context of that statement for just a moment here. If ANY idea in the world added something interesting/meaningful to Minecraft, is the idea automatically overall good? Why is this text bold green? You'll find out why.
Portal has a theme, the other two games don't.
Dude, come on now. The definition - I'm sorry - a definition of the word "theme" is as follows -- "the subject of a talk, a piece of writing, a person's thoughts, or an exhibition; a topic."
Who's to say Mario and Minecraft haven't created/have their own themes? You? You can slice this any way you want, but I can promise you if you even heard "Super Mario theme", you'd be thinking of many things that make up the fabric of those games.
It's also a bit depressing that it had to be mentioned a few times that you haven't replied to my previous post for you to actually do so. All I ask is that you answer the bold green text and I think this argument will be a lot simpler for both of us.

Some of these weren't hated, until presented in the guide, and some of these ideas can be good if suggested correctly.
Guys remember when people would make threads about Herobrine and natural disasters, and everyone would support those ideas with gumdrop smiles? But as soon as they were added in this guide, we were programmed to hate those things? Remember that you guys?!
But most of the time, illustrations are pointless and examples are unnecessary. The idea is the most important thing to get across, and so long as you do so, you only need to provide those other things if someone asks for them.
I would not concur. What convinces you that using images and examples to persuade and communicate doesn't work and is mostly pointless? Winning the competition of a proposal-suggestion should not ignore visualization and examples.
No, it's not a requirement, but is the suggestion advice to "DO THIS" to make your suggestions heard, more than a "DON'T DO THIS" ? For a developer, It depends on how well one might wish to convince for support of an idea, or it may be necessary to reduce the complexity of the problem. Who is the target audience the suggested idea is selling to? Probably developers.
Who is the someone who will ask in a blur of text? Pictures draw the eye and interest.
Images + examples augmenting words help developers and others understand. They garner early interest. Suggestions grow and mature over time, and any examples help the maturing.
Examples and illustrations help flesh out test cases, and they detail use cases in the development of ideas. They also help organize ideas, organize work and draft art. Many experienced developers are highly skilled with interpreting anything from formal UML class diagrams to very vague mind-maps on napkins.
It doesn't require formal diagramming or perfect test cases.
Illustrations like UML or use cases tell a lot. For an expert shell AI, I might certainly chart the autonomous behaviors in an ontology and generate the prototyping java code. Behaviors are especially amenable to diagrams.
At the extreme, I couldn't imagine explaining the java profiler and garbage collection, nor explain 3D code concepts in a game engine, nor design an entity-relationship/key-value diagram, nor expose an api (xsd) , nor even design a new type of mob or block without using a illustration or example. Anything that helps a person communicate with a potential developer or other person is useful. Most developers use illustrations (from napkins to model driven architecture techniques). The earlier the idea this visualized, the more likely it is to catch attention.
Overall, the discipline of drawing out a concept is likely to improve the suggestion wording also as most people write explanations to their diagram or example. Those not experienced in development can gain support from implementers by illustrating. (Feynman diagrams come to mind or Tufte's book Beautiful Evidence.)
Graphics and examples are critical in professional proposal writing. Graphics, illustrations, diagrams and examples tell a story that a developer can realize.

I never said anything about Herobrine being loved, and it depends when you suggest a natural disaster. Overpowered attack and/or terrain damage is guaranteed to get you minimal support, but if you make the natural disaster idea more balanced and overall more well-thought out, you will get dozens, hundreds, possibly thousands of supporters!

You still made the claim that me putting hated suggestions in the guide made them hated. Which would not be possible because that section hasn't even been out long enough to make that kind of an impact. Even some of what's mentioned in the guide has me going "okay, not ALL of these kind of suggestions are bad" because some of the inferior ones can still be made superior by the right suggesters. A good deal of them still reach the front page with over 200 posts.

Minecraft is not medieval-themed!!! As a matter of fact, it doesn't have a set time. And when and WHY did putting reponses in the quote, especially long ones, become a trend in the Suggestions? It's rather inconvenient, mainly since the OP has to gather your quote up manually. Avatar made by Endergirl!
Videos.
Yes, the most horrifying nightmare of any program EVER! Okay, maybe Roblox but those are saved on you computer, but when they state "You can watch 'em in game!" Makes my head spell "WHAT?!" and makes my hands spell "Lag because 'You can watch 'em in game!'".
I like Video games, such as Pokemon and animal crossing. My avatar is Villager, possible reference to the Akia Village?

My bad on the "perks" thing. I actually meant to say something else the first time around and not "perks". But still, if Mojang were to add Starbucks franchises into the game, and let's just assume they did add new stuff to the game. You would still find them to be ridiculous add, would you not?
Let me shrink down the context of that statement for just a moment here. If ANY idea in the world added something interesting/meaningful to Minecraft, is the idea automatically overall good? Why is this text bold green? You'll find out why.
Dude, come on now. The definition - I'm sorry - a definition of the word "theme" is as follows -- "the subject of a talk, a piece of writing, a person's thoughts, or an exhibition; a topic."
Who's to say Mario and Minecraft haven't created/have their own themes? You? You can slice this any way you want, but I can promise you if you even heard "Super Mario theme", you'd be thinking of many things that make up the fabric of those games.
It's also a bit depressing that it had to be mentioned a few times that you haven't replied to my previous post for you to actually do so. All I ask is that you answer the bold green text and I think this argument will be a lot simpler for both of us.
Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.

You saying "these weren't hated until they were on the guide" was something you pulled out of nowhere. I wouldn't make up a topic and then put it on that part of the guide for no reason.
And I'm still more experienced with what's been happening on this forum than you have. Despite all the rants and mocking misspellings in that guide, it's more or less been shaped by the community.
If you're so interested, how about you do the searching yourself? Had you done that, you might understand why some of that stuff made it on the guide?
The Unofficial Suggestion Guide - Everything you need to know to not make goofy mistakes in a suggestion! Honestly though, you should really go there.
Guys remember when people would make threads about Herobrine and natural disasters, and everyone would support those ideas with gumdrop smiles? But as soon as they were added in this guide, we were programmed to hate those things? Remember that you guys?!

Curse PremiumI would not concur. What convinces you that using images and examples to persuade and communicate doesn't work and is mostly pointless? Winning the competition of a proposal-suggestion should not ignore visualization and examples.
No, it's not a requirement, but is the suggestion advice to "DO THIS" to make your suggestions heard, more than a "DON'T DO THIS" ? For a developer, It depends on how well one might wish to convince for support of an idea, or it may be necessary to reduce the complexity of the problem. Who is the target audience the suggested idea is selling to? Probably developers.
Who is the someone who will ask in a blur of text? Pictures draw the eye and interest.
Images + examples augmenting words help developers and others understand. They garner early interest. Suggestions grow and mature over time, and any examples help the maturing.
Examples and illustrations help flesh out test cases, and they detail use cases in the development of ideas. They also help organize ideas, organize work and draft art. Many experienced developers are highly skilled with interpreting anything from formal UML class diagrams to very vague mind-maps on napkins.
It doesn't require formal diagramming or perfect test cases.
Illustrations like UML or use cases tell a lot. For an expert shell AI, I might certainly chart the autonomous behaviors in an ontology and generate the prototyping java code. Behaviors are especially amenable to diagrams.
At the extreme, I couldn't imagine explaining the java profiler and garbage collection, nor explain 3D code concepts in a game engine, nor design an entity-relationship/key-value diagram, nor expose an api (xsd) , nor even design a new type of mob or block without using a illustration or example. Anything that helps a person communicate with a potential developer or other person is useful. Most developers use illustrations (from napkins to model driven architecture techniques). The earlier the idea this visualized, the more likely it is to catch attention.
Overall, the discipline of drawing out a concept is likely to improve the suggestion wording also as most people write explanations to their diagram or example. Those not experienced in development can gain support from implementers by illustrating. (Feynman diagrams come to mind or Tufte's book Beautiful Evidence.)
Graphics and examples are critical in professional proposal writing. Graphics, illustrations, diagrams and examples tell a story that a developer can realize.
Writes the CommandRunnerMod which gives the executefile command to read commands from a file. http://mods.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/246088-commandrunnermod
Largest file loaded is 90K commands from a command_block.
Lasted Updated Aug 7 2016 ... 1.9 to 1.10.2 Also the BlockDumpMod gives blockdump command which writes blocks to a text file as execute setblock commands or gives a report.

It's also been shaped by you deciding whether to put the ideas for the guide in, or not. Also, while you have been here longer than I have, that still doesn't change the fact that I've been around long enough to get a decent understanding of MCF.
If you're so interested, how about you do the searching yourself? Had you done that, you might understand why some of that stuff made it on the guide?
Yes, I have done searching.

I never said anything about Herobrine being loved, and it depends when you suggest a natural disaster. Overpowered attack and/or terrain damage is guaranteed to get you minimal support, but if you make the natural disaster idea more balanced and overall more well-thought out, you will get dozens, hundreds, possibly thousands of supporters!

You still made the claim that me putting hated suggestions in the guide made them hated. Which would not be possible because that section hasn't even been out long enough to make that kind of an impact. Even some of what's mentioned in the guide has me going "okay, not ALL of these kind of suggestions are bad" because some of the inferior ones can still be made superior by the right suggesters. A good deal of them still reach the front page with over 200 posts.
