Powder Toy Forums Meta-Suggestion

    I see a lot of posts here, some good, some bad, on what should be added into powder toy. I often see a lot of posts describing elements that are not really bad, just incomplete or not fully formed. So I suggest that this forum should have a type of thread that are marked as such, where people come up with simple concepts for elements in powder toy to be expanded upon by commenters into useful elements without being locked fast for being incomplete. My other suggestion is a pinned thread with a list of elements that have been suggested one too many times, and have already been taken well into consideration by the people making the game, such as stickman healing elements, Moving Solids, Magnets, etc.

    Well, the point of posting feedback threads is that people can improve upon them, and not just say that in it's current state it's bad. Maybe by the end of the thread it will be a really good idea.

    We do have a wiki page with rejected elements, but in general I like to never give a rejection that is final and applies to all future suggestions. Since who knows, maybe someone will suggest DIRT in the future and it will be amazing and be added. I think moving solids are the only rejected elements in your list, but it's still possible we will add those if they are finished :P

    I did not mean rejected, I meant taken into consideration. I consider all elements viable, but a lot of elements have the same concept posted over and over, its not that its a bad idea, its just that its a very well known idea, and it helps no one to suggest it again. Edit: I forgot to mention that I meant the pinned thread for the second suggestion more as a guideline than a rule, an old idea with significant improvement is fine to suggest.
