Lets stop making suggestions about every little thing.
or
The better suggestion let us actually incorporate the don't be an ass rule, rather than having the rule and not using it.

Why be close minded on something that could improve the league? If there's little to no additional effort needed, then why not consider it?
But I'd agree on putting use to the "don't be an ass rule".

The problem isn't that we have suggestions - it's that we have suggestions in these massive posts that usually devolve into one point being hammered ad nauseum. Rather than just going with the flow and enjoying things, we are constantly looking for something to nitpick.
When there is a clear problem and there is an idea for a solution - post it. That's how it should go. Instead we have people looking to find problems and, low and behold, they find them.

I agree with this completely. If you are going to bring something up that is a problem, put together a solution to your perceived problem. I think too many times we have small issues that are made into bigger problems than they truly are. So that creates a boy that cried wolf feeling for some. However, with recent happenings, I doubt we will see much of this anymore.
