Rules for the "Ask SquareEnix" section.

Re: Rules for the "Ask SquareEnix" section.

I recall an announcement about the first set of questions being sent to SE. Does that mean none of the questions submitted since then have been considered "meaty enough" to be worth submitting? Or are they getting submitted without announcements being made about it?

There haven't been enough meaningful questions since the beginning of the year (some of them have since been putatively answered by update changes in any case).

To be serious, though, I just talked to PiNG via IM and he said he'd touch base with the Square-Enix folks and see where our request ended up, and if we can get an update.

Re: Rules for the "Ask SquareEnix" section.

Honestly, given the fact that hardly anyone actually asks INTERESTING QUESTIONS anymore, if they even bother ASKING AT ALL, this forum is more of a 'rant' forum. But honestly, compared to actually having a rant forum, this is fine.

I know I haven't bothered asking a new question in this forum (interesting or otherwise) in a long time since there doesn't appear to be any chance of getting a response from SE.

When I ask a question, I expect some sort of answer. If I post a rant or a suggestion, I don't care whether it gets a response. No wonder there are more rants and suggestions posted here rather than "interesting questions."

We DO actually get responses, when there's actually enough meaty questions to submit.

Which begs the question: "Why is this forum's Question/Suggestion sub forum so desolate?"

This isn't the only one, but others seem to be thriving.

on the other hand, I'm not so sure it's that big a deal.

There's a way to fix that, people pointed it out to me. :P

Murphie has turned a new leaf (is that the expression?), and obviously is striving to be nicer to people. If you have him filtered, I'd suggest unfiltering for a pleasant surprise--just don't bait/test him. >_>

Kudos to Murphie, BTW.

I don't even know how I became a part of this conversation. ><;

I see both sides, btw. Itazura has a valid point, but on the other hand, I'm not so sure it's that big a deal.

Re: Rules for the &quot;Ask SquareEnix&quot; section.

Don't think one time sending an e-mail to the wrong people who aren't going to answer the those questions counts for anything, but you're entitled to your interpretation.

I mean, I can sent questions like those posted here to S-E on its web forms. That's be just about as useful as posting questions to S-E here.

* * *

It's dishonest to have this sub-forum here, misleading people into thinking S-E would answer the questions here because they are posted here.

Of course, if anyone posting here thinking S-E would answer it, it'd be someone fairly dense in the head or new to the site. Don't really care about the dense people, but it's up to the admin/moderator team on whether to fool the newbies or not.

*shrug* Just recommending being more honest/nicer...

iirc, the former was indeed sent. as for the latter...

[ItazuraNhomango]

Re: Rules for the &quot;Ask SquareEnix&quot; section.

Seriously, at least acknowledge that there's no question sent to S-E and no hope of response. Or, show proof otherwise.

Actually we did get a response to the first set of questions we submitted.

You must have missed it.

Re: Rules for the &quot;Ask SquareEnix&quot; section.

Why not lock the actual thread with the questions and open a thread for proposed questions to SE. Then add a poll or something to each question and the community gets to vote as to weather or not the question gets asked?

I've noticed a number of people just like to spam this forum with useless questions or phrase thier suggestion as a question and just spam it up here. Could be solved if the only people allowed to post here were the Super Moderators and they could pull questions that have a winning count from the Question Disscussion thread.

Just a suggestion.

.... and at least 7 of us would just flame each other. :o

That would be highly entertaining.

Re: Rules for the &quot;Ask SquareEnix&quot; section.

If only there was a way to force people to pass a test on the subject before they could post here.

there'd be like 15 of us.... and at least 7 of us would just flame each other. :o
