Deleting Ideas

I posted several ideas recently. Some of them were kept while a few got deleted.

Ideas are favored based on the votes. The ones that were deleted should not have been since they were good in my view. To me, you don't get to simply delete an idea because you feel like it or don't agree with it. That is not acceptable and it is disrespectful since I put time and thought into them. Due to the cherry picking going on, without informing me as to why my ideas were deleted, I will no longer be providing any further feedback/ideas for phpBB.

Did you check all subsequent pages in open ideas and implemented ideas or only the start page: ideas/

I don't know how many Ideas you have posted but I have just count at least six that are still open.

There's 23 pages of ideas going back 5 years. I don't think any have been deleted.
Please check again.

maybe a problem with the fact that there is no pagination on the index page. I wondered why that is so.

I guess because that's only the top ideas in each section. There's a link on the right of each box to the full listings.

You even made this post in one of your own ideas and the whole thing still isn't deleted:

Please provide further details, i.e. the title of an idea that got deleted. Thanks to "Ideas Bot" always posessing the first post you can't find posts by author there, but this list shows all ideas where you at least replied to.

As lead of the moderation team, I can assure you that it's policy not to delete ideas, certainly not when we "don't feel like it" or disagree.

The only cases when an idea is moved (never fully deleted) is when it's an obvious support request to get something done or fixed to somebody's own board. We then move the topic to the Support forums.

Please do let me know if there are specific ideas that you are missing that you feel have been deleted and I will do my best to hunt them down and see what's happened with them. I dislike cherry picking as much as you do, if not more. The Ideas section is specifically there to see what the community wants and to gather feedback. Which is exactly the reason why it is policy never to touch those topics. ;)

I believe that I was wrong and that all my suggestions are still there. On top of having a bad day (July 2nd), I thought one of them was deleted. Sorry about that.
