[The List of Suggestions] Please Read BEFORE You Open a New Suggestion!

Oct 28, 2017 01:47 pm

Hi guys! DO NOT VOTE in this thread!

Until the search function is enabled please use this topic to search for suggestions BEFORE you open a new one, otherwise your suggestion will be closed if it is a duplicate.

You've got a great suggestion, but don't know how to check if it has already been opened by someone else? Do this:

First check this topic, use the search function in your browser to find the title or skim over the titles. Sometimes a title is worded in a different way but it is basically the same suggestion. So please make sure not to open a duplicate because it makes everyone confused and the votes are not distributed evenly.
Search the whole forum.

The list will be updated ~~regularly~~; it is a temporary solution. The points increase +1 weekly.

There are already many duplicates, so here is the list of the most popular suggestions according to the number of votes.

Okay so I thought it would be better to keep this thread open (do not vote!!) in order to bring awareness to it so people can post their thoughts, the suggestions I missed to mention etc.

I'm keeping it on hold for now because the admins will probably open the poll when they decide to add a new country to the database (like they did the last time), so I think it's pointless to vote now.

Okay, came here to write a suggestion but it already in the list.

It would be good to see my rewatch episodes are counted. ?

Not to toot my own horn, but the Vietnam Database Suggestion is now like the 3rd most highly voted for item on this list (although it hasn't been updated recently it seems). We are starting to get an active community using it as an alternate forum to talk about Vietnamese dramas, so I suspect it may stay up near the top for a while. It may be worthwhile adding it to the list since it is already starting to become a part of the community. Love all the work here MDL and from the awesome mods, so it would be nice to have this platform to talk about this growing market as well :)
