I watched and have read all most recent FR's and response posts and could possibly have a idea for you, that might take the FR forum to a different level.

Some if not all of us know the timeframe and "will" of Invelos vs any and all FR's posted!
I, like many other have wishes of different kinds (what ever they may be) for any of the products produced by Invelos. Yet, we who post FR's ONLY get feedback from OTHER users because of timeframe and "will" of Invelos. I think this is a most regretably state, so I have an idea...

Here is the Feature Request:
I propose an icon image attached to the original post only. It (the icon) serves as an indicator interface for Mr Cole(possibly Mrs Cole) to the community or more to the point to the OP and users interested in posting a response to the OP.
The icon itself could be any of the below:
- a dimmed icon = Invelos has not read the FR.
- a icon with an "R" letter = Invelos has read the FR and point out it has been asked before (re-occurring FR).
- a icon with an ":thumbup/down:" smilie (or something similar) = Invelos has read the FR and graded it. Beyond that it (the OP's post), was graded by Invelos, it should not be enterpreted as it (the FR) would be implemented.

I am guessing:
- Invelos would not be penalized with too much time once it (the FR) is implemented. All (Mr Cole) would need to do is to grade the FR and click a button. No time consuming text messages or spoken opinions at all. Just the grade.

Nice idea...

... but I agree to goblinsdoitall that the implementation is pretty unlikely.

Really important postings (e.g. status reports concerning beta versions...) from Ken Cole should be placed in the "General: Announcements" anyway. AFAIR it's not possible to post in this forum to keep it clear!

To be up to date about this you could subscribe this forum.

Maybe "Profiler Plus" will have the requested feature...

Thanks all for replies and votes!

No, a tool like this would not guarantie anything!
Granted, this FR like 99,9% of all FR's will probably not see the light of day.
...but if it where...
When a really good FR comes in and if it was graded with a:
- positiv grade from Invelos, would that not be fun, Giga?
- negativ grade from Invelos, that would be it, discussion over, done.

Anyway... it was just an idea...

Thanks for your time.

1st) this the wrong thread
2nd) this is the wrong forum
like that?
Who is going to police that? What is on topic and what is not? This is not a debate club.

Ironically, this often leads to comments like “stick to the subject” or “answer the question,” which are themselves meta-discussion, though of a simple variety

Giga:

I think we take dav4is' advice. Don't feed the trolls.

Never mind, i was going to add something for dav4is' brilliant plan to reduce participation in these forums to near zero, but it's not worth it.

I just want to add. I enjoy a nice cup of coffee when I browse the forums in the morning. 

coffee, it is nearly teatime

We better be careful, we are deviating from dav4is' newest Rule. Maybe he should change his name to something like Hugo Chavez.

I can see that you don't understand the finer subtleties of a proposal.
A proposal is a suggestion put forward for consideration.
It is not a demand.
It is not reality until implemented.

Do you often have these difficulties distinguishing suggestion from reality?

Of course, in a more sinister vein, if you refer to it in the way that you did, it becomes easier to later refer to it as a demand. Such distortions are a type of fallacy, an old debater's trick. The Greeks had a name for it that I have forgotten. 

And name-calling is also an old debater's trick.
