I intend on eventually sticky-ing this topic once some consensus is made for these guidelines.

I'd like to see members making requests adhering to these following general guidelines:



At the moment, some people don't bother with these things which I thought were pretty sensible. I think these guidelines would make the forum a lot more organised and easier to look through.
I've tidied up most of the "my request" threads, but I don't think I'll split multi-requests into seperate topics.

Mods/peppy/anyone else, thoughts or amendments on this?

Uh, yeah, that too! I think most requests are already like that (no unsubstantiated requests so far, I think) but definitely should be included in guidelines

I'd probably add a line saying "search the forum for your request quite thoroughly before making a new post". We still get quite a few duplicate requests. If you have a request that already has a post, bump it and add whatever is missing or different from the original request.

What about how important you value the request (priority)?

When requesting a feature, sometimes it's just an "it would be nice if...", other times it's "I think osu! would be much better if..." etc.

While it might seem superfluous other users reading the request might offer their empathies as well to help gauge how much push there is for a feature.

Kinda like ranking a feature? That could be quite cool too.

Made the font larger (since people obviously fail to read [provided they even LOOK at this thread...]) and removed the planned features list since it's waaaaaaaay outdated.

Seems like you accidentally changed it to regular topic too, so i fixed that.
