@Dev's/Moderators - Any chance of getting a sticky Wish List/Request thread?
Any chance of getting a sticky wish list/request thread, purely for requests and wish list items, but not discussions?
It would be nice to have a spot to throw requests, especially smaller/QOL type stuff, without creating a new thread every time.

Similar things have been suggested many times before (one example) and the usual responses are generally along these lines:
What happens if other people think a suggestion is a backward step or doesn't suit their personal playstyles?
How and with what justification would you stop other people from discussing each topic to death, which is often the case now?
Devs have their own specific areas of expertise, do you expect every dev to follow it and read every new post?
How would devs ask for additional information or evidence?
What level and detail of additional dev feedback are you expecting to receive in it or from it?
Who do you see coordinating it since it would need a dev coordinator to flag up and input issues and jobs correctly to the dev system?
Who do you see moderating its use - since it may well attract trolls and pranksters?
What would it actually add compared to the current ability to post issue reports and suggestions?

Just remove posts that don't follow a simple set of guidelines set forth in the original post. And I don't expect any devs to look or follow it. It's there so they can see player requests if they want to. If they want to reach out for more info, they certainly could, I also don't expect any flags or anything either. It's just a place to consolidate playerbase ideas in a concise/clear fashion. And it would add a place where ideas can be found. Tons of wishes and requests and ideas are posted, some might get read, some might get buried in the forum before they have a chance to. This would provide an easy spot to consolidate them so they can be found easier if someone wanted to.
I mean, yeah, i could just post a thread every time I have a thought of something that could make the game better...Just seems like a there should/could be a better way to get new ideas to the people that can use them. If a sticky thread isn't the right way, then what is another way... because I don't think the current system is any kind of efficient.

If you have ideas for the current or future games, there's a currently little-used forum just for that. [L3+] Ideas. Just be sure to read and follow the rules, which are much stricter than for the general forums.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

In other words, there is no reason for one thread here when there is already a whole Forum for the purpose.
@grapedog: We surely can appreciate that the Fora admins fulfilled your request before you even made it.
But, why request what one already has ...
... if there were one sticky thread (with strict, enforced rules), do you expect that no regular "Wishlist" shall pop in?

I don't see it in the board index either.

You need to be registered as a Level 3 or higher forum user as the forum name implies. To become level 3, click on your username at the top right on the forum, User Control Panel, Egosoft Settings, Newsletter & DevNet, and fill in your valid name, address and phone number details. These should be verifiable and only yourself and Egosoft System Admins (ie not the volunteer forum officials) can see them. Hopefully that should then allow you to access the L3+ forums.
