I will suggest posts which earn my respect too. But I am more like to hunt down discussions. When it's too much, suggestions can be really annoying.

It's a move I welcome. I was in favour of it from when I joined so I think it is a great progressive step for the site. This was the first page to be suggested to me since the changes were implemented. Thanks for that.

It's a move I am not in favor of because I think it will take more time to find something I want to read.

I have only used the suggest feature once, and never used it again. I just didn't want to spam others by sending one suggestion after another, which some did. I would end up getting several suggestions from one person, so the fact they have changed it now, will make it much better. We won't be getting suggestions from the same person over and over that way. This is a welcome change.

@DnkHrth It did, when I would get several from one person. I usually just ignored them too, as that was considered spamming in my book. I only suggested one discussion, and that was it, and I didn't choose that many to send it to either. I am really happy that the decision was made not to suggest our own, as we won't get oodles now, and that is fine with me.

@Tita417 Of course, you tag a person by putting an "@" sign before their username, just like I am mentioning you here and that's how you got the notification that "@Jlyn10 mentioned you in a comment" in this discussion.

I never really used the suggest button so it's not going to affect me much but it's disappointing that it was necessary. That means a lot of people were obviously abusing it.

I'd been receiving suggestions last Oct. 8, when I started having friends here. I found it ok tho' as it sort of gave me a prompter re, my friend's latest write-up. I saw nothing wrong in it, except when I received "a lot" from just a few. So, my stand is: to give a minimum of to be suggested posts (1 or 2, in a day). Anyway, the chance is gone. Thank you.

Good call KnehKnah. On another site that is the option, you may only do 3 discussions per day, but you do have that option.

We all have our own ways of reacting for this change. But it is a rule. So whether we liked it or not, I guess we all have to follow that. (No offence)
