Purpose of AB Suggestions

[Coldicote]

Dear Ed,
How is AB Suggestions really meant to be used? Should it be to submit suggestions to you for new topics, sections, pink postings, etc. I recently posted an item about factory farming without really knowing what to expect. It seems to be attracting comments and discussion like any other section. Is it in the right place?

When you go into the "AB Suggestions" topic, at the top is an explanation of its purpose.

Thank you SteveD. I have read it, which made me wonder why it is more like a forum with items posted there just being used for comments and discussion like any other part of AB. Perhaps I should have posted my item under animals and nature.

Hi Coldicote, I agree with you ...

I did find this 'locked' pronouncement on the subject ....

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/AB-Suggestions/ Question295509.html

[ummmm]

It's the Ed/Techs that keep moving stuff here. Half the question were originally in B&S.....

Just put up a Cat for moved threads that belong nowhere.

[lector]

if that is the case ummmm ....

very confusing when the last Editorial pronouncement was -

�Please note that this category is only for AB Suggestions. If AB users continue to submit postings that are not relevant to this section, they will be potentially banned from the AnswerBank.�

I suggest that the current Editorial team clarify .... soon

[ummmm]

I agree.....

There are six threads on this page alone that have been moved from B&S......I'm sure there are lot's more on page 2. Then there's the ones that have been banned.

Dear Ed - again!
May I suggest please that any posting on AB Suggestions shows simply an acknowledgement from you, with no further comments or discussion about it under this heading. Hopefully you will have taken the item on board to consider whether to use it in some context.
