Yes, the forum is a place to suggest things, but you are abusing it. Suggest a suggestion that is not supposed to be implemented. I told you that this is not a good suggestion.
Suggesting is easy but to comply it is hard.
Yes, you did cover but you did not cover the developers. Who can translate? Use a translator? Why didn't they translate Powder Toy into Japanese, Italian or Russian? They perfer fix some bugs than translating. They perfer fix bugs than doing such things. Why must they listen to you?
You did not cover developers. Did you think of them? You should cover everybody.
I'm more likely to fall on the side of not implementing this.
No matter what the reason is, it's far to complicated for most people to follow through. If at all, it's likely going to lead to more spam. You can't just expect full moderation of that when we have things to do, game development and life. If someone votes in an election, they don't have to give a reason.
Not to mention someone could just use an older version to get around that.
I don't understand how you think I've abused it, but I know I've been thoughtful in responding to other peoples comments. I've not been negative and I've not said anything that is hurtful or insulting. I have treated every persons comments as worthy of a reply and not tried to make them feel as though they should keep their opinons to themself. When you say you have told me it's not a good idea, do you mean that because you don't like I should...what? And I did say that a translation could be asked for in the forum. Many bilingual folks out there. Once translated it would be sticked. Lockheedmartin... OK. I can respect that. And yes, people have lives. (me,too) It would be a shame for anyone to think one dude with bad typing skills was trying screw them over or waste their time. I really just thought... well... I don't know what I was thinking posting something here.
You have to use paragraphs, nobody is going to read that spam.
Formatted it for you:

You're not making TPT better when you suggest things, you're making TPT better when you contribute code.
You should think how long it will take to code and how hard it will be.
Translation: They don't even know we have forums... Probably. You can find a lot of comments by stranger but a post from a stranger happens just sometimes.
Once translated it would be sticked.
That would cause rather a lot of spam.
I've not been negative and I've not said anything that is hurtful or insulting.
You don't get what I mean.
When you say you have told me it's not a good idea, do you mean that because you don't like I should...what?
I didn't say it is a bad idea, but I said this is not good enough to be accepted.
You're abusing it because you still don't understand that this suggestion is going to be ignored.
...
We should remove downvoting.
So, china-richway2, if you dislike the idea, don't bash it to pieces and don't praise it. Act like someone ideally would in a world without a downvoting system. I don't want to see you do this again.
