hi, sorry if it's a duplicate, i tried to look if it already got asked but didn't have the time to extensively search through entire forums again this weekend

is it allowed to ask mods for say a link to the older suggestion if your (suggestion) thread was locked and not approved because of being a duplicate?

(because i really searched for one and i couldn't find it)

given the thread is locked that would be via pm or palpad then so it would be as long as they allow these of course!

but i would also understand if they got annoyed at being pestered by everyone whose threads they already had to lock (and they do give the reason too, i would just like to also have the link to the older suggestion)
and im generally not a fan of talking to mods directly (they have better use for their time lol)
so i figured i'd ask first if it's allowed to do that?

(also im sorry if i come across as rude, mean, or passive-aggressive, i don't mean to, im just not very good at talking with people and it's getting late here)

Quote from Suggestion Guide [v. 2.0]There will always be a message; either shiwing that it has been approved [and made public] or an explanation why it has been rejected

I don't know the answer to your question, though.

yes, i saw that, thank you, i even mentioned it in my post, but i was asking if it was allowed to ask the mods for further information past the original rejection message and explanation
(in this case a link to the older suggestion)

Considering this part of the suggestion guide, it doesn't look like mods would be particularly friendly to such queries:

Quote from Suggestion GuideContent - the duplicate
Make sure that no one else has already made a suggestion that is similar [if not identical] to yours. Posting a duplicate will not only lead to an immediate rejection, it will also get you a strike. If you make too many duplicates, you will be temporarily barred from making a suggestion.

Do the research, Mods are not your personal search engine.


Though, honestly, if politely asking if they have a link handy because you couldn't find the original suggestion is not allowed, I'm very disappointed.

mhm, that's exactly my dilemma too (plus somewhat shyness lol), so i thought maybe someone happens to have tried that and knows how they take it and if it's allowed (i mean the thread was locked for a reason, it must be annoying enough already to have to check through every new post in that forum, having people ask and pester after every single one sounds exhausting and very annoying)

i did, before posting my suggestion too
im not trying to use the mods as 'personal search engine' either; i genuinely can't find the older suggestion and i genuinely tried (i went through all 60 pages of a rather generic keyword search (to ensure i'd definitely see it) and some other, more specific ones that would have to show up in a similar suggestion anyways, most of which before i suggested in the first place already (not the entire 60 pages before, i have to admit that, though as i said, the other keywords would have to show up in similar suggestions either way) and again after i heard it was a duplicate after all, and i really, genuinely can't find it, and i don't know what more to do other than actually open every single post in the suggestions forum (including rejected obv) and read those too; i just really genuinely can't find it, but i know the mod did; that's the only reason i want to ask them)

Our moderators are community helpers, thus you can always contact them when you have any questions or problems regarding the site :) Especially when it's a mod-related issue (i.e., a locked thread), they are the one's to contact and they'll surely assist you. As long as you are polite (which definitely seems like you are), you will get the help you are looking for.
The only things that might annoy staff members are unfriendly/impolite requests, like "hey unlock my thread it's not fair".

I'm assuming this is about me, because it's about a suggestion 👀

Honestly, if you're patient and polite about it [as you have been in this thread] and really can't find it, you can always shoot me a PM or a PP to ask for clarification. Most of the time, a simple search drops the results they need on the first page, but that's not always the case. So, if you didn't find it, just shoot me a message!


[If anyone else has the same problem, they can do the same, of course]
