Again, just general advice: When you join a new community, lurk, listen, and learn. Get the vibe first before you charge in guns ablazing. Rush in, and you can trip over your own enthusiasm.

The idea thread is where it belongs. Just because less users frequent that section doesn’t mean you should delete it. Guys who are interested in that topic will go there to check. When I want to sell something I post it under ‘Marketplace’ subsection ‘Sales Ads’. Not under Communications, even though more people might read it here.

This particular thread is probably quite useless, but you asked questions and received answers, so up to you if you wanna keep it open.

Before I mark it to be deleted, could someone tell me how bad my jokes/attempts at sarcastic humor were in my original post that started this thread? (I know they weren’t that good.)

And approximately how long will it likely be before it’s taken down?

Comedy is about as subjective as moderator response time.

@Crestin_Enive_Miromme , don’t be discouraged if an idea is rejected, use that as an incentive to continue thinking of ways to help improve the game..

And yes, @Hatch_Nasty is correct, game change ideas should be posted in the ‘Player Features & Ideas’ sub-forum…

The main point of posting ideas for Eve changes in that sub-forum is to receive feedback that will refine the original idea and hopefully make it better…

Basically the feedback replies should reveal any unconsidered / overlooked negative issues in the original idea and provide some positive suggestions to possibly help resolve those issues…

If the original idea is not compatible and can’t be integrated into Eve, then the feedback replies should give reasons due to current game mechanics of why the idea can’t be implemented…

After the original idea is refined with no implementation issues, the idea should then be reposted as a ‘Proposal’ in the [Assembly Hall](https://forums.eveonline.com/c/council-of-stellar-management/assembly-hall/69) sub-forum where players, CSM members and CCP/FC Devs can review it and vote ‘Yea / Nay’ on the proposal…

As for getting the refined ‘Proposal’ noticed and hopefully presented to game Devs, that’s what the CSM as representatives of the playerbase should be doing… Other than a direct message, the best way to notify CSM members is to tag them in the ‘Proposal’ replies…

At least that’s how it use to work… Unfortunately nowadays CSM and CCP/FC Devs rarely interact here in the Eve Online ‘Official’ Forums… It’s probably easier to just tag an ISD member who will hopefully bring it to their attention..

The “Gate To Stain” is probably as close as you’re going to come to something similar happening.

It was a years long campaign by an EVE Online player to add a gate to the Stain region in game.

This is a link to a Google page with info:  
The lowsec gate to Stain was officially added in June 2021, connecting the **Saminer** system (Tash-Murkon lowsec) to the **F7-ICZ** system (Stain NPC nullsec). This addition marked the end of a years-long campaign by the Reddit user **u/StainGuy** , who advocated for the connection since 2009.
