Check out that super descriptive thread title that tells you exactly what this thread is about ^^^
Oh, that's right - it tells you absolutely nothing at all.
So, illiterate fools who think that simply telling CCP or devs or anyone to read your thread in the title will actually get them to read your nonsense and drivel - YOU ARE WRONG.
Likelihood is that at least someone from CCP will read it anyway because many of the devs lurk the forums and pretty much every single thread ever is at least given a cursory glance. If your thread is dumb or pointless, it won't get any more attention than that, even if you've said DEAR CCP in the title.
You know what will get the devs' attentions? Well thought out, well articulated, well presented threads - and that includes the title! In your thread titles put something that actually describes your thread! Is that really that hard to comprehend? In the bugs section of the forums CCP already knows threads are generally about bugs, so naming your thread there BUGS is pointless and useless. Same goes for the feedback forum. Or the CPM. It's like posting in General Discussion a thread titled DISCUSSION.
If you want anything you say to be taken seriously, you're going to at least need to have the ability to aptly title your thread, otherwise you're just wasting space on this forum.

...but it worked on me...
I think a, "CCP READ ME NOOOWW" - Schwarzenegger, gets the attention but lacks any grace or artful continuity to hold the presence of an esteemed developer. And thus won't get any feedback or reposition from them or the CPM likewise.

There's this neat little function that let's you mouse over a thread title and see the first few lines of a post. I use it all the time. That said, I agree with you for the most part. Subjects like "I DEMAND SOMEONE FROM CCP OR A GM TO READ THIS" is pretty hard to take seriously. Especially when the post ends up just being a rant. |

Actually based on past experience the devs look for the softball joke threads so they can stay present without having to answer hard question.
So if you want a blue tag in your thread its probably best to title it something along the lines of "Smoking mushrooms I liekz! Logibro iz so cool! Baconslurpface knibbit:(" |

Writing well-thought out, reasoned posts about potential changes to the game can be a little disheartening, because there's never any indication that the devs have even seen it, and the community can't do anything about it other than find faults.
It would be nice to have blue tags simply saying "interesting ideas, tagging for further consideration". No endorsement, no commitment, not even saying whether they agree or disagree, but a simple acknowledgement that the post is considered "non-garbage" by the devs.
