Why doesn't CCP just add on a "viewed by" mini tag on thread names? For example each thread could have three dark circles on the upper right hand side of the link to that thread. If a CCP dev clicks on that thread to read or do whatever, that bubble will forever be lit up blue to prove that at some point a Dev DID go inside and read the thread. If a GM goes to read the thread, one bubble will turn red, forever symbolizing the fact that a GM went to read that thread. If a bubble turns white then..... guess what! A member of the CPM looked at the thread! If all three are lit up, then all three types of readers read the thread at some point!

This would at-least make people think that "hey the devs do look at what were saying"

Lol, you could even have it so that a number pops up above each bubble per time a person from one of the three above mentioned parties clicked on that particular thread.

Ultimately this would show us, the "testers" whats getting the most attention, and help clear up misconceptions that CCP "isn't listening" or whatever people like to think these days. A dumb and pointless idea? Maybe.... but I like typing on these forums anyway!

And just in case this wasn't clear.... the normal tags would still pop up if a dev decided to "respond" to a post. So yeah, theres that too! ha! forget you science!

Wheres the proof that every single thread is read though??? Because he said so? I call that exaggeration, this feature would show us what realllllyyyyyyyy get looked at.

+1 good idea but wrong section yes?

Would be cool, but then you would just have devs logging off so they could secretly read threads without others knowing about it (plausible deniability ).

What? I so did not read your thread about vehicles!

After reading the Community Management Report...

Lets just say I feel outclassed on reading the entire forums.

Seems petty and random and like all it would accomplish is making troll threads more popular, since a dev can't really know how a thread is going to turn out until actually taking a look at it.

Well the report I get to see every week hits the nail just about, then throws graphs in it, gives threads ratings, posts ratings, charts, clouds, subjects, replies and all sorts of things.

It does highly reflect however that ****posting and poor posting habits is very harmful on 'flow through' to the developers.

In theory, it would be pointless to have a "viewed by" mini tag because every thread would have it. In theory of course.

No other game forum has "viewed by dev" tag. Not even stupid World of Warcraft. CCP reads everything and they've proven it multiple times.

No other game forum gives you weekly updates saying "look dudes, we are reading your whining".

No other game forum has so many freakin' dev blogs and feedback addressing like DUST.

No other game forum listens more to the player feedback and addresses issues as soon as possible.

And yet, some people come here "hurr durr ccp communicate plx more wtf where iz bug fixez releaze thingz fasturr"... :D

Ah the forums.

Hey man, Mr CPM above me said that they do so that's good enough for me. I honestly never doubted that they look at "most" of the threads, but "in theory" (according to Mr Wolf) they look at pretty much EVERY thread. Which is crazy because of the amount of BS posts that come through here. The only reason i would want a feature like this is so that people understand the devs do look at these posts, OR, at the very least they know WHICH posts the devs look at. Either way its meh....
