| Some people think that putting 'Petition' would make more people view their post. Also, what is the use of a petition with a hundred signatures? |

Why isn't "Dumb, completely stupid ideas" on the WNTS?
Because this would fall into that. |

Because saying 'dumb' makes me dumb. Indeed.
Petition is a form of gathering support, practically everything in the S&I forum is a petition, because people 'sign' it and show their support by saying 'Support'.
And putting petition is acknowledging that... Okeydokey?
And you can't just WNTS because people think that saying a word will make others view their post -.- |

"Because saying 'dumb' makes me dumb. Indeed." True
"Petition is a form of gathering support, practically everything in the S&I forum is a petition, because people 'sign' it and show their support by saying 'Support'." Petitions are just written to make people think that the staff are more likely to see it
"And putting petition is acknowledging that... Okeydokey?" Petitions are just written to make people think that the staff are more likely to see it
"And you can't just WNTS because people think that saying a word will make others view their post -.-" Well people would still tell them it's WNTS |

| It's not. It's a suggestion to add petitions to the WNTS. |

Like billy said "Petition is a form of gathering support, practically everything in the S&I forum is a petition, because people 'sign' it and show their support by saying 'Support'" This makes this a petition w/o the [Petition] tacked on the title.

What does it mean when you sign something? That you're showing support. Get this many 'supports' and you're golden.
Well, since you can't literally sign something... You log into your account, post a support with your name included and everything!
It is signing, pretty much. |

It works all the time.
You guys aren't seeing it.
Google's definition of PETITION:
a written request, typically one signed by many people, appealing to authority with respect to a particular cause
make or present a formal request to (an authority) with respect to a particular cause
========================
See that? "A written request" not something that has the "[Petition]" tacked onto it. "Typically" signed by many people, and I'll tell you this: people writing 'support' on their account (Guess what guys, username is like a name! You're practically signing it when you say support, if you want to say all petitions require names)
"appealing to authority with respect to a particular cause"
meaning you'd like something to happen...
Oh remind you of anything?
That's right! You're petitioning now to have this supported! And every single threat in S&I is a written request asking 'authorities' (ROBLOX) for a ... thing (Like WNTS Petitions) and you're asking many people to show their support, AKA Write on their accounts (name) that they support you.
Do you see now? |

@Dark
Lowering Price Floors - Worked
Group Shops - Worked
Group Currencies - Worked
Personal Servers- Worked /VIP Servers
Game Gear - Worked
etc, etc
Dark, when each of those ideas came out, the people asked for others support. Do you know what a petition is? Asking for support. If enough people want it, the devs are going to look at it.
And enough people wanted lower prices floors, group shops, currencies, personal servers, game gear, universes, etc, etc. Those ideas came out multiple times and many people signed them, by saying 'support'
What about this is hard for you to get? |

@BilltheTeddyBear
is correct (And not just because we share names as Bill)
Petitioning is asking for support for written requests and that's exactly what's going on in the Suggestions & Ideas forum. |

@Bill You don't seem to get it
I named petitions that were asking to remove an update.
And those stuff that worked weren't petitions.
All the petitions regarding the price floor wanted it removed. It was criticized so hard they lowered it. |

Dark,
everything you listed is a WNTS thing (Undoing massive updates)
of course they never would have worked.
And they were petitions, they just didn't tack "Petition" to the name.
Weren't they asking for support from other people, if you get enough of us threatening ROBLOX that they'd leave and all that that ROBLOX would get a bit nervous? ROBLOX wants the money, that's what they were in this for.
And you proved my point... it worked a bit because enough people wanted it and supported all those petitions for it. |

Petitions are effectively spam at some point.
"Add your name below if you agree! -nubop - - - " Fill that with an entire thread while it keeps on growing is just a soreness to the eye.
Also, this is not a petition. This is a forum for open discussion about an issue, specifically whether petitions are of any use here.. You don't get to do that with a signature.

Then let's remove this S&I forum. It's all spam, after all.
----
And what don't you understand? Petitioning is asking people to support an idea you have, so if you get enough people that want it, it has a chance at happening
Tell me how that is completely unlike the S&I forum and this very thread? |
