Wow, you really are new to the game as well as the forums, welcome!! And kudos for bringing up a subject many of us have just grumbled about and learned to live with instead of trying to make constructive suggestions for change.
We've recently had some changes in forum management staff and one thing they're trying to do is make this 'Ideas and Suggestions' portion of the forum a more viable one for getting player generated ideas that have sufficient community support to the developers. Up until now, this section has mostly been a discussion of ideas, with the path to developers being via the beta forum with its rules for discussions, polls and submission. So part of what you're seeing in this thread is growing pains of how to make this all work. Congrats at being the first idea to progress this far! Yesterday
@Xelenia posted a new Guide for this forum at:
https://us.forum.elvenar.com/index.php?threads/ideas-and-suggestion-forum-guide.22171/ that might help explain things a bit.
Where we're at now (I think, lol!) is seeing that there is community consensus around the idea of reducing timers by an hour or so. Now we're trying to figure out how to get this into the form of a poll so even folks who don't comment can vote on the idea. Obviously, the poll needs to link to the discussion, but we're thinking the first post in the discussion should incorporate a summary of how we got to the poll (started out with idea for timer instants, ended up at time reduction) since many posters won't read past that. That can be done by either the OP (you) editing the first post or by someone starting a new thread in cases where the OP goes MIA, but the idea has community support. I'm not good at that summarizing part but maybe
@Ashrem @Yogi Dave or
@Xelenia can help you with that.
