All in all, good post, but I disagree with it. OH NO WHAT DO WE DO? MAYBE JUST MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES?!

Support…
These are some very good ideas!
However I think it's fine to say support/no support but it should just be a way to convey your opinion it should not have the meaning and value it seems to have now, as you should also state what you like, what you don't and what could be improved.

Exactly. There's nothing wrong with Support or No Support in itself, the problem is that no one posts a reason as to why they are giving support or not. Just posting No Support can make a user confused, and feel like his opinion doesn't exactly matter.

The simplest solution to the problem is just to stop using support/no support.

I think, for stop the “support/no support”, it should be buttons “Support” and “No support” in the suggestion forum. Like this,the posts in the forum are here just for make the suggestion better.

It should just be like saying “I like this idea…” Or “I don't like this idea…” Some people might just want to state their opinion as well.
But it should not be something expected like it is now.

Point one: Then try to improve the suggestion, don't just turn it down without a second thought.
Point two: If a suggestion has been rejected, then what is the point of posting on the thread in the first place? Is it to make the person who suggested the suggestion feel bad?

Then try and politely explain your opinion and either post the workaround or suggest something to improve the block.
There's no need to be rude.

When there's a workaround, usually it's a semi-support for me, not no support.

I think support/no support is the norm because it's short and easy to type.

And now onto the topic of “Semi-Supports”, in my personal opinion these are both the best and the worst of Support and No Support, the best because they are usually the only kind that people actually give a reason for. And the worst because they don't really add anything to the conversation.

Saying “Support” or “No Support” as well as stating your reasons is just as easy as saying “I like this idea because etc., etc.” or “I don't like this idea because etc., etc.”. No Support is actually, in my personal opinion, a bit rude.

Ah. Yep. Those posts that just say “Support/Semi/No Support” without any reasoning whatsoever because “they don't have the time”. At least add an extra sentence or two?

Usually when I don't agree with a suggestion, I avoid saying “I don't like this idea” because it's kinda rude and I would not enjoy getting that feedback if I had made the suggestion.

I agree with you. It would be better to say, “This is a good idea, but you could make it even better by…” Try to keep a positive attitude when on the Suggestions forum.

Well you should always try to start with a positive and then a negative. Even if you like it you should always try and give constructive criticism otherwise the idea would never be improved and refined. However it should still be a positive comment.

You should envelope a negative in a positive.
