well, moderator-wise (

it isnt i that said so. i was saying the same thing another person said on another thread like this.
but let us not spam around this tread and stop this. fine with you?
Why are you arguing this idea with something you heard from some guy in another thread? If you want to argue an idea in the suggestions forum use logic or argue with evidence. In other words: Don't attack someone's idea with somebody else's rumor.
And I wasn't attacking you, I was attacking the fact that people throw that stuff out there to argue ideas they don't like. That isn't criticism, that's taking a cheap shot because people who don't know any better will just assume it is true and try to help you bring down the idea, which isn't good for anybody... it's sort of like how people used to accuse each other of ripping in the mod section just to hamper his or her credibility until a mod stepped in and corrected it. If you know for a fact that it would really cause a lot of lag, back it up and you win, but if you just heard it somewhere all you're going to do is convince people who don't know any better that it must indeed cause lag and they'll think it's a bad idea automatically. I know because I used to be like that myself.
Also note that
your post was spam, while mine contained actual criticism, which is entirely legitimate. There's no justification to "moderate" me, and it's rude beside the point that it was off topic. I only brought it up because I happen to focus on the suggestions forum (see my name in the moderator list) and I like to see people critiquing each other in ways that will actually help out the game.
Edit- I just talked to PCJoe about it and there wouldn't seem to be a problem with making it "shiny" unless the team did something drastic to make it that way. It just isn't practical.
