Here is an idea....

[CEdwardsUN5MX]

Instead of letting ideas from people who have paid to use the software, simply languish on the ideas forum for years as they 'gain support', introduce a sweeping new 'rule' that will see anything more than 10 years old, simply swept away.

Justify this with wishy-washy statements like how it is to 'keep our community efficient and up to date'.

That way, the people who are repeatedly finding themselves saying 'this idea has been around for more than 10 years, why isn't it implemented yet', won't be able to see that old idea, and all the votes for that idea, will also be swept away as well.

Also, keep the announcement under wraps, allow very little comment about it before shutting comments down completely, but do ensure to pretend you 'understand the concerns and questions raised' while dismissing them entirely.

Anyway, this is another idea, one I guess that won't have long to gather dust...or for Autodesk to decide the rule gets to be adjusted to 9 years, 8 years, 7 years...as those tedious 'ideas' simply don't get implemented, they get erased instead (no body, no crime).

PS: Anyone designed a 'Ministry for Truth' facility lately?

Revit Ideas Portal is not 10 years old. But, since december 2024 in all the Autodesk Forums (including Ideas Portals), post older than 10 years are being archived:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/community-announcements/community-content-archiving-announcement-and-...

...So, I think this idea could be marked as Implemented.

You understand I was being sarcastic.

Right?

Pure Wokeism,

This is the best attempt to shut down the rebellions?

The dark mode rebellion

The Houdini cursor issue on the forum
The most "dumb," the arguments on the rank system

It shall not stand, and the old conversations will live on...

[CEdwardsUN5MX]

If you strike these conversations down, they shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

"Calling all rebellionists from across the globe."

"It's time..."
