suggestions that will never happen

[denise]

I'm looking to do a dw_biz post about "suggestions that will never happen" that we can then link to from dw_suggestions and the suggestions generator: things that we've been asked for multiple times that we can explain our reasoning on why they won't happen, so people can know to stop asking.

So, what are the suggestions you guys keep seeing that we've decided against in the past? Off the top of my head, I can think of "more userpics", "allow userpics to be hosted off-site", "let us just buy X paid account feature, not the whole paid account" (specifically, a-la-carte userpics), and "make X feature free for everyone". I'm sure there are others, though; what am I forgetting?

Someone is more likely to suggest something like "Allow me to put ads from X service on my journal (so I can profit from it)".

Sadly enough.... I couldn't object to this on a policy level. If it's stuck on THEIR DW account only, whodafrack cares.
Making ads system wide would just break Rah tho, so no.

If it were to happen, it would probably have to be a paid account only feature (no getting free accounts and then using them to profit at DW's expense), and the Terms of Service may have something to say about it as well.
