    I mean, you're splitting hairs here. I don't think the nature of your request substantially changes the work they would have to do to fufill it. Yes, your request was made under the basis of reducing button presses (rather than explicitly to save time), but technically "take all at once" would also save button presses, so they in effect shot down your idea as well even if it isn't exactly the same as what they thought you were saying.

    I also personally don't believe that spamming the board with the same request over and over is going to produce a result. I can certainly tell you that if I was a staff member of a game studio (or even a moderator/community manager) I would ignore someone the more they repeatedly posted the same thing. Badgering people is never an effective means of getting what you want.

    Just post it once. Weeks or months later if it still doesn't go anywhere, start a new discussion on it, ideally adding new or better information.

    First, I'm not Isola, I didn't make any requests, and I don't agree with how rude and confrontational they can be.

    Second, I really don't feel that it's splitting hairs. The work required for the actual request seems to me (though I am admittedly ignorant) like it would be much less work than the idea they denied.

    Either way, every reply you make is bumping the thread and increasing the visibility.

    As a hack (i.e. a keyboard macro) no, not difficult. As an actual code change? Nobody knows but SE, but tinkering with the same system, no matter what you're doing, is not likely to be any easier. But only SE knows this. Keep in mind all the other million things we've asked about that seem easy to us but SE said no can do.

    And I don't care if talking to you bumps the thread because II (unlike a certain someone) know that it isn't going to magically trigger a new dev response because it won't.
