Just to add to Icsah:

Mod or dev posting comes with a lot of weight. Were I to post a decent idea and a mod give a thumbs up or otherwise acknowledge me, they would have to then explain themselves.

Like a regularly seen good idea: allow us to color the names of FC members like we do friends. Any recognition, like “nice idea!” would cause people to think it’s a coming feature or has been accepted somehow. It could also cause anger when the mod says they don’t agree with whatever. Basically, 99% it’s just better to say or do nothing, then make a live letter addressing overall issues rather than individual posts.

It wouldn’t surprise me if some of the devs were just regular users going incognito.
