IDEAS AND FEATURE REQUESTS sub-forum should be removed

That sub-forum is of no use to supercell because till now not a single idea has been considered by supercell in any update of clash of clans..Users are only wasting their time by thinking about new epic ideas for coc in which Supercell is not interested..I know players feel good after sharing their own ideas on forums but what's the point if it gets unnoticed. Have you ever seen any reviews of supercell staff in Ideas and Features request sub-forum that they like this or that idea and are considering it? They didn't appreciate it either

This list begs to differ, and it hasn't even been updated.

Off the top of my head, and I'm sure many can correct me (My fellow IFR Veteran Devil, looking at you!)

I'll highlight in red ideas I recall being suggested in the IFR subforum over the last year or two:

Eagle Artillery: The Sleeping Sentinel

Shields - Flexible and Fair Defense

• Get Shield at 30% destruction, more at 60%, but only when a sizable army attacks

Guard - Play Safe From Attackers
• Guard protects you from attacks and lets you attack others all you want
• Get free Guard when Shields expire and play freely without worry of being attacked
• Higher Leagues grant more free Guard - Titan I & Legend players get 100% coverage!

• Troop/Spell donation interface has been revamped and now shows existing donations
• Troops in Barracks can now be queued in sequence, similarly to the Spell Factory
• The Clan War button now animates when a war attack starts

• A special sound plays when finding a multiplayer target after 10 seconds of searching
• A special sound plays when no multiplayer targets are found and a search is cancelled

• Personal Break limit is now extended instead of reset in some cases
• Multiplayer matchmaking is less likely to offer opponents under your Town Hall level (only below Champion League)

I mean, practically all (except for PBT) was actually asked for at least once in my time watching this subforum. While some ideas were vaguely added, many were asking for a new Hero (not the Grand Warden specifically, but many ideas for new heroes were suggested). Another thing that I didn't notice in this list is where they added a large buffer around the NEXT button to prevent accidental troop drops.

Now some of my highlights aren't exactly tied to a direct request, some were concept requests (More Achievements!). In fact, besides PBT, I think I've seen at least each of these items (to include removing TH sniping!) requested at least a few times over the last years.

Yes, they do listen to suggestions.
