Lamby I: Grenv has some good points. Some people can't even be bothered to read the last ten messages; few will go back to a previous page and precious few will be bothered to do an archive search. Others might like to look up a feature but be unsure of how to specify the search; perhaps they have different words for something, eg. I would never have used autopass or auto pass if I were looking up my request. And then there's view that bringing an old request back might give it new life.

I'd love it if we had a fully searchable feature request archive/tracker with priorities and projected dates and all that, but I expect it ... never. The work that would be required from Fencer to classify and organise the feature requests, filter out the chat (such as this conversation) from the actual requests, etc - that's a hell of a lot of work for little return.

Lamby II: My arrival at the site was at a time when autopass was being discussed. If I recall correctly there were two classes of autopass being put forward: 1) when a player is stuck on the bar and 2) when a player can't move because the destination points are blocked.

This request of mine isn't like the above because the situation occurs before the game has started and the "pass" isn't a real one, it's an artefact produced by the game startup procedure. I don't think it should be classified as an auto-pass request.
