Crew Credits

Please just take my reply at face value. There's no conspiracy here, nothing's hung up. There's no need to write walls of text to convince anyone. If there are valid crew types missing, they will be added. It's just not a top-of-the-list priority item.

I'm saying nearly every time you reply in a topic for additions to crew list, this is the example you bring up. So it stuck with you. Nothing more. so hung up might not be the right expression (apology) but it is certainly your default go to reply.

I second Gadfly's suggestion about the master list so you let us do the job and sort it out in alphabetical order and point out the duplicates and add the ones we miss. Unload it on us...

I know that after we point out the duplicates, someone will have to move all the duplicate to their primary crew position (if there are more than this one example) and this will take time.

This here is like almost all other tv related sites a community based one, users contribute to it out of their free will, they suggest things, they help out and so on.

You on the other way come here and only demand stuff that seems sooooooo important to have, how come almost no other user sees an extensive crew list as important ?

We have features that 50-70 or 100 users are waiting for, isn't it obvious that we first implement those kind of features ?

Why should we prioritize a feature only 3 or 4 people want to have first ?

Well, there are certain logistical reasons, but you can read my previous posts for those. :)

To step in as the middle ground, this goes back to Tonks commenting about how you guys control the voting. Put it up for vote and see how many votes it gets. Although that's kinda skewed right now, since something that has been on the voting list longer is going to have more votes. I don't know what you do there.

(Adding More Crew Positions isn't on the Pending Features voting list now, is it? I couldn't find it...)

Sometimes the very act of pointing it out to people might surprise you with how many people chime in to support it. Whatever "it" is.

So on the one hand I can see why it doesn't have much support. On the other hand... it's hard to judge how much support it does or doesn't have.

And I'm not saying put every request up for vote. Or even this one. :)

But it's the Internet equivalent of the observer effect in physics. How staff refers to the topic ("It's something I really like and want to see happen" vs. "Eh, I'd never do it and don't see the point"), how and if they allow voting on it, and so on, to some degree determines the popularity of it with users.
