The problem is that these 'constructive ideas' are usually written as "Sailfish is great but here is what you should do as I the single user know everything ever". There is an enormous difference between saying "I think putting this information more clearly on the lock screen would be useful, because x and y" and "you should put this information on the lock screen because it sucks", even though the essence is the same. One is constructive criticism, the other is just being a ****. I'm not saying you can't tell someone that what they made is crap, but if you do, you shouldn't expect them to listen to your reasoning as to why they should change it. After all, you just told them they made crap.

Two examples from TJC:
  • https://together.jolla.com/question/...r-lock-screen/ - all I see is "it's 2014/2015 this lock screen is **** I don't like it C--- wouldn't use again", nothing constructive about it - even though it brings up a good point that the lock screen could show more information without necessarily losing the purpose of a lock screen (although that has been discussed to death already in countless other requests, which makes this post even worse)
  • https://together.jolla.com/question/...-sftp-account/ - no "it's 2014/2015 and there's no sFTP account option in the Settings what the **** is this ****", no nonsense, just a simple request
(As a side note to get even more off-topic, what's the point in these word filters anyway? When I see asterisks, I count them and guess which word could have been used. Why not just show it?)
