They've done that before. The problem is stupid irrelevant questions get 1,000 votes and relevant questions we need to ask don't.The best way would seem to me to be start a "Questions for the next AMA thread" One question per post. Whichever 20- odd questions get the most likes over the course of a week get put to the CMs to answer in the AMA

Doesn't really matter though. It's not like there're actual answers or anything.
Is a non-answer not still an answer of sorts...?
There doesn't seem anything to those promised AMAs. All the pointy questions are ignored and only softballing is welcome.
Nothing has changed, so in a sense nothing is lost.
If they do an AMA next week, I'll be asking them again about Dev Diary 3 (unless they actually release it)
Just because they don't answer a question one week does not mean we can't ask it again.
You don't need to ask again, as they've already answered. Dev Diary 3 is expected later this month.
If you look at my questions in the two AMA's you'll notice I word the dev diary question to give them freedom ...CM’s arent authorised to answer anything not covered in a press release so I don’t understand what would you gain out of asking a question you know they can’t answer, again. They’ll announce a dev diary when they’re told to. They plan announcements out in advance revolving around other events and cycles and nothings going to change, they’ll tell us when it suits their schedule or if they set the vid to public by accident.
What can you tell us about Dev Diary 3? Any date yet?
I don't word it to force them to give a specific answer, I word it to give them freedom to answer how they want, which is why I appreciate getting the combat comment in Paul's reply today.What can you tell us about Dev Diary 3? WE KNOW IT'S COMING THIS MONTH

Nah, leave it with me .... please?I’ll ask again next week, just to make sure.
barely announced also.
Who did an AMA?
Announced two weeks ago.What? When and where was the announcement of the AMA2?
What? When and where was the announcement of the AMA2? I have also some questions and wanted them to be asked!!!
No but hopefully theyll add it to the OP so we know not to keep asking for info as if theyre just going to spill it. When they want us to know we wont have to ask.If they do an AMA next week, I'll be asking them again about Dev Diary 3 (unless they actually release it)

We need an executive questioner to act on the community’s behalf to soften the white noise. Of course, I’d like to nominate myself since only my question matters.
or if they set the vid to public by accident.
I liked that Paul gave me something more than just "it's coming this month"But we knew about Combat and the order since Dev Diary 1, and after DD 2 they said next one about Combat? Anyway.
I agree, and I like Agony Aunt's suggestion that the CMs focus the AMA on a topic. If they do that next week, and asking about Dev Diary 3 would be outside the topic, I won't ask.No but hopefully theyll add it to the OP so we know not to keep asking for info as if theyre just going to spill it. When they want us to know we wont have to ask.
. As soon as someone asks about DD3 'accidentally' publish it 'by mistake' and wham theres your publicity right there Some people think this will happen Im sure if they keep asking.
Which just goes to emphasise how much notice is taken of our suggestions ... in the Suggestions threadYeah, that's the thing. A lot of people simply phrased suggestions as questions. It was largely being used as a platform for people to make suggestions outside the suggestions subforum.
Didn't make much difference though, the answers were more or less variants on "good idea, we'll pass it on" or "we have no plans for it at this time"

You have to be following and reading the announcements to be notified of announcements, shocking as that may be.
