I posted earlier a new discussion,so far I have a few responses without suggesting it.Then as of this time,I want to suggest it to those who are following me,What I have notice is there is "no suggest" button. and so Far,starting earlier I have not receive any suggested discussion. Does this mean that we can no longer suggest our discussion?

That's right. There was a post from Admin earlier today. You can suggest the posts of others still, but not your own.

No, you cam't suggest yours, but you can suggest others discussions. I only suggested one of mine, out of all thediscussions Ihave started since Ihave been back. I didn't do anymore, as I figured I would get responses anyway, and I have all without suggesting them, so really the suggest feature isn't needed. I have never been in favor of it at all, but I never said anything, until I started getting more than one discussion from just one person, and that got annoying. Now, that I don't get them, I can find one that I want to respond to, by using the people tab, and the discussions within that tab.

@cgalavia I don't start all that many here, but some will start some every day, and more than one. I don't know how they can think of things to say, but they do. My mind goes a total blank. Anyway, I only suggested just one of mine, and that was all. I figured that if they were following me, they would find my discussions, and they always have, as every one of my discussions has several responses and lots of comments. I am happy with the decision abotu the suggestions, as now I wont be getting half a dozen or so from one person. I never responded to all of them either. Things like that just turned me off to respond to any of them at all. I want the right to find the discussions I want to respond to.

@rosekiss Oh yes a lot here,they seem very active a lot like us hehe and can make a discussion at least three to five a day.If one really explore all the pages,no reason not to find our own discussion and surely will have many responses.I respond most of the time those suggested discussion as long as I am here.The key to have more responses and comments is to interact more often and also how interesting the discussion is.

Yes @rosekiss it's true,I am getting too three to five discussion in just one person,People are abusing it because they know when a discussion is suggested there is a possibility that person will respond,However,I will also acknowledge the help of Suggest button because we became aware that others posted already their new discussion and that it saves times in scrolling down to explore page,but then we need of course to interact others discussion aside form those being suggested.I seldom suggest my own for I also seldom making my own discussion,only happened when I came back,I was off here for 1 week then after three days.

Good to see this change implemented - it was discussed in depth yesterday. Admin have done it right away so we can promote other people's pages but not our own. Not everyone will like it but I think it is a great step forward.

Thats what it means yeah. We can suggest others discussions but not our own. I miss friends a lot. Still I pick up what I can and that satisfies me so far.

People who suggest their own posts to others have a reputation of spamming, so the feature has thankfully been removed to stop such unwanted behaviour.

@destry I sometimes suggest my discussion before and there are many out there who also suggest their post to me.I am glad that it was removed as it is also bothering to have received a lot of more suggested discussion,most often three to five discussion in one user or account.At that time it is okay to me if they suggest at least one or two more than that is to no good at ll.
