Stuff takes time and it's hard for a dev team to know how much people want stuff, and how exactly to do it, since when you actually do change stuff you tend to get an enormous uproar of complaints.
Also there's a lot of work to do on the dev side and there's been technical debt and issues to resolve, they're still rewriting the backend into a new language and can't do much "big" things until that's done, for example.
Yeah, from what I understand, developing new features is completely on hold until the backend rewrite is done. And, as a developer myself, I do want to point out to anyone reading that developing a "simple" feature such as posting cooldowns still takes a lot of developer time. Considering that the devs are freely volunteering their time, we ought to try our best to patient while waiting for new features. That said, I am also very much anticipating the addition of new features that will help reduce raiding and combat transphobia on the site.
It was a good idea from day one and i really don't know why the fuck it was never implemented
