Maybe, this is a little obvious for FP, but people can sometimes be a little crass about requesting features for forum software sometimes, not with Gosora in particular, but at quite a few places.
How not to do it:
I want feature x.
You will add feature x or you will become irrelevant.
It's 2018, why the **** haven't you added this yet?
How to maybe do it:
Could you please add feature x?
We have a use case which isn't currently served very well by the software, we believe that it would be nice if we had feature x.
Have you considered adding feature x? We've found that it is extremely useful in case y.
Feature x would be useful as it allows you to do y which would help in moderating a site.
Remember to thank the developer who steps up to show your appreciation for their hard work.
I would also advise mustering up the best grammar you are capable of, using u instead of you and other casual slang can sometimes harm the chances of a developer taking you seriously. This is not the same as not being good at English.
