Suggestion description
This skill, specific searching, can be bought for 100 xp under the civillian tree, with shopping prerequistite. It allows survivors to search specific parts of a building (if it has any areas useful to search) instead of the whole building, similar to searching a specific store in a mall. If the survivor chooses to search a specific room, it will cost 2 AP and only a generator bonus ( if present) will apply.

Voting Rules

Votes must be numbered, justified, signed, and timestamped. # justification ~~~~ Votes that do not conform to the above may be struck by any user.

The only valid votes are Keep, Kill, Spam or Dupe. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.

Keep Votes

Kill Votes

1. Revise This sounds promising, but you need to offer more specifics.
2. Could you clarify what the advantage of searching a specific room is? --  T   18:47, 14 August 2007 (BST)
3. Kill More buttons, and you really didn't give any reason or rewards for each area. Maybe take it to the talk page, but I frankly don't like the idea in general --Druuuuu 18:48, 14 August 2007 (BST)
4. Kill - What's the benefit here? I'm not sure what this would accomplish. --the one, the only, sushiknight ^{(talk contribs HARD E.N.D.)} 18:52, 14 August 2007 (BST)
5. Kill/change Sure, search in rooms, but they're not going to be of any help. Clarify, maybe you can get certain items from rooms?
6. KILL --Jack13 14:47, 14 August, 2007
7. Revise - revise this and get back here. Sounds promising.--  Savant  Chit-Chat  21:07, 14 August 2007 (BST)
8. Incomplete - I want to vote Kill but there's just not enough here to vote down. Take it to discussion and fix it up so I can shoot it. --Mold 22:16, 14 August 2007 (BST)
9. Kill - At this point I'm going to re-read the suggestion guidelines... because I was pretty sure that a Spam vote was not a "strong kill". But I'm echoing the sentiment that this isn't a complete (or thought out) idea. Review the contructive comments and resubmit. - David Malfisto 22:23, 14 August 2007 (BST)
10. Change - I can see what you're getting at - sort of. But this needs to be fleshed out a lot more. Can you provide any specific examples? As others have said, take it to Talk:Suggestions first. Most people there are friendly, and may well have some good ideas to help you with this suggestion. -- Pavluk 23:11, 14 August 2007 (BST)
11. Kill - Failing to see the point here.--Seventythree 23:17, 14 August 2007 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Spam - There is no need to turn Police Departments into new mall gunstores. --The Grimch ^Mod-U! 18:51, 14 August 2007 (BST)
2. Spam - My spam vote is not because this is necessarily a bad idea. This is just not a whole enough idea for a proper vote, so it's just taking up space. Try the discussion page first. --Steakfish 20:19, 14 August 2007 (BST)
3. Spam - DO NOT MESS WITH REVIVE RATES--Karek^maps?! 22:12, 14 August 2007 (BST)
4. Spam - Review, fix, revive, resubmit. Take it to the discussion page --Ryiis 22:17, 14 August 2007 (BST)
5. Spam - Sorry, I can't vote anything but spam on a suggestion that doesn't actually say what it would do. From what I read above, this skill would do absolutely nothing. So you search a specific part of the building? So? And? I suppose it could give you nice flavor text about how you looked in a back / side / upstairs room and still didn't find anything / found something useless, but that seems an odd reason to buy a skill, and an even odder reason to spend 2 AP.  Swiers 23:35, 14 August 2007 (BST)
6. Spam for sale! - DISCUSSION PAGE!!!! --Evildemon989 ^{Talk · Help · W! · P! · SU! · TJ! · Hai!} 00:21, 15 August 2007 (BST)
7. Will be revised My Apologies. I'll revise this ASAP. Anyway, the advantages of searching a specific room would be just like searching a specific store in a mall: Rather than searching and having a chance of finding many different items, you could narrow it down. I'll have more details and it will be revisied. I was just worried that there was already a suggestion similar to this one.--Toastrlord^{T TSA} 02:15, 15 August 2007 (BST)
8. Spam As above, and above, and above. And also, above -- FriedFish.ca 01:23 August 15 2007 (BST)

Voting Rules

Current Suggestions Advice to Suggesters Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes. Advice to Voters You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam). It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.

Rules for Discussions Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20070814 Specific Searching). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit. Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page. Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions. Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks. Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied. Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion. Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied. Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}} Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.

Invalid Votes Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide. X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others. Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.

Comments Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting. Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.

All Caps Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
