No we didn't. This issue had not been decided. It is for the developers to decide. You (and I) are just another user who discuss suggestions in forums.
Yes we were over that in that thread. Unless you want this thread closed aswell you should stay clear of the same statements.
It is not the same issue. And you are NOT the one to define which suggestions I will bring.
Your suggestions are like broken records. Trying to whine about the same things from different angles. I do not control which suggestions you can make. But, creating the same kind of suggestions, will eventually have consequences.

I don't care about closing a thread or not.

Closing a thread will also not define whether a suggestion will be develpoed.
The GMs, like the LAs, are powerless regarding the desicion taking about developing (or not) a feature upon suggestion.

This game was not built for those who are great at the "unique and important" abillity to stare at a screen with nothing to do for an hour.

If you don't care, why post at all?:)
Closing the thread shows the suggestion has run it's course. Hint: stating the same things over and over again will lead to nowhere. Even worse is suggesting the same thing that has been suggested monthly and have been effectivly countered by a lot of users.

Only you stare the screen for hours (suggestion forum mostly?):D If normal manager needs a player (that's about once a month or less) they log in 5 mins before deadline. Take part in the bid war and are done with it. Why you would stare the screen for an hour because of a transfer is really bizarre.

But there is many things to do during one hour like you are proving every day by posting in this forum.
And due to that (and others) there is no reason why I need to stare at a screen which changes every minute and an half on average instead.

And as everyone said to you,
You have a kick from being part of a group. Don't you.
I'll just say one name - Galileo Galile.

this is a big exageration to said you need one hour to bought a player. 15 minutes could be enough.
So, it will not be as long as I thought (and I think/sure that you are wrong).Still there is no reason to loose even that 15 minutes.

you still have to be ready to be Pavlov-like and react to the buzzer every two minutes or do it yourself.
Yes, but you can do other stuff while being near/at your computer.

Lets try to keep the suggestion more about requirements rather than specific implementation. Ive tried to summarise below.

'A feature, which can be used as a reminder for expiring transfer bids that a user has made on a specific player'.

Where the 'Feature' and/or the 'reminder' could be a buzzersound/email/shaking screen/carrier pidgeon/dancing fat-o-gram. Who knows.

And where the feature can be set at a specific point in the bidding process eg: 5 minutes before expiry or 1 hour before expiry.

A suggested implementation could be
On the Bids page - a check box and text box - Check box to say 'Yes, remind me' and the text box to specify how many minutes before the bid expires.

Make the reminder a text message? Supporter feature only? Charge a premium on the texts.... BuzzerBeater would make a bit of money i reckon?

I don't have problem with this obscureness.
But...
In the end you will probably will want a BB-buzzer to be heard (or a BB-pop-up).

The idea of setting the time (before auction ends for the reminder to be sent) by the user is somewhat an improvement to my suggestion. [I'm not sure your enhancement how much is it necessary and worth the cost, but cost issues are for the developers to decide].

This reminder will be sent several times during an auction, as there are many bidders (usually).

1) Read about Galileo Galilei. You not knowing his story is quite a shame and a hole in your knowledge...

2) None of your "claims' doesn't answer:
a) What does the "quality" of staring at a screen as to do with BB managing.
b) Why not having in-game feature instead of a timer in your clock.

Not really.

Maybe its just me but I have my speakers turned off unless it is absolutely necessary to have sound in order to minimise noise pollution and to conserve electricity. If you're watching a movie or playing a game and there is sound then fair enough, but to have a sound that will only pop up once on the trigger of that event is totally useless to me.

Setting an actual alarm on my phone actually serves better than having a noise that could potentially go off on my computer when speakers are off anyway.

Again, your idea is absurd. As stated previously you only need to be online 5 minutes before the player's scheduled auction is to end. Bidding any earlier is a total waste of time. You will spend maybe 15 minutes at around the near end of the player's deadline but you would be too busy refreshing the player's page every minute or 2 that you won't be doing other things.

As a supporter you can already get an email reminder at a chosen time before an auction ends.
