Updates To Our Idea Statuses

[Scout]

Hello!

Since the Community Hub launched 2 years ago we’ve seen almost 2,000 ideas submitted to our Community Hub! Each and every one of these ideas have been read and reviewed by our team. We pay close attention to what is being voted on and the discussions that are being had. That being said, we have learned a lot as our community has grown and we’ve made some updates to our Idea Statuses that we want to share. 

What do the Idea Statuses mean?
Ideas can have one of the following statuses assigned to them:

• New Idea: Newly submitted idea awaiting review by the Strava Moderation Team
• Open to Voting: Idea has been reviewed by the Strava Moderation Team and is open to voting and commenting
• In Development: This feature has been prioritized by our Product Team
• Not Currently Planned: Will not be added to our product roadmap in the foreseeable future
• Existing: This feature or functionality already exists and the thread is closed for voting
• Delivered: This feature or functionality has been implemented

What if an idea is popular and gets lots of votes, will it be moved into ‘in development’?
Popular ideas are surfaced regularly to our Product Teams for review. Please note that the more votes a post gets, the more visible it is in the forum, however, there are no guarantees that the request will be developed. There is not a set number of votes or comments that gets an idea prioritized. While we do not implement features based solely on their popularity, posts that receive the most votes and matter the most to the community will be discussed in detail by our product team. 

How do I show support for an Idea?
You can show your support by voting on the idea (by clicking on the kudos icon) and by being part of the conversation (comments). 

To find out more about how we manage the ideas section, please refer to our Guide to Ideas.

Thank you for your contributions and being part of our community!

What happened to the dreaded "archived" status? (Just kidding!)
Actually (in the name of transparency and accountability) I want to thank you for the new disclaimers you and Jane are using on the ideas, now. A bit overdue, but far better than just the old "is now open to voting" verbiage.
