  "textContent": "I will answer what I can…\n\nJ0066:\n\n> Is there minimum number of votes or minimum discussion period required before a tool can be accepted/rejected?\n\nNo. Votes are just used as a barometer to gauge community interest in the tool.\n\nJ0066:\n\n> Who makes a final decision, users voting for a tool or Mods?\n\nMy understanding is that the entire staff is involved in making the final decision. I am not sure if that includes moderators or just the paid staff.\n\nJ0066:\n\n> Can Mods not accept a tool even if it fully qualifies under the category requirements?\n\nThere is no guarantee that a suggestion, even if it meets all the requirements will be added as a recommendation. There is a human factor to this, its not just a set of check boxes to mark off.\n\nJ0066:\n\n> My post was up for a short time until Mods merged it into original discussion, which is perfectly fine since it was the same tool suggestion. But the original thread remained marked as “rejected” which I don’t quite understand why.\n\nThe status of a suggestion can change. Typically you should not make new posts for the same tool. That is most likely why it was merged. If you have some reason for why a tool should be reconsidered just comment on the original thread.",
