"purpose of Community Proposals is not for UI requests"
Since the Proposals are very important part of the system, why not put it outside where you can instantly access it. There's a Help tab but I never used it like ever. Do the proposal like that instead of putting it alongside DEC/SPS as if the devs are trying to hide it from their players.
Just a suggestion. You can create new tab, link that to the current one we're using. If I do it in Powerpoint, if the battle screen is just the home page, I just add another one that says, "proposals" then hyperlink it. The hardest part probably is making of the icon itself.
I'm not a programmer and I may be mistaken but I don't think that's hard to do.
I agree it could be much more intuitive. I'll share your feedback with the team.
