Black_Elk is (mostly) on the money with the advice.
Larian has actively requested suggestions and feedback on here for a large part of its company history. DOS1+2 had immense community feedback during and after development. There’s plenty of fan threads, but the suggestions and feedback subforum is generally for just that: suggestions and feedback.
Of course, when Larian asks for feedback, they also understand that everyone is going to have different tastes, preferences, likes, dislikes, wants, and needs. This subforum is therefore less a “To-Do List” and more of a brainstorming platform of things to consider adding. Some things that one group demands will be vehemently opposed by another group. Voicing your opinion is great, but after you’ve voiced it once on a particular issue, it makes no difference if you voice it again on the same issue.
The final judgment is Larian’s. It doesn’t matter (usually, not always) if something is posted one time or a million times (see the mega thread subforum for frequently demanded features). It’s not just a company; it is a group of creative people (artists) with a creative vision (art), and they’re allowing fans into the fold. Larian accepts a great diversity of feedback, but the determinants of the final decision lie in the creative process (and financial and technical constraints).
When dealing with diverse opinions, what the moderation team mostly requests is that people at least try to be civil, respectful, and empathetic. You don’t have to be a paragon of virtue by any stretch of the imagination, but we do ask that people at least make a good faith attempt at being decent to each other, even when vehement disagreements abound. To reiterate: you don’t have to be perfect; you just have to do your personal best to be decent to each other.

Moderator hat off:
I’m now realizing I’m one of the younger people on the forum as someone born in the mid-90s…
