Staff does read this forum! @Pageaux is a member of staff – he reads through each forum thread on weekdays, and he did chime in on that suggestion you mentioned. He passes along a lot of valuable information to the rest of the team. I also pop in daily, but mostly focused on threads with a lot of traction. Or the video game thread. 
I tend to click on hearts when I see an interesting suggestion to show that it’s acknowledged, but we generally avoid saying, “Oh yeah, we’ll definitely do that,” because we do have to stick to our roadmap. I gave an overview of that over here, and to address some of the examples that have come up, it includes a mobile app to make playing on your phones/tablets a better experience, tournament improvements (synchronized breaks is one feature we hope to complete by the end of the year), bug fixes, and quality of life improvements. Some of these are pretty meaty projects, particularly making any structural changes to our tournaments.
We probably won’t focus so much on things like making game windows more creative just yet, for instance, because we want to dig into things that players have been requesting for some time, while we were focused on the HTML5 conversion. We really did keep notes on all those throughout the years, and are working to get them done. Private tables and Stud are two suggestions we heard a LOT, for instance.
As far as that particular frustration about the call/check boxes, it’s absolutely on our list of quality of life improvements, and we hope to get that annoyance taken care of sooner rather than later.
