Respect for The Gods of Apolyton
It seems like few posters here have good grace and form when addressing requests to administration, and their flattery skills are woefully deficient. Let me show you an example from another forum of an effective style in which to couch a request to Administration:
"O great and magnificent Thuderfall, puissant Grandmaster of CivFanatics. We have heard tale of upcoming further benefits, which you, in your unbounded munificence, have deigned to grant us, your humble followers. We have heard that you have most generously decided to grant to your unworthy flock, further user friendly attributes of this, your glorious oracle, the CivFantics Forums, That when we have entered one of our lowly but sincere post offerings to your glory, that we shall be returned to the bottom of the thread, and that when we click upon the name of the devotee who made the last reply on the topics page, we shall be instantly and rapturously transported to the bottom of thread, for we, your servants, all know, that the bottom is our proper place, when in your august presence."
Then Bada Boom, Bada Bing! we got the two new features.
If you have have boken your logon or user name try the above style in your PM, E-Mail, or post request. You may just find yourself instantly and rapturously tranported to the top of the to do list. You go even farther if you have a smile, a gun, and a buttload of flattery.

How can we mock the uncouth and ill-mannered slobs who post here if you give them such sage advice?!!? 
You guys keep quiet, or you will spoil everything! 
No good, smart alec, nice guys! 
Just dripping sweetness and kindness between the bunch of you, makes me sick.
