I'll chirp in here a little bit to help.
We devs often look through the forums, and there are plenty of threads we read without replying (if we were to reply to every thread we'd never get work done!) We have both read and discussed the ideas of tradeable "Name Tags" (Personally this is my 3rd time viewing this specific thread). There are many reasons why we may decide something isn't appropriate for the game, whether it's the time it would take to implement, the dangers of released a new method to increase scam or player harassment, or that we are currently booked with features that we feel are more beneficial to the game.
One of the biggest things working against the tradeable "Name Tags", is that it's a proposed solution to a problem that no longer exists. While it may have been a possible solution to that problem, we have identified what we feel were easier and more appropriate ways to address that same problem!
Just because something is moved to the Suggestions subforum, or deleted, doesn't mean a dev never saw it. In fact it specifically means it hass been viewed, because someone had to read it to know it should be deleted or moved. The sub forums are for organization, so that us devs know where to go to find Suggestions, Bugs, PvP related talk, or General Discussion. If a really healthy discussion on PvP balance or a really awesome feature suggestion took place in the Player Guides subforum, we may never see it because we would never think to look there for it.
