Minerealm Community Forums

In light of recent suggestions, I suggest (:P) improving the system further, making it more efficient by phasing out the really bad suggestions before the community can mock and ridicule. This is explained in the following description, which is broken into bite-sized pieces, so most of you can better comprehend what I am saying.

//

A user will type a suggestion the same as before, but now in a new 'proposals' section which will be a subcategory of the suggestions/ideas

Proposals submitted will not appear on the main forum page, similar to ban appeals. They will appear solely in the new 'proposals' section.

Once a proposal is submitted, it is effectively 'locked'; no-one will be able to reply to the post (unless staff deem necessary). Users are only allowed to vote (thereby submitting their approval) or not vote (not approving it).

A proposal will need to reach quorum of a minimum of 20 approvals within a week period. Otherwise it is immediately 'rejected'.

Once a proposal is approved, it will be moved automatically to the 'suggestions/ideas' section (also appearing on the main forum page); it will also be unlocked, allowing users to comment.

//

This suggestion will comply with previous suggestions (needs 70% approval rating/one cannot submit more than one proposal per week/anything else I have missed out).

//

TL;DR Don't be lazy, go read it.

There would be no real point in this. People would probably vote yes, then later on vote no.

Also, it wont have much effect due to this:

Fair enough, but there are two flaws with your argument.

1. This is to further reduce spam, because someone who really wants to put out many ideas could evade this by asking others to post on their behalf.

2. Why would you approve something if you disagreed with its principle?

This makes a good idea a near foolproof one, if implemented. ...WHICH IS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE YES.

This would inhibit idea discussion. Plus, I like the really bad ideas.

Although, I agree with Dlgn, that this will inhibit idea discussion, I voted Yes because I think this will make the 'Suggestions and Ideas' section cleaner. +1

Now I can spam... er, I mean "suggest" all I want.

oh the irony

I don't follow. Is that intended for me?

Discussion on ideas is pretty important. An idea that is generally good but has a few flaws shouldn't have to wait for the votes to come in before the flaws are fixed. This system would inhibit that.
