Who is it decided by and how is it determined which suggestions will be moved to the Approved subforum?
Obviously, you'd think someone like Gynx (our community manager) is meant to be in charge of this board, but clearly he doesn't think so. It might be worth having each subforum have its own 'leader' who browses the ideas and decides which ideas to elevate (you know, so shit actually gets done).
If we want to be more democratic about things, then we should instead require new threads to come with polls with agree/disagree options. If the idea gets over a certain number of agree votes, and there's proportionally a much higher amount of people voting yes on the idea, then that idea should get moved to the Approved section.
Imo, we could structure this board in the perfect way and have this really incredible system,
but it means shit-all if there's nobody competant and energised willing to run it the way it should be run, it's all for naught - Different car, same shitty driver.
To sum up, the big issue is the lack of the central authority figure who's meant to be in charge of this board. There's nobody around here who's decision-making. That's why this board is so clogged and useless.
I support your idea, but it won't work if nobody gives a shit again and there's inactive leadership. So I'd suggest implementing a method that reduces the perceived necessity of the community manager (by hiring capable 'subcommunity' managers (Site, game, community)) or by giving more power to the people instead (with the I agree/disagree votes).
