Letting you submit fourteen ****ty thread ideas that might get picked is more beneficial to the game than letting you submit fourteen ****ty item ideas, one of which might get picked. Similarly, the game benefits more from fourteen good thread ideas over the course of one week rather than fourteen good item ideas, thirteen of which won’t get used immediately.

That’s fine in theory, but it doesn’t address the real problem of downvoting abuse. Unless that’s rectified, anything else is a side issue. Because I really don’t believe that every single item submission has been ****ty, not once but repeatedly.

The problem exists in Forumbuildr as well. The only difference is that the higher volume of submissions means it’s less stark.
