Make it a requirement to have a score of around 5 to submit a forum idea, yes its sad and yes its a disadvantage but it also gives experience to people, also good topics are often washed away to the 5th page in a sea of good ideas with mediocre display. |

Signed. My score is 2, but I don’t think it’s so hard to get it to 5. But it may encourage downvoting, since if you downvote everyone, less people will be able to post ideas to compete against your own. |

Mine was -1. I came back. You can too. Raepdog offers two score points a week for 1BP. |

This is a good suggestion. I support the idea of limiting who can vote on/submit ideas based on buildr score. |

Wonderful idea.
Signed.
It took me no time to get a decent Buildr score, if you’re not capable of getting submissions in the weekly forums, you’re CERTAINLY not going to have your forum idea picked. |

Even unfunny morons can have a score higher than 5. |

True, but there are a lot more unfunny morons with scores BELOW 5. |

I like the idea that people need a score of at least 5 to even vote, in case an unfunny person manages to get above 5. |

This is actually a very good idea. It would mean that the forum ideas are written by those who have already had a proper successful involvement with previous forum builds.
I like the idea of giving more weight to Buildr score. It might also be an idea to say that anyone with a score below -1 cannot vote at all and anyone with a score over 10 has their vote count double.
It’s really not hard at all to raise your score, I’ve managed to get a raise of 2 points every single week for the last 10 weeks, going from 0 to 20. |

bad idea i think… a forum may be much easier to create than a style or something.. just let them do it,, if you don’t like it downvote it.. |

Idea is worth thinking about. I have no problems with ****ty forum ideas, it’s more the voting behaviour and that could be adjusted with this method. |

n00b thoughts:
The idea of limits, for all contributors, but mostly for noobs, can only increase the quality of submissions.
with limited voting privileges, perhaps the pbum bumon would actually be used on the “eh” submissions and only the lame and awesome would get thumbs.
I’d expand on this idea, by making submissions mimic expected r/l forum behavior. for example: noobs are generally discouraged from starting threads until they’ve read enough of them to understand how the community works. For this reason, I’d limit the amount of submissions in certain categories, once again adding to the value of each submission. example: 0 builder points: 1 avatar, 3 typical posts, 2 angry posts, and one design post.
as you build points, you’d be rewarded with more submissions in the categories which earned you points etc etc. certain number gets you a thread, overall eventually gets you a max of one or two forums, etc…
The not voting at all may be dangerous, as it would discourage noobs from reading submissions and therefore they wouldn’t learn what was expected/acceptable for that category.
