Idea: Perhaps have a designated number of reasonably trustable people do the voting, instead of the general populace? Yeah, it takes away some people’s direct impact on the game, but the quality of submissions that actually get into the game would go way up. The buildr ideas that actually take some thought to make and some knowledge to understand would actually have a chance. It’d make this a better game. In response to the fewer votes, the Domination scoop award for a +5 would go up some (depending on how many available voters ET decides to appoint), and perhaps a new forum for Flamebate where the general populace who can’t vote could post constructive criticism and their thoughts on ideas.

Personally, I got a +1 this week, but if I had not re-submitted my forum idea which got -5’d in the first 50 votes (which did well for two weeks prior, I might add), I bet my rating would have been along the lines of -2 or -3.
