I had an idea to help stop spam/over-suggested ideas on the S&I,a new voting system,it has some flaws,but i think the benefits are worth it for the flaws. WNTS should come in with this too.

How it would work
_________________

Basically it's a voting system. At the top where the dark-blue border is,it will have a question saying "Was this thread acceptable?" If 70% or more of people vote "No." the post is automatically locked,and cannot be replied to,even by the creator of the thread. The thread must stay 70% or more for about maybe a day or a couple hours until it's locked. There must be at least 40 votes for this to take effect. It's locked and not deleted so if people have a better way of configuring the idea,they can. The creator of the thread has a delay of around 20-15 minutes before CREATING a thread,but they can reply to others if their thread gets locked forcefully.

The Flaws
_________________

-"People can spam the same topic even after their post is locked."

Yes,but you can report it,and the delay between thread topics is there so the spam is delayed and other ideas are shown.

-"People can troll on topics and it's alt-abusable."

They can,but it's like a needle in a haystack. If you played the game Transformice,you'll know exactly what i'm talking about. After each game in Transformice you must vote if you liked or disliked the map,and if it's below 50% it's deleted,if you were to create several alts on transformice and vote on a dislike on a map,you could,but it is highly unlikely,and it barely would make an effect.
Also the person would need to create a minimum of 40 alts just to even make the poll work.
(Note:This idea wasn't originated from this game,i just thought of it as a good comparison.)

-"Good ideas can get locked."

Yeah,but let's face it. If it's THAT good of an idea it needs over 70% of dislikes,that "good idea" will have a tuff time being "good" with 70% dislikes. That's why you can create your own updated thread on the topic if it's good enough.

The Benefits
________________

-Over suggested topics/spam is locked and dealt with and helps get good ideas up on the front page instead of allowing "bad" posts to be bumped back up.

-Allows you to get a quick review and criticism on your own topic/someone's topic.

-If a mod were to SOMEHOW check someone's thread,they could get a great response from the community just by looking at the percentage.


TL;DR version:Make a voting system for S&I threads,if 70% or more say the thread is not acceptable,the thread is locked and the person who created it can't CREATE a new thread for a certain amount of time.

@Wazakazam11

Just for this, I would of voted you as a Moderator. Too bad I can't. :(

Anyways,

It's a perfect idea. You're right about the benefits out-weighing the flaws.

I have played Transformice, though it lagged so I couldn't play it for too long.

Hope this is actually made. :D

I know some people will say it's Alt-Abusable (yes, I read) mainly because of ROBLOX's audience. It's fair to say we aren't Kongregate, with their comment voting system. Though, if they read at all, they would support. :D

@Wazakazam111

You can try to bring this to Uservoice. You need over 2k votes (Roughly 666 (XD) people voting 3s) for it to be noticed, though. : )

Yes, it's a very good idea.

However, if we had this, it would make this Forum a "special" Forum for it's the only on that has this feature, discriminating other Forums.

Plus, you can always just report.

It wouldn't really make it a "special" forum. If you were to add it to such forums as Roblox talk and dislike it,that would probably be leaning towards very opinion based dislikes,and several threads would be locked for a not so good reason. This is the only forum on which this idea is most needed. If it were added on other forums the votes would be of "discrimination" rather than common sense.

You can just report it,but this takes action quicker,helps the topic creator them self/other people. Also a lot of the times,suggestions aren't spam,just typically bad ideas. Also it diminishes the possibility of people bumping the thread back up to the front.

TL;DR Adding this on other forums would be a negative impact other than on this forum.

I have a good idea to make it "alt-abusable" free.
So, basically the system will check whether you are either:

BC, or a Veteran. Either one will be fine. This will reduce the number of alts. ( Even if some people's alts are veterans, not everbodies is. )
And, most people don't have BC alts. That's where I'm heading.
A lot of BC people forum, and so do Veterans. They will vote whatever they support, and whenever the votes reach 100, I think Roblox overlooks the thread.

I was thinking about a restriction,but i'd like the vote to be open to all users. Look your a good example of what i'm talking about. You have a great idea for the topic,but yet cannot vote for it because you are neither BC or Vet. I was thinking of the polls costing 11 tix to vote for,but that's way too much and it's better off being for all users,they are some great NBC/non-vet people out there.

@Wazakazam
I am eligible for voting. This is just a new user I've created. My first user was made on 2008. I have one made on 2009, 2010, 2011. I have a lot of users. I can vote, trust me. :)

Wazakazam11,
Exactly.
It shouldn't be added on the other Forums, then it shouldn't be added on this either. All Forums should be equal, have the exact same features.

Unless they make a brand new section in ROBLOX for suggestions and ideas, separated from the Forums, I don't think this will work.

They already made a new S&I website,if it truly was that much of an issue,they'd make a website for every other forum category too. It's not a big deal,there is no law that ALL forums must be equal. Doing it will just cause a backfire,your thoughts of equality is backing you further away from thinking with common sense.

This is the best idea I've seen in the S&I forums, it would work. ROBLOX community could use this.
