"Suggestions" karmaFollow

I'm fairly certain this has probably been suggested before, but not being premium I can't search the forums, though I went back a couple of pages to see if there was anything visibly recent and found nothing.

Anyways, just had a small idea, strictly for the various "suggestion" forums, I was thinking maybe you could add some kind of one-shot karma count to the original post of a thread, so that the suggestion itself can be rated up or down without affecting, or being affected by the poster's own karma. Occasionally some people get rated down for who they are, rather than for the suggestion they post. I have seen some suggestions that I thought were rather good be rated down to default at first before going up to excellent.

I mean, sure it could just be that someone genuinely thought it was a bad idea, and if someone's being karma-camped they'll probably still get rated down without being read, but a separate karma rating for each suggestion might be beneficial in getting new worthwhile ideas forwarded to devs to consider.

Anyways, just a thought.

So.. a new thread in the <Insert game here> Suggestion forum starts with a Decent/Good, as opposed to the user's default karma rating?

I'm not really sure what you're getting at. Genuinely good ideas shouldn't be affected by the original karma rating.

And by that, I mean: If the idea is actually good, it will be rated up to Excellent fairly quickly, right?

Huh, I guess only FFXI has a Feedback and Suggestions (for the game) forum.

And if the suggestion is genuinely bad (which is 99% of those suggestions) they get to start at a higher rating than they deserve?

SE is the only MMO company that doesn't have its own game forum.
