I hope this is the correct location for a suggestion regarding your forums.
I've noticed that Game Suggestions forum is usually little more than debates over what is overpowered, what isn't, or why a suggestion is faulty. These can be constructive but they detract from the overall message of whether it's a good suggestion or not in the eyes of most people reading the thread. Forum regulars are more likely to post their opinions than an average person who was just viewing a thread and didn't really want to be flamed for their opinion.
It would be somewhat interesting if every "Game Suggestion" by default had an "Agree/Disagree/Impartial" vote attached to it. This way you could get a better view of most players' opinions on the subjects being discussed, rather than 2-5 people going back and forth over why the other guy is wrong or right. Often when there is no disagreement with the suggestion, instead of many people posting that they agree, you simply see a dead thread with 0-5 comments despite the suggestion potentially being a good one. With a voting system, this may be less true.
Again, sorry if this was the wrong forum. It said "comments", so I'm under the assumption a thread like this fits. Also sorry if there already was a system like this. I'm not aware of any. If there is a system like this, please make it more obvious to non-forum regulars.
