I am going to continue to bring this aspect back into the forums, it is, dare i say, a necessary component for the suggestions to flourish.

Simply put, any no votes that do not correspond to a reason in the forum topic is disregarded.

This isnt to get topics accepted faster, but to bring in more debates, and better constructed ideas. What this does is makes people think about WHY they are voting, and figure out what they think is wrong with the idea, they post it, and people talk about it. Building off of it, making fixes to the original suggestion, and overall increasing the activity, and quality of suggestions.

Tweak is being left out for obvious reasons.

This has already been discussed (refer to this thread) and you have already been told that it will not happen, since it's not democratic. People shouldn't need to say 'why' they don't like it, they should are allowed to just not like it and shouldn't have to explain themselves. If this was implemented, everything would pass because most no voters don't want to explain and really don't want to.

I have not seen any suggestions fail to pass due to trolls within the last couple of months and I'm confident it will stay that way. If anything, the trolls are keeping suggestions destined for the accepted forum open for longer, allowing for deeper discussion and in the end, a better idea. Let me to quote:

I see no reason to decline the community what they want based on the OPINION of a head mod. This is the community's forums, where we express our opinion. If we want to change the rules around, then let us. Especially if everyone wants it.

Just because Tom says something does not mean it is written in stone and forever worshipped. Things change, and change is good. No matte rhow much times this is accepted, rejected, or neglected, it will continue to come up until mods drop their pride and respect the community's opinion.

Also, this isnt about the trolls, please go back and re-read my post.
