Maybe this is just the polite way the devs can say "we are getting more suggestions faster than we can code." Maybe the 30 is meant to weed out most suggestions. I am pretty sure that the head mods and admins are aware of the posting rate/size of SM community.
Perhaps we have gotten 30 votes before, and perhaps it might happen again. Perhaps. Sounds like a great demotivator to me though.
It is in no way meant to discourage the community, it is as others have said simply a filter. We have no problem keeping ideas alive and getting the votes required, we have done so in the past and will do so again in the future. The problem many people have is a lack of patience in my opinion, just because something is not moved to popular suggestions in a couple of days does not mean we need to reduce the amount of votes needed to do so.
