Hey all, I was just browsing around and I noticed a lot of similar threads like "Gun idea", "Great suggestions", "Toilets so Steve can poop!!!", and so on. I had this really awesome idea that just hit me!
Why don't we add a search bar at the top of the forum so people can type in their suggestion to see if it already isn't a thread. This way they can contribute to already existing threads without looking like a complete moron? We'll place it right next to the New Topic button so that it will be UNMISTAKABLY easy to see.
*Edit* I'll make an example of this in my signature *edit*
Another idea I had: Why don't we make a thread housing many of the most commonly suggested ideas to make absolutely sure it hasn't been suggested before. We will call it "[Needs new OP]Already Posted Topics for July 29th, 2010" and sticky it as the VERY FIRST POST ON THE FORUM. This will ensure that people don't go off looking like they are drooling over their keyboard as they make another suggestion related to firearms, the moon, toilets, paint, etc.
I am personally guilty of this twice, so it kind of is a burn on me; though I generally try my hardest to make sure I haven't suggested something that already exists.
It has been getting difficult looking for threads with similar ideas past everything else in this forum popping up. Especially since the ideas involve one or two words, and the search function doesn't search by thread title very well at all.
That's what the big stickied thread is up there for, but Swingerzetta can't update it anymore.
Also you have to take in the idea that instead of collaberating ideas with others, people want THEIR OWN ideas to be published so they can try to get credit for them like they own a copyright on dragon ideas for minecraft or whatever.
Maybe we should add a rule segment that has a specific time (like 10 minutes) to read all the rules and then you can post what you please. Anything to stop idiots that post already posted ideas would help my sanity.

I am just a guy looking for good suggestions that are original, creative, and match the theme of Mine-craft. I have some mob ideas that I need help forming which is a community project.
