Board Thread:Suggestions/@comment-31780004-20180529153053

Basically, we should replace the kudos in the suggestion board (and suggestion posts moved to the trash) with upvotes/downvotes, and give each user a “Suggestion Quality” statistic. For each upvote they get, they gain a Suggestion Quality (SQ) point. For each downvote, they lose an SQ point.

There’ll be a bot that regularly manages suggestions based on the poster’s SQ stat. Here are the bot’s duties:


 * Bump suggestions with over 30 kudos daily until the post hasn’t been commented on by anyone else for two weeks


 * Bump suggestions with over 10 kudos weekly until the post hasn’t been commented on by anyone else for two weeks


 * Send any suggestion that gets 20 downvotes to the Trash


 * Send the suggestions of a user with -50 SQ immediately to the trash

This IS possible; it can be done with an unused account and several “if” statements in the coding.
