Hm, I'm not sure about only letting premium members make suggestions. I can sort of understand the idea that making suggestions for files would be a privilege you could essentially get a subscription for. But at the same time, we're probably going to miss out on some great ideas from non-premium members. I mean, I'm not a premium member, and I like that I can make file suggestions (haven't yet, but I like having the ability to once I come up with something good).
I do agree, though, that something needs to be done about the voting page. Here are some serious issues I've been having with it.
1) Some ideas are unoriginal, and there are several suggestions for the same idea. Sometimes, people add a suggestion that's exactly the same as another, but with just one, tiny difference.
2) A lot of ideas are in the wrong categories. I completely respect that different people have different kinks, or different reasons for being interested in hypnosis. I mean, of course I do! I know not everyone shares my interests and kinks, and it would be very rude of me to think otherwise. But for the love of all things good (or kinky), the feminization files REALLY need to be in the feminization CATEGORY. I don't look through that category because I'm not interested in it. So it's kind of annoying to find those suggestions everywhere else.
3) Gotta love when you can't even understand the suggested file, either because the grammar and spelling is just saddening, or because it's so long and complicated that you have to reread it over and over again to figure it out.
A responsibility that I would gladly take would be to clean up the section. I would look at new suggestions, make sure there are no repeats, clean up grammar and spelling without changing the file suggestion, and add it to the right category. That way, I think the voting page could be cleaned up very well without EMG having to make a huge individual effort.
