This idea is primarily for Game Improvement/Suggestions:
Right now there's a star-system to show on a very general scale how "good" the topic is.
I'd say there should be other catagories added to that:
1)  Usefulness - Is this really necessary?
2)  Implement - Should this be implenented (depending on how important it is or how easy it is for MM to actually add it (like that afro idea: it may not be all too useful but indeed rather easy for MM to implement)
3)  Revolutionary - will this turn soldat into version 2?  This should be fairly in the centralized (not too revolutionary but not too banal either)

I think 3 would be enough - but to make this actually work there should be something that urges people to actually vote - like have the star-rating also IN the topic at the top in a very noticeable way.

Any other rating-functions?
Can't think of anything original to put here...

Agreed, possibly instead if the star rating, a simple number rating to be able to fit the three categories in.

I support.

it is only enabled in certain forums.

This change would all have to be coded manually and isn't worth it.  It'd be more helpful if people just took all of these things into account while rating a suggestion (and I'm guessing most people already do)
