Perhaps this idea might sound crazy, but I believe it could encourage more people to participate in requesting features for the site.
For example, if someone requests a feature and it gets implemented, they could receive a reward of $10 or less in the form of credits for future purchases of plans or other site features, similar to what will be available in the marketplace later on.
Another issue I’ve noticed is that I’ve submitted several feature requests, and there isn’t a screen that shows whether someone has reviewed them or at least taken a look, whether they’re being considered, or if they’ve been rejected for some reason.
This makes me hesitant to continue submitting requests because I don’t see if anyone is reading them, and it can be quite discouraging.
