Quotas on downvoting
We each have 25 votes per day. I do believe that qualifies as a quota. I've just been going over some of your answers and so far haven't actually seen a problem in the voting. e.g. This answer got a c …

Nominate Questions or Answers to the "Hall of Fame".
I could almost go along with this rather pointless idea but only if the question is Community Wiki. Such a listing would attract an artificially high number of visitors and would therefore attract an …

Password questions
Noticing yet another password question this morning, albeit an old one, made me think that perhaps it would be worthwhile having the system place an automatic protection lock on all questions that hav …

Adding a User Rep/Question Threshold ala Slashdot?
Are you seriously suggesting that good questions only come from those with greater than some arbitrary rep? What about answers? Do good answers also only come from those with X rep?
I can only assume …

Inappropriate font sizes
From time to time I see questions or answers in which the poster has used something other than regular font size. This can look absolutely appalling. e.g. Stop an already running cron job

How about providing question templates for typical questions?
While on the surface this sounds like a good idea the reality is that we would need about a gazillion different templates, which becomes so cumbersome and difficult to work with that it would surprise …

Points for comments
"but cannot provide their proposed solution until the situation is clarified" pretty much covers it. Answers earn rep. Comments are not answers and therefore don't deserve rep (although sometimes I wi …

serverfault doesn't has a PM?
My take on this is that anyone who cares to be contacted has numerous ways to provide contact information for others to find. e.g. Email address or other details on their linked web site. Anyone not m …

Hiding closed questions?
I believe it would be nice for users to have the option of hiding closed questions and perhaps an automatically added "closed" tag would be the simplest solution.
Another option I would like to see e …

Why can't people upvote their own questions?
Would you also downvote your own questions?
Quite frankly I find the very idea absurd. I'm quite sure none of us are really in a position to judge fairly whether our own questions are crap or gold. L …

Random idea: add tags of any question asked to user's 'favourites'?
I don't think it's a stupid idea but perhaps one that has more against it than for it. I believe most users deliberately select tags they are interested in, which is quite separate from the ones used …

Bad rejection: Moderators should probably err on the side of inclusion, not on the side of r...
As others have already made clear, your edit added nothing of relevance to the original answer. It was merely expressing your opinions. The original got to the point without unnecessary verbiage, so t …

Syntax highlighting based on tag

Is it possible to make a post "sticky"?
From time to time things with a higher than normal level of importance and/or time sensitivity get posted here. e.g. The election and FAQ discussion. On a BBS such things would be made sticky to ensur …

Why are sometimes popular questions closed?
One point that you need to consider when looking at old questions is that the site has evolved quite a lot. That means questions which were acceptable a couple of years ago wouldn't last an hour now. …
