The current revision system allows several opportunities for fraud and abuse. It is also inconsistent and encourages people to post duplicates for minor improvements.
I propose that:
The title, description, and Why is This Idea Important sections should be able to be revised.
A history of changes should be viewable for each post.

maybe require a search on topic fist.
It seems not only are we over posting, we are too interested our own ideas and not collectively using this as a think tank approach.
I do wonder if some of the groups posting are on an attack mode for agenda pushing.
If we had a 2nd phase where the top topics were listed for fleshing out it may be more productive in the end.
I think that you're off topic here, but I don't see an alternative discussion capability yet. So I'll go ahead and use this.
I would like to see users be able to act as editors. They would post their favorite Ideas (theirs or other peoples) and provide their thoughts on them. This would be separate from the current comment system. It would be a blog that would be tied to your account. I think that's where you are getting at with your last comment.
