In other words, restrict a suggestion to be posted if the title/contents contain certain topics that have already been suggested (*cough cough*, the word "Gandalf" and so forth). Something like that, I think, would be a big time saver, rather than send mods to patrol the board 24/7.

 Elvenking of the Woodland Realm  05:15, June 11, 2015 (UTC) We could do something like that with a bot (see footnote). The problem with that is that someone would have to run their computer twenty-four seven to make sure that the machine doesn't overload. And something would always get through the gaps. We already have lists of things not to suggest, but the problem is that it would be such a long list of declined suggestions it is pretty much not worth it.

SamwiseFilmore (Admin)  (Fill My Mailbox) 14:00, June 11, 2015 (UTC) Oh ok... I would think though that any sort of active bot that restrains post titles would make people more aware of what they were posting (than a long list they had to read), and deter duplicate/unnecessary suggestions.

But if Mevans said he was fine with the current Suggestion system, then let it be so.
