   I like this....I like it A LOT!!

   First, the format of this page and the way it answers some basic overview questions is really quite perfect. I will modify it for our needs.
   
   Then this one seems like an answer to many issues we have with things. Puts the author in charge of what they want. I get the start of the guild like quest thing I wanted.
   
   

   What if I don't get a good answer?
   
   In order to get good answers, you have to put some effort into the question. Edit your question to provide status and progress updates. Document your own continued efforts to answer your question. This will naturally bump your question and get more people interested in it.
   
   If, after 2 days, you still don't have an answer you like, you can offer a bounty. Slice off a bit of your own hard-earned reputation -- anywhere from 50 to 500 -- and attach it to the question as a bounty. We'll even throw in 50 reputation to sweeten the deal. The bountied question will appear with a special icon in all question lists, and it will also be visible on the home page Featured tab.
   
   Once initiated, the bounty period lasts 7 days. If you mark an accepted answer, your bounty is awarded to the answerer (do note that accepted bounty answers are permanent and cannot be changed). If you do not accept an answer in 7 days, here is what happens at the end of the bounty period:
   The highest voted answer created after the bounty started with at least 2 upvotes will be automatically accepted. Half the bounty will be awarded to the owner of that answer.
   If there is no answer meeting the above criteria, and you as the question owner have not opted to accept an answer, you forfeit your right to ever accept an answer to your question.
   
   In any case, you will always give up the amount of reputation specified in the bounty, so if you start a bounty, be sure to follow up and accept the best answer!

   
   
   Have been talking a long time about scrolls/ideas submitted by others.Been thinking about allowing the author to make ideas "official", "accepted", or just normal. Official and accepted get some extra XP as they meet the author's expectations and/or increased the value of the post. Ignored would be normal ideas just sitting there. This would do the same for comments and/or ideas depending on what the author is looking for.

   We are not looking for answers... but of course we are. I can see it well, it is a good approximation to what is done here.
   
   Will there be a bounty mechanism for drumming up ideas for things? (And a Bounty Hunter badge, of course...)

   It sounds like a really fun concept!  :up:
