{{Suggestions|So, you'll often suggest something. You wait a week or more to see some closure on whether it's going to happen or not (assuming you got responses in the first days). That's no fun, takes awhile too. What I suggest is a standard to better that.

First, we need a way for people to see suggestions more immediately. The best way for this to happen is for them to be highlighted, as most are after their posters put in a request to an active admin here. As soon as an admin sees the suggestion needs highlighting, he'll get right on it. To make this a bit faster, a simple format for the request:

Suggestion Highlight
Thread:001010 -- COKE ( C S T ) 04:11, September 1, 2014 (UTC)

Of course it'll have your signature, and you could say something more than the thread link, but that's all that'd be needed on the page.

Second, we need to set when suggestions end. The best way to do this would be to wait 3 days after the last response, after there have been at least 5 votes. If after the 3 day period, one side has more votes, it will be just like now. If there's a tie, re-highlight the thread for more people to see, and wait 2 more days. If there is still a tie (including if more people vote and it ties again), the very last person to vote will be the tiebreaker (their vote counting as 2).

If you support, please note you don't have to agree with both. I assume if you agree with the latter, you'll agree with the former, but who knows. Of course comments and/or better ideas are welcome.
