The forums are the better place to post ideas and short howto-s. I recommend the All Things Gardening forum.
I'd rather wait until Community Ideas are back. Are you still considering reinstating them in a manner that is less time consuming for admins?
I have an awful suggestion but it's one you might consider--just as you have restrictions for database pictures (limit non-plant things in picture, be in focus, etc.), you could state that any posts that require more than minor editing of the text or content (photographic placement, etc.) will not be published. (I'm sure you would find a nicer way to say this). It could be much like your banner submissions where you have a really nice, yet firm, caveat.
I really hope that you'll reinstate community ideas, especially if we can earn an acorn or two for good submissions. I also noticed that you've had a few volunteers to be "first readers" of ideas. It seems I'm not the only one who's missing this feature.
Anyone want to chime in?
