Require Gameplay Time to Interact With Suggestions

Greetings,

We've all seen the amount of unnecessary suggestions, reply spamming, and post rating inflation that have been occurring on the website.

I suggest adding a minimum Ingame playtime requirement for players to create, reply to, or interact with suggestions on the website. Players would still be able to make tickets, reports, and ban appeals regardless of their playtime. A similar time requirement already exists for quests in game, where players need 2 hours of active Ingame playtime (Keyword; Active) so applying the same principle will help prevent people from creating large numbers of alt accounts using a VPN to flood or inflate the Suggestions tab.

I would also suggest something similar for banned players. They also should be unable to create, reply to, or interact with suggestions altogether. They will obviously still be able to make tickets, send in reports, and appeal their bans. If their ban appeal gets accepted, maybe they can get get access to the suggestions tab again, but their suggestion activity will be monitored, and if their suggestion activity is not favorable their unban may be revoked if staff deems it so.

Another thing I'd like to talk about are AI suggestions. It should 100% be disallowed on here; it's fake, period. While I know that getting rid of AI suggestions is one of the difficult things on here, it's not hard to spot, so a quick look at the suggestions tab and you will spot one.

I know that some people on here have talked about AI suggestions, and some others are actually doing something about it and reporting it/disliking them. It's a first step, and I'm personally happy that the community is doing something about it.

Reasons why this would 100% help!:

1- Minimize the amount of alt accounts that are being created for the website.
2- Prevent suggestion reply inflation and unrealistic upvotes/downvotes.
3- Reduce unnecessary activity from banned accounts on suggestions.
4- Massively improve quality of feedback and getting suggestions from players with actual gameplay experience.
5- Disallowing AI suggestions, less fake suggestions, more suggestions from real human beings.

Thanks for hearing me out!
