I strongly encourage you to add a layer of community quality control to requests to find out about possible plot holes, contradictions, and possibly woes the community will have with something BEFORE you implement them (you will inevitably hear about it afterwards anyway). This could be done by making requests visible, and giving the community the opportunity to give feedback (which staff or the person requesting have no obligation to take into account), leaving the requesting person the opportunity to correct mistakes or include good ideas that they didn't have.
Heated debates for weeks which will drive development to an even slower pace. We're not a democracy and cannot be. The reason you don't see any other games doing this is exactly for this reason. As to the obvious retort "but Discovery is small!", no way. Not small enough to run the way these proposals suggest.
I think you misunderstood what I was saying, so I explained it more above. It wont be a part of the development process but a step to be taken before submitting the request. It wont be democratic, and there doesnt have to be a discussion by devs or supplicant.
It's just a possibility for feedback to be submitted by the community before, and not after, something is submitted and possibly put in the mod, which devs and supplicants are perfectly free to ignore if they want to.
