Description
There are so many "ideas" that are none.
You (brainstorm team) would have less work if there were a *button* at each idea page which easily let *us* mark the idea as 'not an idea', to be reviewed by you, and you can decide if it really is one or not and set the flag
Let us help a bit.

While I agree on the overall, the problem is, *anyone* can't just decide that: any dumb one could do some Bad Things (c). It must be at least several people telling that's it's not an idea. That needs thinking, and it is not that easy to implement.

I understand - and it could lead to - let me name it "mobbing" of some ideas.
But isn't it the same with duplicates?
hm - a solution would eventually be this:
1. let users mark the idea as "not an idea" or something, for review by you.
2. You decide if this idea is an idea or not.
3. If you decide no, it is no idea, it becomes unaccessable, like it is now.
But if someone just made a joke or it IS an idea, you reject the suggestion of "not an idea" - and the idea gets an internal "flag" - and the "not an idea" button is disabled.
Said more easily: add something like a status flag to ideas like in in launchpad: ideas first become "new", then can (by users) suggested as invalid, or voted up, and if you say it is invalid it is "marked" as invalid (not an idea)
Suggesting an idea as "not an idea" would be as easy as adding the tag "invalid" to the tags list automatically by a click....
little bit confuse, but hey, this is a breinstorm ;-)

We have several ideas about this.
Is IS a problem like it is now.

This would be a step in the right direction but I would like to see these non-ideas kept around and used because I see value in them.
The non-ideas usually describe a problem and the votes reflect the number of people who are experiencing the problem.
This is great but it is incomplete because the ideas to solve the problem are still missing which is what we are ultimately looking for.
My idea is to split the submissions into problems and ideas and link them.

It would be a flagging system that the developers would have to ultimately give a ruling on.
