Idea #8196: Marking ideas by the priority level

Written by Primož Papič the 7 May 08 at 19:16. Related project: brainstorm.ubuntu.com. Status: New
Rationale
I got this idea from jhoger which said:
"Unfortunately Brainstorm doesn't allow an indication of what we think the priority should be"

I don't think this is such a bad idea. This would reduce the negative vote because someone think this is not an priority for CANONICAL or something like that...
the priority level could be set by the idea proponent, but could be changed by voting for or against the idea.
There would be three priority levels: High, Medium, Low.
With voting for or against the priority level would change.
So lets say that this idea gets 1000 votes and i marked it with medium, so it change from medium to high (I think that 1000 votes is enough for high priority or maybe even higher?)
And same if this idea is voted down to let say -50 it would get low priority.
----
The other idea is that voting would be separate of normal voting. but this could be a bit more complex...

Another way to do this is to have the priority be completely independent of the vote.

So, I could vote +1 but qualify it as "Low Priority."

Sort the priority responses with high highest and low, lowest. Report the priority and report the median priority value along with the vote tally.

Or, just allow a more fine grained reason to go with the vote which is a an idea I actually did propose...

Tracking priority is a good idea, but shouldn't be linked to vote count. For example, just because a lot of people notice a typo doesn't mean it should be high priority (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/402/).

I agree with the idea but the priority I think could only be voted by someone that voted on it not by the same person who posted it in order to avoid some "smart ass" from posting bad ideas as high priorities. +1
