Suggested by Jeremy Deschner – Needs Votes
My suggestion is to start having community trophies like they have in XBOX. Currently we have FRP badges, but nothing that recognizes our contribution to the FRP community.
My idea would look like this;
1. A person submits 10 Ideas they get an Idea Bronze Trophy on their profile
2. One of their ideas is accepted and put into practice they get a Silver Trophy.
So on and so forth. What this does is it encourages people to participate in the community and recognizes the superstars! Plus it's a bragging right and it is fun to collect loot if you're a gamer or an engineer in the Microsoft Universe.

From Microsoft: Thank you for your Ideas submission. We apologize for the delay in response. We are planning to incorporate some forms of gamification in a future sprint and the idea of trophies or medals is one of the concepts that are under evaluation. There are some constraints within the FPC Portal in terms of engagement metrics but we hope to have something like what you have outlined to encourage community participation. Thanks again.
