More Visibility for Status Tags

Tomorrow we will add a new feature to IdeaStorm, status tag boxes. A status tag box will be given to an idea with a status, in addition to the status tag.  The status tag boxes will bring some enhancements to the way you view ideas by: providing a highly-visible indication of the idea status when scrolling through pages and greater visibility of Dell's response, without having to view the entire thread. Below is an example of what a status tag box will look like:

We also will provide some stability to the community's voting by assuring that the content of the idea you promote or demote will never change (which some users have pointed out as an issue). Yes, this does mean that ideas will no longer be editable, but fear not. If you need to make a change to your idea (such as: spelling, grammar, correcting misinformation), or if you want to delete your idea, you just need to use the Report Abuse function and fill in what you need me to edit or "delete request" (yes, there will no longer be a DELETE REQUESTS category). To be clear, I will not change the concept of the idea or add content to it (the comment boxes below the idea are meant to hold any further discussion).

If I need more information from you in regards to what you would like to change, I will email you at the email address you have on file on IdeaStorm.  As a reminder, please be sure the email address you have on file for IdeaStorm is one you check fairly often.

IMO, these are a bit (lot) gaudy. The font is too big and does it really have to go all the way across the post? (And, for the last time, does it have to be the barfy brown-yellow?)

 Why should the rest of us suffer? People who abuse this should have their posting or edit options removed from 60-90 days

 

Maybe there should be a timeout period in which you can edit your idea, say 1 hour before you idea is locked down. I find myself making little mistakes like spelling errors, grammer misplaced words etc. and I usually do not notice these until after I've hit the post button.

 

@St. Elmo:  In the case that you find an error, you just hit the Report Abuse button and tell me what you would like to fix.  If I need more info from you, I will send you an email at the email address you have on file on IdeaStorm.

 

Another step in the right direction. Very nice.

 

(sniff) The end of an error.  :)  Sounds like a lot of work for you to correct spelling for us now.  Perhaps a spell check function should have been added first?
