How to submit a Feature Request.

Sorry, but the feedback mechanism is a one-way blackhole, at least from this side. Hiding feature requests behind feedback rather than being able to discuss them within the forum is not going to work.  A better way to handle feature requests is to enable voting and perhaps use an assigned upvote count to each person as at least some other feature request systems work (e.g., you get N votes to assign to features, you can vote more than once and you can move them around). This change is a step in the wrong direction.
