Didn't you get the memo? Ideas have very little value on their own.

That's why it's OK just to trade them around for fun.
Btw. I'm getting "502 BAD GATEWAY" all the time.
Sorry about this, it's my second day administering an arc.news server. I'm not sure what happened but I rebooted.
I got a 502 also, but it seems to actually create the accounts. Try logging in with the credentials you entered.
Same. Can't create an account.
Ideas have little value because they must be tested. That is, any idea is useless unless you know it works, and If you know, you must have already implemented it.
So getting advice for an idea is still valuable.

While ideas might not be worth as much as the implementation of ideas, an implementation without an idea would probably be worth less. I think anyone would agree that it's better to start with a good idea than a bad one. I think it will be very interesting to see what ideas an intelligent, invested community would select.
Are you sure ideas have very little value on their own?
