Might not work out as you'd expect. Carp Melee/Carp Armor might get a lot of votes and attention, whereas something that's actually pretty good might not get the requisite number of votes as it fades off of page 1 for not being too 'dramatic' of a thread.
I have no problem specifically with the idea, I just know that the forumites (including me) aren't always the best judge of things.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

I was gonna say something about voting for Carp Melee. Now Aett's gone and made me feel ashamed of myself.

It's a good idea Rachel, just... Well.
Lemme put it to you think way, Jason Todd was killed off on a vote that the readers honestly didn't think the writers would go through.
Of course, in theory, this could be mitigated through initial voting stages being for nominating powersets to be voted on, and then the devs would sort out from the nominations the final voting candidates, this could also mean the devs could sort out things not exactly feasible. (Spear melee... ;_
But at some point the player base is probably going to unintentionally ruin things be making sure all nominations would be ridiculous choices.Finally, there's the work and time that gets put into each powerset then tends to make the average release time of a powerset about 1 to 2 per 2 issues. Going Rogue being a major exception.

I'd also like to vote for Carp Melee.
Carp Melee: 3
Everything Else: 0

Turns out forever isn't as long as it used to be...
Dec out.
One of the most common types of Suggestion or Idea is Powerset concepts.
With that stated. I'd like to suggest a Suggestion and Ideas Subforum in the form of Suggested Powersets. This forum would be editable by Developers Only.
Players who suggest powersets in Suggestions and Ideas are allowed to place a "Poll" on their suggestion, or allowed to ask the Admins/Mods for said poll to be attached after a certain point. This poll would be very simple. Yes or No. Anyone putting such a powerset suggestion on the forum would need to add, in red, a binding agreement that they expect no compensation for their idea, and forfeiting all rights to said idea.
Players in the Suggestions and Ideas forums can discuss and vote on the powerset. One vote per account. If the Powerset Suggestion reaches a certain threshold of positive over negative (25% over, or a direct number, like 50 positive over the negative total) after a certain point (one week from polling start) the powerset suggestion thread is shifted to the subforum for direct developer attention.
This would be a definite way of giving the Devs what sets we, as players, would love to see added to the game. There'd be no requirement for them to use the sets as-is and they could re-envision the sets as they saw fit, or not use them ever. But it would be a way of separating what the players -want- as compared to leaving the Devs to sort through all the repeats and necrothreads.
