Only list the names of those whose ideas you actually use.  That way, if someone posts just to get their name on a list, they won't unless they actually offer a reasonable suggestion, much less one worthy of using (since if it is used, that would mean some sort of involvement for giving a usuable idea).

Then you'd have people trying to get there first with ideas, or repeating ideas redundantly because they think it'll get them in the credits. All in all it'd undermine the relaxed atmosphere these forums have where people chip in because they want to help, not because they want recognition.

And that's also suggesting that the ideas Ady doesn't end up using are somehow of less value than the ones he does. To a dark place this line of thought will carry us :-)

Nah, the way Ady has already said he'll do it makes sense. He's kept his word about people who haven't directly contributed still being in the credits of EMPIRE:R (even though he's under no obligation to) but the way he'll do it from ROTJ:R onwards is more practical. I'd have no problem with him doing the same with every release (including ANH:R HD) only crediting people involved directly in the credits and having a more extensive ot.com credit list accessible from the menu.

Practicality, consistency, and saving Ady's sanity is more important than seeing my name at the end. :-p
