Users should be allowed to select a category for other people's ideas.
The idea is automatically moved into the category with the most
votes (including the vote of the author), and that fact should be
indicated in the idea (e.g. Original Category -> New Category).
Selecting Other: [general] should
count as an abstention.
Consequently, putting your idea in the /wrong/ category requires at
least two votes to override, but being lazy and selecting /no/
category puts you at the mercy of the first Halfbaker to come across
your idea (ties are broken by earliest timestamp of the tie-making
vote—so even if you then go back and change the category after
posting, if someone has beaten you to the punch you still lose).

Maybe finally wipe and flush your categorization anal retentivness. |

Actually (to extend your chosen
metaphor), it's intended to keep folks like you from
shitting all over the site. |

we've been using [marked-for-category] ... dunno if anybody actually uses it though. |

9/10 other:general's are there by accident not deliberate miscategorization. |
|

I select Food: Ha-Ha Dangerous for this idea. |

Your mission, should you choose to accept it;
Concoct a viable invention for which no other category besides [other: general] currently exists. |

Why does it matter? With this idea, all of them (both
the unintentional
ones and the deliberate “screw all y'all, I do whut I
wanna” ones can be
correctly categorized. Despite the whimsical category
suggestion in the subheading, I think
most people will tend to vote ideas into their correct
category, since
most people here are capable of categorizing their
ideas appropriately
(and actually give a damn about doing so). |

Oh yeah, there should be an exception for ideas in
the Halfbakery: group of categories (can't vote on those
ideas, and can't vote for
those categories). |

Oh no, that is like someone else picking out a tie for you to wear. (esp. if you don't wear ties.) |
|
| |
Oh no, that is like someone else picking your nose. |
