Separate category to indicate 'Idea Exchange related'

As content added to Idea Exchange is treated  & behaves differently from content added to Travel, How to, etc it would be useful if we could select a separate Idea Exchange category for ideas that specifically relate to Idea Exchange (instead of the general Connect category). 

 

[Ironically, I obviously have to select 'Connect' for this idea 😂]

 

A specific example is the post @PaulPavlinovich posted earlier about off topic posts. It is unclear to me if this post refers to Idea Exchange or not (I hope it does, as it definitely could use some cleaning).

Hi @JanVanHaver. We have specific categories for the Idea Exchange that are different than the other areas where you can contribute to topics (like Travel) which are Google Maps, Connect, Local Guides, Perks, Meet-ups and Other to capture the general idea, using the text field to explain the specifics of the idea. 

 

We purposely kept the categories limited to capture general ideas and know that too many choices create even more confusion. So, while we appreciate the suggestion, we will not be implementing at this time. I'm changing your idea status to "Revisit later" so other Local Guides may vote and weigh in. Thank you!

Hi @JanVanHaver my idea referred across all of Connect but I suspect its an idea I'll need to explain in person :).

Great idea @PaulPavlinovich. Do not rest before you get at least some questions answered 😁

However, we did not manage to implement it in time and according to out Idea Exchange policies we are going to need to close your idea.
