Proposed Changes to Featured Decks

Hello there,
I have some ideas for improving the Featured Decks queue and I would like some feedback.
People like recognition and racking up points and so I want to create a system where feedback to a deck gives you your own Advice Ranking.
So here goes. When you Feature a deck, it is placed into the feature queue. When someone comments on that deck, it is removed from the queue and you have to add it again. The commenter is then awarded a point, or three points if the comment is flagged as Great Feedback by the owner of the deck.
That's the basic gist.
SPEAK NAO.
I thought about that, but I don't think people will be pleased to upgrade or pay for feature tokens and then not be able to use them because the queue is full.
I would up the points, so it would cost 1 but you'd get more like 10 for upgrading.
Also, you could feature your deck and get a sure amount of comments.

Well they could still use them, but like keep an order of the requests and then once a spot opens the next in line gets featured.

I think it should be limited to about 6 as well but I don't like it leaving once it get's a comment is good. I have had some pretty bad comments and you will start getting people commenting just to get that featured deck out of the way to make room for theirs.
I do think that earning feature points would be good for leaving good comments. Make them earn lets say 5 or 10 good comments, marked good by the owner of the deck, to get a feature token (maybe you could make it so each person could only award 1 comment a good comment each day to deter comment boosters from marking their friends 2 word comments as a good comment).
I would love that. I appreciate good comments on my decks and would love to reward people for good ideas so they keep giving them to me.
Maybe make the featured decks last 8 hours rather than 24 or something like that and put it in the queue but only show the first 6 in the queue and when 1 leaves, the other begins so there are always 6 or less.
Maybe you could also make a visible list saying how many are in the queue so we know how soon our deck will be up.
Just some ideas.

I like the idea that every 1 or even 5 deck comments that get recognized as being helpful by those decks' owners would net some reward for the user who gave them. I love the idea that that reward might be feature tokens.
I also think that bumping decks off of the feature que for any number of comments isn't the way to go. Doing that limits the ability of interesting decks to really take off in popularity. (I know I'm guilty of looking at the decks with the highest vote count first.)
I understand we're loaded up with decks on the feature que now, and I'd prefer the idea of lowering the time spent on the list from 24 to 8 hours, as long as there is also a reduction in price for the tokens.

Either that or like I said, a way to earn them for making this community a better place to be which I think the 5 or 10 good comments for a feature token would do.

If i understand right, if we add it to the feature queue and it gets a single comment, it gets taken off? I don't know if i like going from having it on the front page for 24 hrs down to whenever a comment goes on.
I would be more in favor of a facebook style "+1" or "like" button for comments on decks. Other users can give them the +1 or like aswell, but if the owner of the deck likes or +1s it as helpful, then it can go into your ranking system.
For the feature queue, i would like if there was a limit put on how many decks can be featured at any given time. I think a limit of either 6 or 8 should be put in pkace because when there are like 15 decks on feature queue everyone suffers. You can make it so either a deck can't go in the queue until a spot opens, or put the added decks in a hidden queue so when a spot opens it slides in.
