Add custom questions for contributors to fill out when creating an idea
When internal team members create an idea, they only have to give a title. Often Product Teams want to ask their users for additional details and be able to make these fields required.
This allows Product Managers to get the full details they need from users when they post an idea, and limits them needing to follow up for more information.

We have completed the first iteration of adding custom questions while gathering feedback.
You can now have team members using the UserVoice Feedback Extension answer custom questions while creating new Ideas. Read all the details here.
Questions can be configured alongside Custom Fields for Ideas. We've also overhauled the Custom Fields interface for better clarity and flexibility.
We're eager to see how you use Custom Questions so that we can extend this feature further! Let us know how it's working for you.
Of course, we know some people would like to ask questions in the portal and widget, but we want to use this first step to get your feedback.
If you'd like to add additional feedback about other places to use custom questions, we've split this very large idea and are capturing feedback about the portal and widget on this idea.

If you allow tagging or admin-created categories (http://uservoice.uservoice.com/suggestions/2322) wouldn't that basically also cover this need? I mean other than tmetro's nifty suggestion about rewarding bug reports. If so vote for 2322 :-)

We decided to use UserVoice only for feature requests and not for bug reports for now. We feel that bugs should be fixed anyway, not depending on how many people are voting for it..

I was in favor of not distinguishing between the two until I ran into the scenario I described over in suggestion 454. You want to encourage users to enter bugs. So if the user declares the entry to be a bug report, you might lift the requirement that they have available votes. In fact you might even award them an extra vote once the bug is confirmed.

Why not just flag bugs as bugs (and maybe give them a different color)
You have "this is spam | duplicate" links, just add "bug" to the links. And also "irrelevant" as well. Sometimes people ask for browser based features for web apps etc. -

Right now, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to filter what I'm looking at in terms of differentiating between bugs and features. Such a differentiation is important if you are running a real, production web site.
