I think making the suggestions forum subscriber only is not necessarily a good idea. A lot of newbs come in, play the 8 hours, and feel the tendency to write a suggestion post. Some of it is hogwash because they didn't see a lot in 8 hours, some of it can be very good because they have "fresh eyes". Also, I think the suggestions forum should have something free flowing.
As I said earlier, I would suggest that the devs can "bless" a suggestion to become an "intended feature" (and write their own intended features, of course), and take there to a new, subscriber only place, where +/- voting and commenting can happen. You don't have to write something new for this, there is out-of-the-box forum software available (e.g. https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/topic_evaluation/ but I'm sure there are others). As it is a subscriber-only feature, it doesn't matter so much if it doesn't look fabulous from day one
( I think you should also allow buying extra votes, e.g. "updonating" a thread, but that is probably more complicated...)
(also I would advice replacing the current forum software with something that you can get for free such as phpbb, you can tweak the look and feel enough to give it a vendetta feeling, and at least it won't suck so much - I was reminded by the reply interface pusihing me back to page 1..)
PS +1 incarnate :)

More simple and yet efficient suggestion
Lock existing Suggestions. Create two new sub-forums:
-Public Suggestions - anyone can read, vote and post
-Sub'd Suggestions - Anyone can read, only subbers can vote and post
Prioritize your supporting base, requiring that any suggestion from Public must be voted on Sub'd and we have perfect balance, keeping an open area for non-subbers, expireds, etc...

-1 alloh
-1 to Alloh
No Alloh, instead, how about a thread where only monsters can post? Then they can access the closets where the candies are.
