I actually choose to give less structure to the idea submission thinking that there could be many kind of ideas so a less structured submission could be better.

I actually choose to give less structure to the idea submission thinking that there could be many kind of ideas so a less structured submission could be better. But actually I'm not that sure about it. Maybe there are some questions that should apply to all kind of ideas, so I could separate those and let a general field for the ideas that don't apply. When you say that people may not take the time to review ideas you mean that I made it hard with all those fields to fill or that in general is a lot of work to read an idea think about it and suggest improvements. The disclosure problem is probably my biggest question at the moment. So I need to test what would convince more people, but at the moment my biggest problem is how to get people to visit the page since with no user I can't really test my assumptions. Thank you for your comment, it is really useful.

My pleasure. What I meant about people reviewing ideas is this: what incentive do people have to come to the site to review ideas? I see the incentive for the entrepreneur: see what others have to say about your idea and figure out what potential users think. But what reason do random people have to come to a site to review other people's startup ideas? Are you thinking that the people who post their ideas will take the time to review other people's ideas? It could just be that it's an inherently enjoyable activity and people will do it for the fun of it or the social engagement (sort of like Hacker News), but that's something that would just have to be tested. Good luck!
