I think if the team decides that an idea is not currently worth pursuing, rejecting it and explaining why to an employee is not the same as ignoring it. If the employee then continues trying that idea, they're clearly not following directions and that can be dealt with.

Exactly. There is a huge difference in the following two statements: 1. "I hear you about X but we are doing Y anyway." 2. "I hear you about X and understand you viewpoint, however we need to go with Y because..." I'm okay with #2. #1 will drive me away. And it should. It's disrespectful and basically tells the other person that you have no regard for their opinion and that you only ask to satisfy a rule or expectation. If you are aren't going to have a discussion about why Y is the solution and were going to do it regardless of what anyone else said, then why bother even asking?
