This is correct.

Without going into too many details, there are limits in place to prevent drive-by voting/gaming the system

How to submit a feature request? or rather: a suggestion for how to better label it how you can submit one

There are couple of ways to do this. (1) Spend some time browsing the site to increase the trust level the system gives new users, or (2) Post it in the general topic, and one of the moderators can convert it to a feature request after review.
