Add demolish ALL from Queue (buildings) and Sell ALL land Button in such case - when player fully takes over 100% a company and has many merging buildings and land. This button to add to demolish all these buildings from queue of buildings that remains from take over. Button is very needed in late game when player has to demolish 300+ buildings individually by F5 in cases of take over.
The 2 buttons would be added in addition to default buttons something like this:
Demolish Firm Only
Demolish Firm And Sell Land
Demolish All Firms From Queue Only
Demolish All Firms From Queue And Sell Land

I like the idee
You can do a poll for that. If there is a few players who love that, the developers could add this.

When you do a new topic in "capitalism lab - suggestion", you have 'Poll creation" below the buttons "submit"

It is a shame the forums aren't as active as they used to be, this is one of those really useful and simple ideas that would be great in mid-late game.
Try to get more of the high profile contributors (like paulwoman did) to second and comment on your idea otherwise regardless of how many votes you have you are likely to remain ignored by the devs.

Another thing you can do is to reply to your own post to keep it near the top of the forum. I did that before my suggestion on the Freight Cost Index got a little traction. Finally, David chimed in, thought it was a good idea, and asked for input on how to explain the feature in-game. See this post,
https://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewt ... =14&t=8175,
I'm using the same idea trying to get gather support for multiple floors for factories. See this post:
https://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewt ... =14&t=8162.
As long as you are doing more than typing, "bump" to get the "bump" I don't think it would be frowned on.

Personally, I find the current system a bit shaky...
If a person doesn't look at all the subjects ONE BY ONE, he won't have the opportunity to see the proposals... proposed.
Indeed, if a topic is not regularly commented on, it ends up "at the bottom", having the effect of being less highlighted...
I want for example my requests for "game version with integrated translation"
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=8207 and "multilingual translation" without having to go through the reinstallation of the language or game pack, which would be very useful to be able to check the French, Brazilian version more easily.
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=8086
Moreover, in theory, the people who voted for my proposals could be English-speaking and therefore will not automatically need a "language pack"...

I agree the current system is shaky and also agree that one way to keep it alive is to bump it up as you see it dropping down the first page. In effect anything near the bottom of page 1 is effectively dead.
I speak from my own experience having kept up a suggestion poll for 4.5 months

without a response even though it has 18 voters in total. I have given up on mine and have previously voted in favor of your suggestion and thought it is worth giving it a bump.
This is not a rant by the way, just a matter of fact.
edit: Oh well I thought what the hell, let's link my poll again, this is getting me fired up!

Somebody knows how many votes it should be for developers to implement the idea?

I think it is also a function of the "ease" of the change and its "usefulness". For example, this suggestion has barely 2 positive votes and is already being considered for implementation
