Honestly, i think that if you provide a service that is based on free
ressource or paid subscription you should
give your self a process to filter the detection input you receive  and be able
to adapt it for your setup.


If your analyst can't do it there is probably an in your process somewhere.

Ok, cool.

So, here's my feedback to SF/ET regarding what will help, and I'll try
to summarize the above comments to be sure I have understood them:

1. Up/down vote per gid:sid:rev my analysts can click on at the tail
end of an investigation to indicate that something's been helpful with
a way to make a note of how it was helpful.
2. Dshield/sidreporter-style automated submissions so that you guys
can see the sigs that are flagging on all kinds of FP's right off the
bat and also to get a cross-section of what IP's are flagging alerts.
3. Up/down vote for category confidence on a given gid:sid:rev.
And, I'd personally add a fourth that I feel is very important:
4. Tag suggestion for a gid:sid:rev with corresponding up/down vote
for confidence.

I personally want to see 1 and 4 implemented ASAP, and they can be
started without retrofitting to all existing signatures.  Each datum
contributed is value added.
