Importance of suggestion: Depends on the idea
Why should it be accepted: Let me make this simple for everyone... If you want to read a somewhat long rant on why these should all be accepted. click below!
If you just want the basic ideas of the suggestions, read below
1: Fishing need work: I've been doing this alot lately, and I feel like it was just tossed in based on a single suggestion without any real forethought. First issue is all three bots are so damn inconvenient! You buy your rod and bait from a guy on a dock above the water who is a total pain since you have to drive to him, drive to the water, then back... and he only sells a max of 25 bait, which is a whole 3 minutes of fishing! It's faster for me to use my tropic as a staircase under him. Park under him, climb the front, buy bait, jump down, fish and repeat. Then, if I have illegal fish, drive to Ganton on the other side of LS... and legal fish? ANGEL PINE! Serious, as if wasting my time on the bait issue wasn't bad enough, I have to drive HALF THE MAP to sell my fish. I fished for an entire hour a week ago... my reward even with expensive and illegal fish? Little over 4k. In perspective, I can pop off a pipebomb and get more money in a few seconds. The locations and prices are just not worth it, especially for a job most users don't even know exist.
2, Transporter odd job: Ever seen the movie? It's pretty simple idea. You pick up items somewhere and transport them safely to another place. I'm not saying give us thousands per load (unless it's illegal goods and you get wanted on pick-up) but it would be fun to just make some money driving.
3, Smuggling drops: Pagati has the ability to airdrop drugs which they can move to drug dens and groups, but it doesn't get them wanted nor does it help anyone else since we can't grab them. It's purely a Pagati thing. I think we should either A) have random drug, gun, and item drops/pick ups and everyone hears about it. When a crate drops, group members can all go for it, and whoever grabs it first gets wanted and has to deliver it to their racks before the cops gun them down. Another way to do this would be if groups participating had a command like /deliver which makes their name a color not used often (Dark pink maybe?) and everyone fighting for these rare (or uncommon) drops would be able to fight for it. As in if 3 Blackout members grab it and 5 Buzzard's show up, they can have a whole shootout without it being DM and the survivor grabs it. It's basically whoever delivers the guns/drugs/items to their base while evading cops and other gangs.
4, add a new /policelight: Not sure why this particular light never got added, but it would be nice to have in the list. Furthermore, for those of us who donate for policelights (not gangs) can we PLEASE get a siren too? Gangs can buy sirens, but donators can't. It was kind of a letdown when I bought policelights for three months and did NOT get a siren too, when several gangs have both.

5, Add more score rewards: The highest score you need in LS-RCR is 3000. You get Regular Players Club at 750, Black Market at 1500, and are eligible for the tag at 3000. After that, there's just not point. Why should I keep doing things for score when there is no reward? It's only bragging rights, and we have over 100 users with 10,000+ score! I feel like we need a 3k or 5k, maybe even a 10k+ club. Doesn't need to have guns and such, just something with a few unique events or something. We just need SOMETHING to encourage people to play more instead of sit back and enjoy having 3000 for no reason.
6, Player activated events: You know what would be fun? Having a race with other users without needing staff to set it up. It wouldn't be difficult to make up a few premade races, deathmatch events, or even stunt events that players active. We could go to a checkpoint, select an event, and a message with a command could show up in chat asking people to join. Or have races/stunts/DMs just generate every 60 minutes or so, something to do when fewer people are on and we're all bored. We could also do the checkpoint started races where people take their own car to the checkpoint, enter the race, and everyone puts up a bet and winner takes all.
7, tactical/roleplay items: I've had this a few times in RPs and in cop hunts: Zero specialty tools. We have a swat jammer, that's nice, but really we could use a bit more chaos when you have a dozen criminals in a space. So, can we add smoke grenades for cover, flares (which could be used to blind cops and attract Hydra rockets), molotovs for some fire, and satchels for making traps? Could make them black market items, or add a special shop for them if you feel they might be abused and need a higher score for appropriate use.
So yeah, that was long winded. But it's been a year since we saw anything really 'new' and there's been alot of suggestions lately, most pretty decent. So I think LS-RCR needs a good V10 updating using these ideas to keep things fresh and make us want to work more at playing. Also don't forget my original list here!
