word "suggested" for already accepted proposal

Question

Is it possible to say "suggested" about something that was suggested and got accepted/approved? Is it common?

For example,

I suggested a tag synonym on this; the suggestion got a few votes and was accepted.
Nobody can accept or reject it now because it is already decided.

Is it still possible to say "suggested synonym"?

Answer 1

Yes, suggested just means that it a suggestion was made and does not imply that the suggestion was accepted / rejected or not. In other words, regardless of whether the suggestion is accepted or rejected, or if no decision has been reached yet, it has still been suggested.

There is a slight problem with your example sentence. You seem to be missing an article:

I suggested a tag synonym on this; the suggestion got a few votes and was accepted.

Answer 2

Yes.

You can say this as long as it was suggested then, which is what the word means.
