Where is the leap from an idea to a theory?

It’s becoming increasingly common for people to simply throw out ideas here, and for us to be expected to turn them into a theory.
That’s exactly what gets on my nerves.

Is there really a difference between an idea and a (small) theory? A question for philosophers.

At all, it is more enervating to see „theories“ emerge and run dry, when their owners have used up the very last ideas to prove it anyhow…
