Game Mechanics or Game Concepts?

I see a lot of concepts being posted here. Game concepts are things like, "A plumber rescues his girlfriend from a gorilla that escaped from the zoo." while mechanics involve the dodging, climbing, timing aspects.

Or with Space Invaders, the concept is aliens invading, while the game mechanics are basically a side-view shooting game.

So what are we supposed to post here?
