    Default New suggestion..... Make face-off votes public?

    I got a wonderful suggestion from an "anonymous gotstanger" and he/she suggested that when you vote for someone in a face-off their name goes under your name.. and make a sort of list...... this may help show whose voting for who.....

    What does everyone think?

    in otherwords show who everyone that voted, voted for? Bad idea. then you get grudges. Say if someone asked me to vote, and I thought that the other car deserved to win, then I'm on that persons shit list.

    This is in the wrong forum J. Keep this up, and I'm going to have to ban you.

    that's better, but I just don't know if it would add or take away. and that would still promote the "Why didn't you vote?" comments in guestbooks and such. just my 2cents.

    agreed. the only thing i would change is allowing people to take part in multiple face offs.

    I dont see it being a good idea either. Feelings may get hurt... I also agree that it would rock to be in more than one face off at a time... I hate the wait... maybe do a limit of like 5 face offs at a time or something... the way it is now is sort of a drag... its fun as hell but Im an impatient person lol...

    One face off at a time is enough.

    Not to me. I am able to juggle one face off on gotstang where as I juggle 10 or more battles on RMR plus arenas... it would make it more fun to be able to face off in more than one... but maybe put a cap on it like up to 5... also, just an idea cause I know it pisses some people off when they get challenged and the face off is over before they knew they were in one, but maybe you could set up an email notification when you are challenged that goes directly to your registered email addy... just an idea.

    How about instead of showing who voted or who voted for who, why not have a spot for saying why the person did or did'nt vote for either car. Maybe that could give all of us some feedback on what could be done better. It really should be about the car, and not a more popular member, I know it works that way but it still sucks. There's really nothing worse then losing to a car that didn't deserve the win. This goes like in car shows too (Someone brought this up in another thread) I've been up against some nice cars and some that aren't as nice as mine, but because he's more popular with the other people at the event he gets the win. I know I'm babbling.

    Default Just cause I'm dumb and can't spell

    One other thing I just thought of what about J giving up maybe 2 points if the person voting actual goes to the website of the people in the face-off, or limit voting to having to go to each site before being able to vote and give more points for the extra effort. It might have a positive affect for the car that really deserves the win. O.K. I'm past my .02. I think maybe up to .10.

    I like this idea VERY much.....Let there be a comment section that MUST be filled out upon voting for your choice. Let that be public.......Good idea Jim...

    But what if you've been to the person's site 20 times before? Do I have to go look at it again?

    forgive me if someone mentioned this already, but I'd like to see a box where if someone votes no they can say why.. To me, 'Fake/Insufficiant' is too general and there's probably lots of reasons why folks vote no. Could even make it mandatory that if one votes no they have to give a reason.

    Just a thought...
