I don’t know if they falls under features wish list, but what if you could vote on cars to be added?
They would be a section on these forums dedicated to this.
You would have a option to add to the list of wanted cars. If the car you want to be added is already up their, you can hit a “+1” button next to it which adds to the total votes. The cars would be sorted by votes. End of each week, the car with the most votes would be added to Forzathon or to the game in general. This would eliminate the 116 page, 2177 reply wish list thread, down to maybe a list of 300 cars on this voting page. This can also remove people double posting, as the mod’s could moderate this page and remove twice of the same car and transfer the votes. This could really settle what the community wants car wise.
Your account must be 20 days old to suggest a car. This prevents trolls. You also must have at least 100 gamer score or 200 points to do this. This is so trolls can’t just create a new account to troll. Please suggest any changes to this in the replies.
You can vote from in the game from the show, or you could make a little advertisement / banner in the menu saying “Vote for upcoming cars on Forza Motorsport.”
This could be moderated by the mods having a special program that compares car names and if its too similar the mods will be alerted. The mods can also go in and delete and transfer votes if they are double posted. If a car has been added to the game, it can be added to a separated list of added cars wit the vote count next to them.
Mods can’t delete cars past 10,000 votes (You can suggest higher or less number. I’m not sure on the # of users on these forums), so they can’t get rid of cars they don’t want if they feel its getting too popular and want to ignore it. I feel like the mods would never do this, but its a safe check.
Mods can go in and fix spelling errors with the name of the car.
Next to the vote button is a button that links you to a discussion thread related to that car. The car has to be verified as a non-double posted and original to have this option. This will not be seen on the the main forums, only by the link form the voting itself.
You can sort by manufacturer, Most popular and New to search cars. As you are typing in the requested car you want to add, it will pop up on your screen all cars with similar names. So you don’t accidentally double post. You can also search a car model itself when you are going to vote.
Their will be no down voting, as people could just vote on the cars they want. You can’t vote twice, and can undo your vote.
I see lost of times where people will request a nice Honda or BMW, or Ferrari but it gets lost in the thread. These cars would of been perfect for a Forzathon.
This new idea could spice things up, as people can begin to see if people really agree with them. Imagine how much faster This website could be without a massive 2,117 reply thread with images.
Please leave your input below.
The voting will look like the picture below. Of course it would be styled differently to fit the needs of these forums, and their will be no description box. The whole idea is the general idea of how it should be.
