Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Gauging interest in a ROTM contest.

If GPF had a ROTM would you participate?

  • Total voters
    50

Something just came to my mind that may or may not be a good idea..of course you guys decide. Since there's going to be a cut off after the 10th car how about putting a limit on how many times a car can enter months consecutively. My reasoning: a) in case the the 10 entries get filled before you have a opportunity to enter (life takes over and your busy for a few days etc.) b) keeps different cars in rotation c) prevents that one guy that will nominate himself and vote for himself and may be the only vote he gets but continues to repeat the process month after month..nominate himself...vote for himself etc etc.

That's not a bad idea, but it would be kind of hard to make sure every car is nominated on a rotational basis. Maybe a rule where each individual cannot nominate the same car consecutively? It wouldn't be too hard for member's to remember what car they nominated the month before.

Does moddedpowerwheels.com have a power wheels of the month?
 


If I remember right on the one forum I used to be on the rule was if you entered and lost, you couldn't enter again for 2 months. So basically, if you enter in January and lose, you can't enter again until April.
 
Grand Prix's only (any generation of course)

If nominated then that person must have a PM sent to them by the nominee, I'm not going to check a thread to see if I've been nominated

Limit nominations to the first 10 so we don't have a bajillion to choose from.

No self nominations, that's dumb if you're doing nominations

Limit number or repeats each month somehow
 
That would be a good idea that neither you or someone else can't nominate the same car say more then two month consecutively? Then you would have to sit out maybe a month or two then you can nominate/enter yourself again and so on and so forth. Gives that person time to hopefully mod further and take some different pictures instead of throwing the same picture up every time that you took 8 years ago. For the most part it should be rather easy to keep track of, us forum members should chip in for the most parts, most of us know what each others cars look like without having to look at avatars, sig etc. so its easy to throw up a red flag.

Keep a separate thread open for comments, anything related to rotm etc. Then have the actually entries in their own separate poll thread to post pictures and that's it.

Kind of adding more to the first part. Keep the nominees open for a week or until the 10 limit is reached. If there's ever a issues and say a nominee doesn't follow the rules you then either continue with the other 9 or throw in one of the other members who were nominated but wasn't able to get entered before the limit was reached.

This!

I see that crap happen to many times on the other forums I'm apart of. I personally I haven't bothered entering any because I know my car needs a bit of TLC like the bumper needs to be replaced so rather wait until its back up to par then ill enter until then I sit out.

I'd still enter mine with my primered fender
 


How about also, once the ten nominations have been picked, absolutely NO knocking of any of the nominees be allowed? i.e. "Corners aren't cleared, I would never vote for a vehicle without cleared corners", or "where you drunk when you painted your car?" Let's just let the votes speak for themselves? another possible idea, is if a vehicle has been nominated X times in a row, say three, then no more nominations for the rest of the year, or unless a majoe mod has been completed?? I don't know, just ideas.
 
Doesn't matter to me radio flyer,scooter,Vette,BUICK or Grand Prix....There is some sweet GPs out there....I don't care what brand it would be I'ld vote for the Prixs anyway....welllll ok, most of the time.
