Hot or Not Program

[Gary]

Any interest in a photo rating feature where members upload a pic of their Opel and others rate it from 1-10? It will be fully integrated with the forum, not that buggy stand alone program we had before.

theres a photo rater already isn't there ?? i thought thats what the 0 to 10 bit in the album section was (cos otto always wondered what he had to do to get a 10 for one of his cars )

It would be a voting program similar to the one on Leno's site, but integrated with our member database.
Like this but for cars.

Gary, my GT is like family, had "Him" for 28 years!
I don't know if I could take the disappointment of someone giving my car a (1).

Just lie to us!

All Opels are a "10" to us.

I agree they are all 10+, but in my opinion it might be like the cars that were critiqued on Ebay a few months earlier. Some might get offended if their cars were give a low ranking. Mine is a good 10 footer. When you get up close you notice it's missing emblems, rear bumpers are not horizontal, interior doors held on by screws as the tabs are broken off, paint is coming off on the left rear deck area, and bubbles in the paint. There are numerous other things that are wrong or missing, but hey, it's mine and I love it. I'd rather vote on the "Opel of the Month". Just my thoughts on the subject.

I second this statement

Good points, great feedback. That's why I wanted to get some of the members views before I spent money on a program that would not be used.

I don't know. There already is an Opel of the Month contest in which there is only one winner, although, you can't really say the others are losers. We all like to have others praise and validate our pride and joys. So, why not have a scale of 11 - 20!

It would be nice to see the top Opel Pics, but then again it leave a lot of room for people to get dissappointed by low scores.

What if you could choose which pics could be rated and which pics weren't rated? I don't know if that were possible but at least it would be your own fault if you wanted to open yourself up.

The Opel of the month and the possibility to rate all pics is great to have, but don't spend money on an additional photo rating.

I am against the idea for the very reasons we don't allow people to criticize the Ebay Opels. Someone is going to post a pic of their "beauty" only to find it rates as horrible on everyone elses scale. Then I see a big flame war erupting and us losing members. Not a good idea. Let's keep the Opel of the month and not go with Hot or Not Hot feature.

[roadings]

not only loosing members, but if a persons hard work is criticized we might loose enthusiast too

NO! We do not diss Opels. REMEMBER!
