Hi, I have mentioned both of these before but nobody really replied. How about having these 2 extra things for the forums:

Easier to code: Once somebody hits a certain number of forum posts, they get a forum rating. eg 50 posts = lightweight, 250 posts = lurker, 500 posts = regular etc. They do this on another online game I play, and I think it's a great feature.

Harder to code: Polls. I think they would be a great addition to Game Queries because then instead of having to read everybodies posts, you could just look at the poll results and the first post. That way people will know how many people agree/disagree with their idea, and some people might not be bothered to post if they agree/disagree (lazy people )

Thanks for reading, Liam

the posts thing about coding isnt a bad idea- personally i dont see the point but i have seen it elsewhere also.

The polls idea has been mentioned loads of times and i think that it is a good idea but again kinda pointless as plenty of the features that have come in have been suggested on the forums.
If someone starts a thread with an idea then a few of the regulars always throw their thoughts in and that way you get a more balanced view of what people think than if u did a poll that has two or three possible answers.
If plenty of people used the polls then it would be a good idea but i dont think they would.

We don't need polls.

Polls are a waste of time

Gordon brown doesnt appear to agree

LOL! That's the best post I've seen in a long time. Pure class

Thats very good.

took me a while to find a good site for polls. Found that one first but it was like linked inside of a site, it didn't do it properly. Now it works fine
