Since I at one time attempted to get it going again here are some suggestions:
Limit ROTM forum's access to members that have a) reached a certain post count and b) been a member for X amount of days. Easyily done if I remember correctly. This limits who can vote and such. As you are aware of previous issues where cars would suddenly get 30+ votes because they were behind.
As I listed before narrow the "theme" idea. Hottest hatch, grocery getter, a car related theme. It's been a complaint that it's almost Honda/Acura ROTM every month and that is why previously it was attempted to give each sub section to display to all of TR their top car.
Nominations, first 15 cars nominated which fit that months criteria(yeah more so the voting may/may not be closer) or cut off at a certain date with whom had been submitted.

Sorry you feel that way.
You still have the same criteria and free for all of entries, just your nomination has to fit the picture criteria or what ever and if it's close the "panels" vote could change the winner from the popular vote.
The only change from the original ROTM is you require something be in the nomination picture, which brings me back to your comment earlier....
The point of the theme is for you to go out and get a picture (not use an old one)..... how many of this months were "new"?
I'm not bitching, it's called constructive criticism of a flawed system. You just want it your way and can't listen to members who've been here for some time (3rdshift bitches lol) who have ideas and suggestion you care not to hear.
Go back to the main ROTM forum and look at past winners........ see a trend?
My idea is to include every group of TR. There's reason some members and groups care not to be a part of it because with the way it was set up and the way it is now being done, voting will always be fan boi controlled.

you say its the same shit that its always honda/acura but our first month back, on a half month, we got 11? nominations, 7 entries, and the top THREE cars were 2 nissans and the winner a mistu.
EDIT: Its been proven that this system will not be "fan boy controlled" but if those users choose to 'not to be a part of it' then they can keep their bitching to themselves. Again, get some rides nominated.. THEN bitch about them getting the short end of the stick. Until then, there is no discussions based on how it USED to be.

I dont. And thats what youre missing. I understand the issues with the old system. But this IS a new one. I understand you might not see that, but its only been a few weeks. And we are working on getting all the kinks out.. just give it time. You say Domestics are ignored? Soo nominate them.. get the sub forums involved. At least give the shit a chance to fail before you call it a failure.

You don't want to make it individual make/model/etc themes, but look at the forum..... it's pretty much what we are.
We could nominate a 1100hp mustang with hundreds of hours in work into it, but it would be out voted by the general public(yeah it's happened before).
I would redirect you to previous forum post on the matter but they are all gone. When I posted up the ideas for themes way back when the concept of rwd/awd/fwd/truck/bike/honda/nissan/etc differnt each month was very welcomed.
yes have a theme for the month, but focus on a certain make, drivetrain, or a specific car culture to give it structure.

Again it was done before. It didn't work because we have a large section of import fans. So no matter how you weigh it with the other 20% of votes a non import won't ever make it. So if a car gets 50% of the member vote you're telling me it's not going to win?
