Hello menion/admins

i know and understand you prefere this board because of voting possibility, so you can see what "idea" is most wanted.

Example:

in my thread yesterday i described 3 ideas under one headline, my fault !

and so e.g. gynta posted "can't vote here because i agree only with 2 of 3"

http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/poi-visibility-offline-db-poi


My question, how to post in such cases:


3 threads with equal headline

headline #1 discription and idea1

headline #2 discription and idea 2

headline #3 discription and idea 3


or

1 thread with discription with 3 replays from me with included ideas, so users can vote on replays


or

1 thread with included multiselect poll system (if available)


or ?????

Hello balloni,


this is on a discussion.


Try to imagine how common user works. You (user) has any problem/idea. He comes here and

  1. he tries to find his problem/idea by search
  2. he immediately start adding a new problem/idea which offers him similar existing problems/ideas

So I think, best is when your post is really easy to find. For this, I suggest short, clear titles and also shorter, clear descriptions focused on one topic.


So in your case of ideas for offline POI database, it is really hard to say. Maybe point 1 and 2 are similar (both focused on icons), so they should be one idea. Selecting of zoom levels is quite complex task that maybe deserve separate idea.


This do not solve "gyntas" problem. Anyway I personally think, that is good to vote also for a topic where is just a part interesting for me, because more votes => higher possibility that something around this topic will happen.


The most important is to allow others to find your topic. Here is so many interesting ideas, that is very hard to get more votes. We would like to work on a way, how to bring here more people, so votes won't be only from small elite group (you, gynta, tommi, ...), but also from common users.


Hope I gave you at least partially answer :).
