Anonymous +1? Request

0

Feature requests are great and we want those +1s so you guys at WPMUDEV will consider it. But the community here doesn’t represent all your potential customers!

What if the feature request forum had a +1 button which anyone could click thus adding more weight to feature requests because you don’t have to be a member then. Perhaps when you are not logged in and you click on the +1 you are also asked to answer a few short questions like how they envisage the feature working, you know to stop spam clicks.

Here is a feature request which I know tons of people would love and it would most definitely entice more people to purchase, but there are few +1s there:

Perhaps a feature request section could be a little more like the WP one: http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/

This way a clear catalogue of requests are there, indexed and available for votes to be done.

Just a thought. :slight_smile:

    Hmm, free member accounts can be created on the site and those accounts have access to the free content. What about extending those abilities to being able to vote? Might help to stop spam clicks given the registration process, no? Perhaps it could also be set so that premium member votes have more weight?

    Not sure, but just a thought.

    They can’t post in the forums though can they? I was under the impression I couldn’t when I wasn’t subscribing?

    That would be a way, do you get many spam signups? I imagine you get a few? lol.

    3 to 1? Sounds like a good idea to me!

    Right, the free members can’t post and I’m not sure how difficult it might be to let them vote if a voting system were put in place, but I thought that would be a great way to handle the matter. And yup, I think a weighting system like that, even 3 to 1, would be nice.

    A point raised in another thread by a member was about making requests but not seeing them being implemented….

    Well if there was a section like the WordPress Ideas one, then you could have it so that all added features could be marked so thus allowing users to see which ideas were adopted. This could promote involvement when users see the requests being accepted and implemented.
