AutoSpies.com 'M' Edition Coming Soon! We Need Your Input!
One thing you can always count on with AutoSpies.com is that you will always find the hottest automotive news, photos and video anywhere on the web and in print.

And you will always see the best technical innovations here first.

We were the first mainstream automotive site to have user posted editorial content, galleries (photo and video), blogging and social networking tools, etc., etc., etc.

Well, it's time to take to the next level again.

But this time, we need your help as we develop as Steve Jobs would say, the 'Best of Breed' website.

We don't need to be the biggest, just the best.

Anyone who knows me, knows I'd rather be Steve than Bill.

We're in the garage as we speak, cooking up the next set of features and enhancements.

So let us know the things you would like to see, improvements (interface, commenting tools, users garage), new features, more horsepower, etc. in the next version of AutoSpies.com.

We're calling the next version AutoSpies.com 'M' Edition.

Nothing's too crazy, nothing's too small to mention, you have made this site a success and we're driven (pun intended) to giving back. What do you want to see on the 'M' version of AutoSpies.com?

Together, we will always lead the pack!

We're building it, so even more people will come!

Hey...
comments...

- better search methods for the site (Not web)
- One thing would be great, to gave a section that links to ALL car manufacturers "customize your car" section and is updated as manufacturers make them available.
- to have more photos and information rather then what has happened to the site in the recent months. the site is just a collection of links to other sites.

More comments to come later...

thank you

More GOOD video reviews, not the shaky crap that usually gets submitted

Bigger user icons, but not so big like other sites

Being able to edit posts or preview them as some one said

This last week the site seems a lot faster, maybe it's my connection, but keep that feature :)

Better reviews, not just rehashed press releases with 2 lines of input. We don't get to drive all these cars, so we have to live it thru journalists

I like the Boost thing on the comments, it revalidates when I find something interesting or funny that I'm not the only one

Being able to post your own photos in the comments would be nice. Being able to post links would probably just turn into a spam fest.

The right column of this site seems like wasted space.

The galleries in the left column are the same as whats in the menu at the top

A user ignore link or something of the like

better control over flame wars. they were entertaining back in 1997

I'll second the private message system some one else mentioned

get rid of all annoying ads that pop up, pop down or pop anything. but at least you haven't used pop ups or pop unders.

How often to the alerts get sent out? Some times I get an email and it's hours after the article has been posted.

That's all for now. I do think the current color scheme is great. I wouldn't change it. Maybe change up the colors in the comment section a bit, but I love black and yellow.

For me I liked the last version a little more. Tis version seems to have a lot of pop ups. I know its revenue for the site but its annoying. Also I accessed the site from my blackberry the other day and I was unable to read the post. It was cut off and there was no way to scroll to the sides. Im not sure if that was due to the device or the website.

Agreed. I don’t mind the ads encircling the page being viewed but all the highlighted (hyperlink) words? It makes you not want to move your mouse around. This article even has a hyperlink for the word “tools”. Maybe these hyperlinks can be limited to specific products or items that endorse AutoSpies directly.

An "ignore comment" button.

Spell checker.

Preview post.

Fewer repeat articles (currently 3 of the same articles about the RS6, 2 about Corvette ZR-1, 2 about C63 AMG).

Fewer "worthless"articles. I don't give a flying whatever about what a survey says about the Dodge demon, or what tyres the LS600h will wear.

More "international" content, ie European car news (you have improved on this already)

That you are quicker to ban not people who make the occasional offensive comment but people who spam these boards with made up rubbish and propaganda.

-5 boost equals some sign that it sucks, + 5 equals some sign that it's great.

Autospies "Poster of the year" awards? Best post, most frequant poster, most highly rated, least highly rated etc?

That sounds like a list of complaints, but it's not. This is a really great site which is sometimes spoiled by the (illiterate and stupid) few.

Clearly, we need a feature that enables the group to "kick out" losers by consensus.

Might be a separate "suck button" that is designed to not so much like the boost button, but that we think that person SUCKS. And if they SUCK ENOUGH, then their comments get removed permanently. If this happens enough time, then their account gets deleted.

001,

What Autospies does best is update stories very regularly. What I would like to see on the homepage (where the manufacturer links are now) is a list of all the stories over the past week (exactly like at the bottom of a news thread).

That way, when you spend a long time writing up an insightful and researched post to a particular thread, it isn't completely 'lost' the next day as new stories push that thread into no-mans land.

Also, those 'growth percentage' threads about how many % a manufacturer has grown in the past month in some city or state -don't really need to know. I consider that more business than car news.

And I think the colour combo is iconic to Autospies, so let any changes in that regard be minor.

How about, instead of massive titles on the main page that make you go back four pages to find an article you want, typing in a keyword and getting articles relating to it appear?

As others have stated ad nauseum, please put in an edit function, spell check, etc.

If someone is boosted past -10 they should be banned. If not, we should vote to have that person banned, LOL. I can think of a few posters who would be gone immediately...

Hm. I must say the flame wars on this site are a guilty pleasure of mine, so you don't have to change that.

But what about, instead of having massive photo galleries in some of your articles (001), prolonging the loading process, why don't you put a link to the gallery? And filter out useless pictures of driveways that we don't care about in Southern California, please.

Refine the interface slightly- make it sleeker, more modern. Don't change the color scheme; there are no other sites like it. Also, the home page is slightly repetitive. You don't need three lists of the content that's on for a given day.

Def could use a spell check, because clearly everyone besides S4 does not have proper grammer and spelling.

Organize the galleries!!!!!! They make no sense!!! There are so many great pictures that get lost in them...I really dont care for the video section or the reviews, I might pay more attention to them if you intergrated them into the home page somehow. A general cleanup, couldn't hurt either, the colors are fine.

Well, I must admit that I find the pop-up text advertisements particularly annoying as I highlight text as I read on the computer. Suffice it to say that these pop-ups obstruct the text significantly.

I like Rupert’s idea of poster awards. Perhaps it would encourage certain posters to curtain their more impulsive rantings- although I am not holding my breath on that point.

I really don’t like the idea of popular voting on posters in so much as removing them from the boards. Despite what one hears, democracy is a horrible form of government and policy making, and when we, in the United States in particular, say “democracy” we don’t actually mean democracy. Ayn Rand hit it on the head when she called it “The dictatorship of the mob.” I simply don’t support such out of principle. Sometimes the truth is not popular, sometimes people and indeed the mob needs challenged. Granted, that challenge is often reciprocated with defensiveness. Democracy is simply the opportunity for the majority to be wrong.

The thing that I believe to be the primary strength of this site as opposed to others is that the administration and the owner participate in it. This blog is not faceless, and I think that is something which is to your exceptional credit 001, and I think that it says a lot that you ask for input in your product development. That is what I truly like about this site.

Agree on being banned just for a low boost score. I think using it in combination with a "Report this post" would be more effective. If some one is constantly being reported, it will raise their likely hood of being banned.

The Bad
Freedom of users to post any BS they want
MANY user postings are biased
MANY user postings are childish and stupid
MOST User postings have no added value to your website, it actually diminishes your potential
Name selection for 'new' edition is a biased name cosnidering you're trying to reach out to all auto enthusiasts

No, not ETHNIC bias at all. As users we are entitled to be biased to whatever we please, but this website, if it intends to cater to all cannot afford to be biased towards one OEM, and call their new edition 'M Edition' after BMW's M cars. Pretty soon you'll have just BMW fans participating.

First off, this site is great - love the boosting features, the flame-inciting titling and the user commentary.

Couple of suggestions:
Grammar lessons and IQ tests for certain questionable posters

Ability to bold or italicize font (although some people may abuse this feature)

Optional line for current automobile underneath username (I understand that a lot of people will lie, but it might still add a litte bit more insight)

Post size limitations (Please make post sizes generous but not endless. I do not appreciate entire posts of uesless articles in the commentary; a hyperlink would seem to be more effective.)

Favorite comments from others:
- Spellcheck/Edit feature
- Please, please, please remove the adtext that pops up when you roll your mouse over certain words
- Post pictures as a comment

Least favorite comments from others:
- Showing the number of comments a member posted does not adjust for useless comments and even encourages more inane, pointless posting - perhaps a weighted average boost rating next to the username?
- Intervening to stop flame wars (I find these quite entertaining)
- User-generated site banning (people or flamers from one side may just ban another poster for one poor comment, whereas a site moderator may ban the poster based on the recurring nature of his/her commentary)
