Hello everybody!

There is a lot of threads with ideas for CiM. That's because the game have huge potential. So, to avoid duplication (which already exist a lot) and to trace the popularity of those ideas I decided to create a space for those ideas in Google Moderator, since a forum is not the best place for it. It's hard to track and read and vote in all ideas.

I got some of the ideas in this forum and I posted my self, just to start the engine. So, if your idea is there with my name that's because I like your idea. I don't want to steal ideas. I think the author of the idea doesn't matter, but if you don't like, tell me and I will remove it from the system.
If your idea is not there is because I didn't see or I didn't like it. If I add an idea I automatically vote on it, so feel free to add yourself.

Before you go there, here are some observations:

1) The system have a really good way to recognize duplicate ideas. So, pay attention in the warnings after posting your idea because duplication is not good.

2) You can reply ideas. Do not use as discussion thread but as improvements to the existing idea or to post links (to help understand the idea) or to put ideas on how to implement that idea.

3) The idea of this is to help the devs to see what is more popular. But keep in mind that they have absolutely nothing to do with it. There is nothing that says they will apply those ideas (in expansion, sequel, DLC, patch or whatever) or that they want to use that as a guide.

4) Pay attention to the category. There are campaign, in-game and map editor improvements.
Known issues is a category specifically to post issues that ALREADY exist and people already know about them. So it's possible to make a priority on the most annoying ones to fix first. If your game crash, there is not the place to put that, because its your particular problem. Use the forum. (Examples of known issue: "Buses running over capacity after breakdown").

5) Don't make questions there. That is what the forum is for.

The only problem is that you need a google account. But you can vote anonymously. The registration assure is only 1 vote per person. I believe is the best system.

So, here you go, have fun :D

Can I vote for the idea of using Google Moderator?

Yes.

Great idea! I think someone else had a similar idea a while back (here), but yours seems like it might be easier to navigate :)

Oh that's true. I completely forgot about that! Then what I did is a duplicate.

It's a bit different. First it has the possibility to vote more than 1 time in the same idea, I think, just cleaning the browser cookies. Google Moderator also have automatic translation of ideas. Of course, the best is to post everything in english, but the one you said I can see things in french.
Third there is no filter for duplications.
Fourth in GModerator is easier to vote, since you only see the ones you didn't vote.
Well, it's improvements but what speedking34 did is pretty good. Might continue using that or transfer the suggestions to the new interface.

I think the problem was lack of publicity :) Because it's definitely a better way then posting ideas in the forum.
I don't know about the situation of that tool, but maybe it's abandon because people don't feel that the devs are looking at it, so in the official forum is guarantee they will at least see your suggestions.
Some promotion might help, like a sticky thread, a link in the wiki and other fan sites. Otherwise might just die like the other one.

Hey, using google moderator is a great idea, definitely better than the tool I had coded! so we can transfer the suggestions from mine to yours. My plan was to develop it further at some point, as I was using it as a "showcase" for a job I was applying to, however since then I got the job so I have no real motivation to keep improving on it.

How does this work, is there a filter that only shows ideas i haven't voted on?

I didn't express myself very clearly. You always see all ideas, but when you click in a category, there is an upper panel with the ideas you didn't vote. When you vote the other one comes automatically. When there is no more new ideas the panel disappear. This way you just need to access google moderator and click on the categories and read only the ones you didn't vote. No need to search for or read all again.

For some reason I thought was a standard section. But since you are not seeing in your Google language so it isn't.
Maybe google created that topic as an example and I forgot to remove.
I removed now.

Is there a way to get things removed from the Brainstorm, or at least put into a "dealt with" category, once they have been implemented in Cities in Motion by the devs (patch/expansion, etc)?

For example, Upgradeable Stations were implemented in 1.0.19.

Yes there is. If you are a moderador. You can "Flag as inappropriate", then I will review and remove in this cases, or give me your google e-mail and I will promote you to moderator.
