Building on my initial few examples that i set out in the moderator post, here is my plan if I were to become moderator...
A more structured race review
As this is probably the main purpose of the forum i think this should be a lot more detailed and structured. This would be in the form of a sticky, to be deleted say a week after the race has ended. It would be created friday/early saturday of the race weekend. The sticky would include the following sections for each and every race review:
:arrow: Race name, circuit name, circuit facts, circuit lap record, a link to the circuit website, time of qualifying, time of race and any relevant TV coverage that may be available.
:arrow: Any relative news that affects this particular race meeting
:arrow: Qualifying positions, times and significant events that have occured during qualifying and/or free practice
:arrow: Possible race strategies that may play an important role in the race
:arrow: The actual race review including important and decisive events that occured (with pics?)
:arrow: Full and final positions at the end of the race with any driver penalties stated and all DNF's shown
Stat tables for qualifying/race
After every qualifying and race session, stats would be updated. Stats would include qualifying times for each driver. Race times, positions, no. of stops, fastest lap etc. This would probably best implemented as a seperate sticky, to be deleted after a week.
A more detailed constructors and drivers standings table
This would be as a permenant sticky, to be updated after every race weekend.
:arrow: The constructors table would just contain the name of the team and points
:arrow: The drivers table would contain total points and the position that driver finished each race
Note on tables: As tables are pretty hard to read in forums, I suggest the best way of making this data redable would be for me to create a spreadsheet and take a screen dump of that spreadsheet. I would advise this method as apposed to a direct link to the spreadsheet as excel always takes ages to load, but this could be done if preferred
A technical sub forum
This would be, if possible a sub forum for members to ask and post different technical aspects of F1 related to tyres, chassis, aerodynamics, car set ups, what all the engineers/mechanics do and F1 rules etc.
As a frequent buyer of magazines "Racecar engineering", "RaceTech" and "F1 Racing" I can scan relevant F1 sections which contain more detail than just about any F1 website can provide although its not so complex that you have to be an engineer to understand it.
News/Multimedia Sub forum
As it works well in the porsche forum i suggest this combined topic is taken into the "new" F1 forum too. Although i suggest it is made a sub forum if possible? News would contain any relevant information about driver signings, new rules, new cars etc. Multimedia would include any F1 related photos, sounds, videos, articles and TV coverage (If jabba is allowing all members access to ITV coverage?).
Rumours Sub Forum
As a lot of F1 is rumours, which is to do with the secrecy with which the teams and governing bodies operate I think we should have a rumours sub forum. Also becuase a lot of the posts made in the current F1 forum are rumours and not neccesarily fact. When posts in the rumour forums become fact, they will be moved to the news section.
Other sections such as historical, facts and figures, and trivia sections etc i dont think will be needed as the majority of posts will be made in the above sub forums. However if many of these types of posts are being made, a couple of sub forums will be easily made although i don't see many of these posts occuring.
Best of luck to all potential moderators, i hope you take me into consideration
