Suggestion: Change the 'event rating' system in the forums to split them into two categories, one for story-based events which are longer, planned and intended to have a strong story, and another for spontaneous shoot 'em ups.
Why should we implement this: Currently, according to the rating system, the best an event really can do is a 5/10. This means there is not very much depth for rating a shoot 'em up, for example a fantastic shoot 'em up would be a 5, whereas an average shoot 'em up would be rated a 4, realistically. Splitting these two rating systems allow people to be more critical and in depth of shoot 'em ups, and makes a 5/10 a lot better of a score.
How will this improve the Forums: I don't know if this will necessarily improve the forums but I think there's a pretty strong case for it improving the event team's morale and encouraging better shoot 'em ups where possible.
