| My idea, would this work and any advice on software/script
Hello
I've recently purchased a domain name chiefconstable .co .uk
I was thinking of developing it but first would like your advice to see if you guys think it would be worth while (or not!)
As most of us know a "Chief Constable" is the highest ranking police offic ers in your local force. (I think there's about 30-40 different forces in the UK)
I was thinking about making a question and answer website, where you could choose your force area, e.g Humberside, then write a post telling the Chief Constable about a particular problem, e.g youth nuisance, anti social behaviour in a particular area etc.
Other people can then answer giving you advice. In a perfect world, I would like a police member for that area to make a response or at least take note of the complaint.
Script/Programming.
I was thinking about using a simple Forum software like vbulletin where I could setup a sub forum for force area. This would also help by allowing only registered posters to post and confirming email addresses during the registration process.
I know using v-bulletin theres an option where you can automatically send an email to a particular email address when a post is made. Most police forces have contact info on their websites, I could maybe add that to let them know theres a new post for them to consider... (with there permission)
Do you think a forum software would be the best option here?
advice
This is really a quick plan, not too indepth but pretty simple. I think people do like to complain and winge these days, especially about the police service.
Income
This is the stumbling block, I'm not sure what users of this type of website would be interested in. Vbulletin is not cheap either!
Any advice or feedback would be apprciated Good and BAD!!
Many thanks
Mally
