Seeking your thoughts on this fun script

    Domain: Pillock dot com
    (don't bother visiting - there's nothing there at present)

    I've had this domain for ages and not done anything with it
    but am now about to put it out there....mainly because I'm bored
    and have nothing to do for the next 2 weeks

    OK...for non UK readers a Pillock (in the UK at least anyway)
    is a stupid or annoying person; simpleton; fool

    What shall I do with it
    I thought I'd use it with a voting script
    whereby viewers can nominate their friends, enemies, anybody
    to be ...a pillock

    This is the sort of flow I had in mind....(see below)
    Any suggestions?

    ====================================================
    Pillock of the moment
    shows the latest 20 nominations
    (ordered in most recently submitted)

    Pillock of the week
    displays the 20 highest nominations for the past week
    (ordered with highest number of votes in previous week)

    Pillock of the month
    displays the 20 highest nominations for the past month
    (ordered with highest number of votes in previous month)

    Pillock of the Year
    (ordered with highest number of votes in previous year)

    User nominates a pillock
    User must register and leave:-
    name;
    username; (displayed)
    email;
    name of person being nominated;
    email of person being nominated;
    picture of person being nominated;
    (if no picture then standard one is displayed in results)
    reason for nomination - maximum 200 words.

    On submit script checks if that name has been nominated before
    if it has ask user to proceed to that page to vote or continue and build a new page (but if it is a duplicate submission admin will probably disallow it)

    User validates submission via email link;

    Admin can add/edit/authorise/delete any entry (and add pictures)

    Admin needs to authorise entry before it is published;

    On authorisation by admin, user gets an email saying it it live
    Nominee gets email saying "Congrats...you've been nominated" etc)

    Viewers can then vote on the pillock
    from one to five "stars"

    One star is "minor pillock"
    Two stars is "potential pillock"
    Three stars is "probable pillock"
    Four stars is "up and coming pillock"
    5 stars is "Prize Pillock"

    Viewers will not be able to vote for same "pillock" twice
    (unless they change their IP address)

    Nominees (Pillocks) can rebut their nomination
    (or ask for their nomination to be deleted)
    by completing a form

    ====================================================

    I just thought I'd run it by the guru's on here to see if you have
    any suggestions I may not have thought about.
