I dont think thats fair... Maybe if there were one or two "switch files mods" who could make sure that if somebody switches files, its actually an update of their old flash...

that sounds fair to me. As long as one flash doesn't get the score that another flash earned.

Would you want to look over countless amounts of crap beings switched over? Who would take the time? We must remember, mods are real people too...

And also, I agree with -Superman- we ought to take away the ability to modify things - I believe the Barney Bunch has been using that to their advantage recently, and I'm afraid others will catch on...

That's why I like Wylo's idea, just have it go under judgement again.

woah, nomader, you got me really confused with the names. It was i who said the ability should be taken away, not superman. But i think you're agreeing with me. To tell the truth, i think it should just be taken away. If the author isn't careful to select the right file or a good one, it's their fault.

I have an idea.

Currently we can submit movies that we view to collections and we are able to submit them to the collection of certain series that have already been given a section within the Flash Series page.

I feel that we should be able to choose to submit movies that are part of a series that don't already have their own section in the flash series page to the flash series page itself.

Then if the series gets enough votes to be submitted to the flash series page it should get its own section within that page, so basically it will be the Newgrounds members that decide whether a series gets its own collection or not instead.

However there will obviously have to be enough movies already within the series for it to get it's own collection in the first place, I feel that 4 or 5 would be a sufficient number for the minimum amount required.

Hope that made sense.

mark abusive responses for reviews cause ppl are doing bad responces calling ppl fags

i want to mark em as abusive but i cant because usally they dont break the rules

and i agree with zzazzman dont forget this

drew pickles super movie

How 'bout we make a comic page here on NewGrounds, and so members like me (who dont have Flash Movie Maker) can do something for this site, instead of just reviews and what-not! I would really love that, it would give my name something!

Hey guys. I post a lot, and on a lot of different threads on the BBS...so i think i might have a good idea.

After i post on a bunch of different threads, sometimes i get confused upon which one i'm waiting for a response on, and which ones i'm no longer waiting on. Does this only happen to me?

A possible solution:

Maybe a button next to the thread saying "Watch This Thread"? Then, when you click that button, it either highlights the thread in the forum, or puts some sort of symbol next to it. And when it gets replied to, it changes color.

Maybe?

Just a thought. Tell me what you think with some responses. I'm just trying to think of ways to make NG even better! I'm not saying they're doing anything wrong. Also, I wasn't sure if this should have gone in the "General" or other forum...since it's ABOUT the forums, i thought i could post in the "Flash" one, 'cause i like the guys who hang around this one the most.

You could always save the page in your favourites section on internet explorer and keep it in their until you get the response, then you'll know which ones your waiting for a response to. An annoying way of going about it, I know, but hey it'd work.

For how many topics i'm in...i'd be swapping out favorites all day long. If NG doesn't give my idea a shot, i might end up doing it (In that, thanks for the idea...i do have my MOST watched stuff Favorited).

Another idea:

Any time someone quotes you, it makes the thread another color as well...that'd be pretty cool. Some people address me in threads i haven't seen in a LONG time, and i have no clue.

I'm just thinking of ways to make people's visit to NG even MORE pleasurable and easy/fun. I think it'd help me out in many ways as well. Doesn't seem that hard to do (Though i have no clue ;-) )

It's be too hard to do, a search programme would have to be set up that lists every NG members username and searches every post for that users username, it would take up too much server load and would also ahve to be constantly updated considering the rate new NG members sign up for an account.

Also non releveant things would show up. Like with me, Lauch has one of my quotes along with my username in his sig so every thread he posts in would show up for me in the colour. Also if a users username was say 'the' for example, pretty much every thread would show up in the other colour.

It just wouldn't work at all, it's a nice idea though, but it just wouldn't work, it'd be nice to ahve but it just isn't really neccesary.

Couple of quick notes:

1. About disabling being able to swap out files in the edit screen. That's never going to be disabled. Just because a few (and I do mean a FEW) people in the scheme of things decide to break the rules and risk their account by swapping out something with something completely irrelevant does not mean that we're going to punish the rest of the users who use the function to fix bugs, spelling mistakes and make other pertinent changes to their submissions.

2. About the bbs watch thing - if the bbs weren't such a minefield of posts (i.e. people only responded to things that they wanted to respond to, rather than just post drivel in most of the threads that they visit, with no intention of ever returning to those threads), I would be willing to expand on that idea. The sad reality is, though, that the majority of people who post to the bbs have no intention of ever returning to past posts that they have made - they've probably forgotten about what they have posted by the time they're onto the next topic. I know I'm generalising here and that there are users who want to return to posts and what not (I'm one of them), but I could run some really simple stats to confirm my suspicions.

One quick workaround for that is to just do an author search for yourself and see if the topics you've recently replied to have had had any followups.

Though i do think it'd be cool to have a "Thread Watch" button, your points are valid. I'd say more valid in the "General" forum, rather than the "Flash" forum though. In the "Flash" forum, people seem to help eachother out. Even if people reply to your "Watched Thread" with BS, it's fun to know!

-)

By the way...as difficult as the whole "Knowing when people quote you" thing sounds...ignore i said anything....

How about a a row/link for Random Collection or Collection of the week, could be based off of total views or votes reviews it had for that week something on the portal page so the viewers could access it like in this general area see jpeg...

This is a mistake I'd rather not go through even though either way the ban was not worth it.

It was most likely a four day ban, rather than three day. The bans end at around 4am, rather than 12 am.

Two, the destroy button needs to be altered, end of story.

No.

The moderators are free to delete individual posts, so that users are spared getting bans and they're also free to remove bans and/or shorten/lengthen bans. In cases where the topic starter is less to blame than the rest of the people, the topic starter can be freed of the ban altogether, or have their ban cropped to just a day or two.

I do not know if any of these problems have been mentioned before, but I just wanted to point out a problem I see occaisonally.

It is possible for a user to "break" the design by typing a message that is too long in their reviews or author replies/comments by typing lines that exceed the width of the design.

Not to point fingers but I noticed that a this user has done it in their replies to comments left on their work.

And also I have a suggestion. I know it is possible to mark a review as abusive, but what about the authors reply? I have seen several author replies that where extremely innapropriate and using terms like "n*gger", but I was reluctant to click the abusive reply button because I was not sure if that only applied to the review that was left by the other user and not the author themself.

The flagging of reviews as abusive only applies to the review itself not the author's response. Read the Review guidelines to see what reviews break the rules and should be marked as abusive.

It has been mentioned in here though that an extra button should be added, enabling us to mark the author's response as abusive as well, but currently that button isn't there. So no if an author writes an abusive response don't mark the review as abusive.

noticed a lot of topics recently about the jump from level 9 to 10. how about a message in red, or even a flash movie, explaining to the user who reaches level 9 as to why the jump from 9 to 10 is huge?

I just posted this in Wade's News thread, thought I may as well post it here too before I delete the image.

It wouldn't be too hard to add a link to the review guidelines, at the top of the Write A Review page, would it? Since that page has been updated recently, the code should still be fresh in James' mind.

Just wondering if anyone paid attention to that one.Also, was thinking maybe it could be made possible to flag a post.Instead of contacting a mod, how about a button that if enough people press in a certain period of time, the user that was flagged would no longer be able to post in that thread?

There's "pick of the hour" and "classic of the day" on the front page. Will that suffice?

When you view a deleted entry, it always says "This submission has been BLAMMED by our users." But what if the author just wanted it to be deleted? Perhaps for deleted entries, it could say "This submission has been removed by the author."

You know when people post a message on the frontpage, i think it would cool if there was a link to the last 50messages, because I enjoy reading some of them.

Meh - I personally don't spend money on sources in the Internet (sorry Wade... that includes stickers - although I'm tempted to buy some...) - and I have a feeling most Newgrounders are of the same attitude.

It would make for horrible abuse - could you imagine it?

People would flag posts abusive, just to get on people... it would be horrid.
Also, that's why we have around 40 mods to protect the people of NG XD

How about including approximate running time on submission pages of movies. I think it would be a very useful idea to use.
This would be very helpful for people who don't have much time on their hands. By putting this feature, it would help people make the best of their time.

Let's say that I only have 15 minutes to use the computer, and I want to watch a movie. I could either choose to watch DucktaleZ 3, which runs just over 15 minutes, or I could watch ONE GUN, which runs at 4 1/2 minutes. Both of them mention the approx. running time, so that's no problem. I choose to watch ONE GUN.

With other movies that don't show the running time, that can cause a problem. So why not require each page of a movie submission to show the approximate running time?

For the Top 50 (specificaly blams and protects)
Add one more column to show how many ( exp or b/p ) points they have gained since the last update.
This will easily show which users are inactive and will help users trying to move up a clearer picture of how long it may take.

I think there needs to be a date of when the review response was made. Recently, I've had some new responses and one response I didn't know which review it was for. With a date of when the response was made, I'd know which response was made since some of the recent responses I've had were for reviews I made months ago. Some people with a lot more review responses than me might have the same problem.

I have an idea that I think everyone would appreciate.

You know the monthly voting thing right? Well, I was thinking, would it not be possible to set up a page in your grounds gold menu that would let you check up on all of your past top 5/10 votes for the months gone by?

Purpose? It would let someone tell the forums who they voted for in the forums when such topics appear every month, and of course, it would provide links to the flash as a sort of "permanent privite favourites" thing.
