Flashes can get awards, but i think for award, author should get some experience points. For example:

Daily feature
Place - 500 Exp. Points
Place – 450 Exp. Points
Place – 400 Exp. Points
Place – 350 Exp. Points
Place – 300 Exp. Points

Weekly feature
Place – 1000 Exp. Points
Place – 800 Exp. Points
Place – 700 Exp. Points
Place – 600 Exp. Points
Place – 500 Exp. Points

Weekly users‘ choice – 1000 Exp. Points

Review crew pick – 250 Exp. Points

Underdog of the week – 100 Exp. Points

Turd of the week – 0, or 10 Exp. Points

It's a nice idea, to get exp points, but I think, but that's my opinion, that it will be unfair for users who doesn't make any flash. Those users who's making flash then having more chance to get exp points + 10 exp points each day, while the other users, who's is not making any flash, will only get 10 exp points each day. If you keep some balance with the flashmakers and nonflashmakers, it will be a good idea, but still a badside about.
And I think, if this will come in the future, my prediction will be, more people will put some flash in the portal + most of them will be crap (maybe there will be a few good ones) + chance of mass voting --> only for exp points. But that's what I think.

Why not redirect people back to the exact same page people were viewing? It's a lot more efficient for people, rather then searching for the user, click on, open the user's review window, etc. Maybe a small thing, and it's time saving. :)

I just hit backspace to go back a page

It's the same if you're browsing reviews for a flash by rating. Once you make one as abusive it sorts them all back into date order.

They should stay in the order you put them in.

More Review Support
The review support should be that people who are a reliable reviewer should be able to have their reviews mainly as the review, and a copy of the review should be submitted to a new review forum and should be titled “Game/Movie’s Name – Review by Users Name”.

Team / Collab Usage
For flash developing team’s this would be a great way to improve the standard and way your team will operate. For example, you sign up as a team and then give every select members of the team by searching for them. Members of the team will have they’re on page with personal development forum and a sub-profile for viewers of the public. When the team submits, the team’s name will appear and you can click on it to find who is involved. Your team will also be ranked, and will be mentioned on everyone in the team’s profile.

Better Ranking System
For everyday users this would be great. Better ranking system would operate completely down to “Reputation” and “Flash Score”. With reputation levels being more and more extreme. And prizes unlocking personal avatars (yeah, that’s right) and badges, etc. The flash score system will generate to be a complete success if it operates by having two Portals, “Gold” and “Lite”. A new submitting user can only submit to the Lite portal , or if a user is under a 7/10 ranking for example. This will be remove all crappy entries and still give new users a chance of becoming the best even though they can’t do much.

I think it wuld be great if The "search Ng!" thing showed stuff lined up in order, by score name, etc, in case I've seen something i dont remember the whole name of, I dont need to look through a 4-5 pages list of things i dont want to see
Is this doable??

Hi,

I don't know how much relevant is my suggestion at this time in this thread because it's getting a little bit old! (1 year old)

I would like to suggest that, on the BBS, we could quote topics by usefulness just like we are able to do it as for review... That way, good topic would stay on top while bad topic would go down. That would also, permit some kind of management of the BBS by users and relieve the mods from lots of job!

Also, as a second suggestion, on the BBS, it would be great to have a search engine or something to search inside topics! That way, we could find easily inside a long thread if what we say isn't already said! As an example, I really don't know if what I'm saying right now isn't already said as the thread is about 30 pages long and I'm too lazy to read all 30 of them!

I have one suggestion, i dont think it will take to much bandwitch, maybe adding a time of the day the flash in flash portal was added, in GMT prefferably.
that way, i feel you can know wheter its any use to vote for a submission, or at least know about how long it has been there, i dont really remember the reason exactly, but i think it would be one of those things that its good to know is there at least... for example, a friend of you tells you he has added sumthing, you try to find it, but the portal is flooded with submissions (for example in the christmas time, loads of flash then) BUT, he tells you he added it about 10:00 am, then, you just go check for the timestamp for 10:00 am (9:00 am for me, since im in -1 hour GMT) and just check those, couse if he tells you at school, the name of that flash will be hard to remember... just an idea, i dont think it will take that much bandwich or anything, just put it on the little "floating ad" that pops up when you scroll over the name :D
oh, and would someone please tell me what ya think about my idea?
mail: erlandom@hotmail.com
mark your mail with "your suggestion" or sumthing, couse i get loads of spam >.<
anyway, thats my idea =)

another idea i got!
i dont know if this will take much bandwitch, but it would be nice anyway.

how about a search engine for users of NG, or maybe the possibility to click on your buddys on buddy list to view their profile :D
just throwing out ideas :D
anyway, as before, contact me by e-mail if you like\dislike this idea, or, you could do sumthing i just realised is possible, reply to this reply :D
didnt know that was possible before now :S

sry bout posting another in such short time space, but i just got 2 more ideas! (and just realised i cant edit my posts >.<)

1. maybe as another award thingie on the awards of flash, like the over 1 million views award and stuff, an award saying sumthing like "Is\Was frontpage"
2. this is for the forum, maybe add a reply button at the bottom at the forum pages :D

anyway, i think this is gonna be my last for today :D

Something needs to be updated:

When you deposit your exp., you go to that screen saying you deposited and stuff. But on the image next to the text it shows the image of the old NG tank, I think it should be updated with the new NG tank. Same thing with the NG tank on the bottom right of BBS.

They'd have to implemetn some php whcih made the bar bigger for every charachter. Shouldn't be too hard, but a bit fiddly.

I hope this hasn't been said yet. But, I THINK it would be useful if you could have a 'quick reply' at the bottom of each BBS topic so that those with slow internet don't have to wait for so long to get to a reply page and it makes it easier to post.

Dunno if said.

How about a "Subscribe to this Artist" Button on all audio subs and flash animation sites so you recieve a link via email whenever the artist submits somthing new. That way if your interested in a series you know when the next installment comes out right away, also keep up to date with anything else you like.

Again, don't know if it was said, seems like a painfully obvious idea but I didn't see it after skimming through.

One that's already in existance (at least in the flash portal), too. As long as you're set to receive e-mail updates (via your grounds gold settings) any time an author that's in your favourites list uploads something, you get an e-mail notification. See attachment.

I think that the 50 limit on mods should be increased. Since I'm noticing a lot of new people posting the same things over and over again and we're having quite a few inactive mods right now so... why not increase the limit from 50 to say 60 or 65?

There is no limit as to how many mods there can be.

Didn't know that. Well, can you increase them since there are some inactive mods? Also, can you move the search bar? I'm seeing so many topics asking the same question over and over.

Mods can delete posts.

Also on the BBS is needed uncensored words security like:
nigga - changes to - black person
or
nigga - changes to - nig**

The N bomb is blocked anyway.

Just got this Error and thought this would an appropriate place to post it.

Portal Anomaly (The Time Freeze Remote):

Some of the database queries failed when the author uploaded this submission. We have attempted to fix the errors, but have failed doing so this time around. This is NOT the author's fault and the problem will be rectified shortly.

If you are the author of this submission, please DO NOT attempt to re-upload this submission. This problem should self-correct itself shortly and your submission will make it onto the site.

I'm not sure why... It's not an idea for anything...

Although there is a great deal of irony over the failure of the script and the title of the submission!

And it did.

Alright calm down.

I just hadden't seen it before and new you read this thread.

Here's a strange idea.

A setting that allows you to see all the topics you created. You can implement it into the search bar.

Here's another idea:
You could announce some users on the BBS who did some bad things and why. Some other users will possibly read it and decide if they are guilty or not. If innocent, we could pretend that the case never happened and they could get some experience points as apology for the trouble. If guilty, then the decision of banning that user is up to the admins and/or mods.

This is kind of going against Wade's recent news post but, I think if it were implemented it'll be able to keep track if submissions were being mass voted in or not much easier.

Idea: Only users with accounts may vote on Under Judgement portal submissions.

A "Favorite Audio" and "Favorite Audio Artist" section in the profile?

I think the following information should be added somewhere on either the submit flash page, or somewhere on newgrounds:
If two or more of your flashes are blammed in the same day, you must wait 14 days before submitting new flashes.

I only say this because it happened to me a few weeks ago. I had a few movies that I had worked on, and they both got blammed.

I know it's a good thing to stop people from posting crap movies over and over again!

But it would be nice to know, and the only way you can find out is after the fact. I spoke to a forum mod and e-mail newgrounds about it. I don't think it's asking too much.

Can you say "exploitation"? Noobs and dickheads would try to exploit that like crazy.

My suggestion: Allow deletion of own Flashes. Like if one your Flashes is hurting your BA badly or if it's giving you a bad reputation, or you regret posting it for some other (possibly even personal) reason. That sounds a lot better than having to get Wade to delete it for you, not to mention it would save Wade time. ;)

That's a bad idea. If someone found out your password they could delete your flashes.

Also if your flash is featured on the toons/games/collection page, if you deleted it yourself it would leave NG with broken links.

I don't know if this was mentioned before.
There are badges for the total stats for blam/protect points.
Why not for each stat (blam and protection) have their own badges, that are different from each other.
The badges for the total stats remains the same.

i dont know if ull like mi idea
but i think it would be good if submissions get more than 5 zeros then they should be blammed, or alert the person that made it, but thats just mi oppinion...
