i could allow only certain people to PM me, without all the useless crap flooding my box.

simple add all the mods and admins to you'r contacts list and go to your personal profile. there should be a box thats not checked that says

[] recieve pms from contacts only.

check it and it should work

I'd like to see some more effective orientation options in the 'Thanks for voting!' screen.
At present, you only have three options:

"Where would you like to go?

-Back to this submission
-Random portal entry
-Portal front page

If one was browsing the under judgment flash (as many, many people do), wouldn't it be far easier to have a next/previous entry button?
The system works really well on Retrogade, where you have the following options after voting:

Back to *-this submission-* | Random Photoshop | Photoshop Index
Previous Entry | Next Entry

If the 'next/previous submission' buttons were to be installed, it would save people having to back to the portal page, and then to the next submission, saving a whole page load, and perhaps lowering a little bit of server usage (not that I'm sure it's much of a problem anymore ^_^)

So... yeah. Opinions, comments?

How about a list of moderators, and everyone who have any authority doing like review banning, who clears the pnding Audio lists and so on?

Basicly WHO´S GOT WHAT TASK ON NG?!
Also, perhaps it would be a good idea if the moderators themselves could set themselves as "active" or "nonactive", or perhaps a scale from 1-10 of how active they are. If somone is going away, then the users would know this, and wont send a moderator who´s gone any pm/e-mail with questions and such.

This way it would be easy to link to the correct page and not just say "e-mail wade", wich in some cases could be wrong.

I posted this idea in the Your Changes For The Audio Portal! in the AF thread as well, since there have been quite some confusion when it comes to trying to get hold of anyone responsible for questions that have arisen.

basicly we all turn to Denvish, but when he cant/is offline/away... whos to turn to? We need more audio mods + audio bbs mods.

New collection: trailers

Due to the fact that there are plenty of quality trailers and teasers around, it would be a good idea to have.

Examples:
Fallen Angel: Teaser
Story of Khale Trailer
Dendyn Dynasties
Sonic X CC Trailer

(Sorry, I know this is an old post, but...)

Can't do that.

If you could view the stats on the whistle, it would allow for corruption, such as competition among the users to have the highest amount of points, and the administrators would be busy as hell deleting and unflagging everything.

The author would have to include that in their Flash themselves.

That would be basically stealing. If you want a free Flash creator there's LiveSwif. It's extremely poor though.

It's actually against the Flash Terms and conditions to make something with Flash that serves the same purpose as it.

But that would be cool. It would be good for a lot of people starting out.

Response to Ideas for Newgrounds' Evolution Mk2 2006-08-03 19:38:20


each user has their own page...sorta like myspace i guess...

so each person can add whatever flash movies/games to their pages

I'm sure this has been suggested before (especially with the recent addition of audio reviews in our profiles), but there should be more audio related stats in profiles, like:
Favorite musicians
Favorite songs
Total downloads
Audio batting average.
And if these are added, the profiles could maybe be split into 2 sections, one for flash stats, and the other for audio stats.

Also, people here joke a lot about serious topics that don't really fit into politics, so what about a serious discussion forum to replace the politics forum? Hopefully there would be less "LOLZ RELIGION SUX" topics.

Response to Ideas for Newgrounds' Evolution Mk2 2006-08-04 17:55:55


I don't know if these have already been suggested, but here they are.

Put in an option to search topics for specific words. This actually came to me while I was writing this post. I thought "It would be helpful to search through the text of this topic to see whether my ideas have been suggested or not." and I wasn't about to look through 39 pages of messages, so I'm suggesting this. As for specifics, I suggest that it apply to one topic at a time, and replace the "search the NG BBS" bar while you're in the topic.

Refine the ability to search for Flash movies. Specifically, make that program only return files with all the words searched for, instead of any of them. This will allow much more specific searches. If users want to search for more than one word, they can search more than once; this change will increase helpfulness much more than it would reduce it.

Also, allow the flash search program to detect 3-letter words. I myself would very much like to be able to search the Portal for the word RPG. I can understand ignoring 1 or 2 letter words, but 3 letters is too limiting. There are a lot of useful 3-letter words, like RPG and cat. If you think this might cause problems with people searching for the word "the" and the like, you could make a list of specific words for the search to ignore.

i don't know about you but when you start off its hard to tell wether some1 is a mod or not. i was thinkin mabye something simple like say i wanted to click on toms profile, the letters saying "Tomfulp" would be red or say i clicked on "Maus" it would be green etc, it would just be kinda helpful to have i guess

Things that do my head in.

1)After I review I always seem to get logged out.
2)When I submit audio I have to log in again and then once it's uploaded again I'm logged out.
3)Having to go through my account options to click the link to view my profile.

1. when you look at the "users with your movies on their favorites list" only the first page works , there is no way to get to page 2 - needs to be fixed

2. review score and points score should be added into one average and show a percentage and that should be the totall movie score

example: a movie recieves a 2.64/5 score , plus a 7/10 review average so add 7 to 2.64
would average at 61.4% - and with tweaking to the numbers a little it could be a an extremly better voting system

Just like the flash graveyard, maybe we can make a user graveyard. It can show how long the user lasted, the reason for deletion, and everything else in his/her public profile.

That would defy the point of having them deleted, the point of deletion so there is no record of the user.

This has probably been said before...
Since there will never be an edit button (which is good), I think that people should have the option to "Preview" their posts before they actually get posted. That would be a nifty little feature

Well I had an idea. Something called NG Points. The idea is you earn points for various things on ng, such as an awesome scoring flash, decent scoring flash, winning an award,doing so many b/p's, reviewing (flash and audio). And like if you submit a flash and its either blammed or not decent or awesome you dont get anything, and I would add posting to get points but it would result in spamming, i could tell. And the big thing is to be able to buy NG gear, stickers, alien hominid merchandise, special bbs privilages, etc.

feedback plz.

I have a little "idea" that might've been suggested already, but: 39 pages = long.

It's not really an idea, more like suggestion, but the characted limit in the audio portal, for title as well as for the comments, is a pain in the ass. Solutions:

-Making the system like the flash portal. A con is that people may like fast browsing trough songs, and this system would be less effective for this purpose.

-Making the text labels longer, aka just allowing longer stuff.

I think it would be useful if Flash authors could see a bar graph of how people voted on their submissions. Example:
Voted 0: _4
Voted 1: ___12
Voted 2: _______________56
Voted 3: ________________________75
Voted 4: _________________________________________2
11
Voted 5: OVER A MILLION! OMG!

I don't know a lot of code besides actionscript, but it seems like this sort of feature would be pretty easy to implement and it would give artists a better idea of the "LOVED IT":"HATED IT" ratio on their work. It might not even need any new variables for each submission depending on how the current averaging system works.
