About editing submissions
For example i suggest to make
// Edit Files
and
// Edit Information
buttons.

because if i want to change details of my movie i have to click browese and search for a .swf file, also the same with icon.

It says on the page "leave blank if you dont want to change the file"

Ideas from me :)
Put the donate button back next to the wishlist one on the flash pages and in profiles.
Emails are missing from profiles no ? Put them in
More Instant Message programs (MSN aswell as AIM)
Allow .fla's to be attached aswell as images (useful for collabs)

Thats all i cant think of atm.

i have this idea.
you have to have an account in order to vote and mark reviews as helpful/unhelpful or abusive.
Many users logoff their account to mark their own reviews as helpful, especially when they are abusive.
This idea can encourage people to create an account here so they can vote and do other stuff.

We all know about the "Top 2000 exp users and other special users get to vote for the best of the month" rule.

But I was thinking this:

It could also be open to the top 2000 b/p'ers as long as they've been around on NG for at least a year. Can this be possible?

Top 2000 b/p'ers isn't THAT impressive a stat...but I agree. I thought it was weird that some people with high levels who had a Portal Security Badge were able to vote on the monthly and I was top 600 and I didn't. Maybe if it was top thousand, but the idea sounds good.

Even if it doesn't apply to me anymore... : |

yeah so i think the top list should be with full list that there all million players so u can see how many u need to be about 10000 or something like that isnt it good idea cos it boring to watch 50 and 2K only!

I have absolutely no clue what you just said. :-/

Now that the upload limit is lifted to 10mb, I think we may need to alter the voting bar wait a little.

The MAXIMUM wait should be roughly 50 seconds, and still 1 second for each 100kb, it's undeniable that we are going to get many 9mb submissions that are unstreamed, unoptimised audio and there is no point in waiting one and a half minutes just to vote 0.

I strongly agree. I don't want to have to wait a huge time for uncompressed crap. It's bad enough just waiting for 3 meg flashes to load, and them ending up being poorly-drawn stick figures. :-(

completly agreed the worst are those flashes with a random picture and siezure inducing backround with load yelling noises

I have absolutely no clue what you just said. :-/

I sayd that the top lsit should be for all players in NG!

I'm gonna bring back my old ideas that were somehow forgotten . . .

NEWGROUNDS AUDIO FORUM VOICE ACTING STICKY:

A sticky linking everyone to different voice acting resources (microphones, recording programs, places to find them), seeing as there is always one "I NEED A VOICE ACTOR" thread in the forum, this could seriously make everyones life a lot easier. Either a new one can be made, or the existing sticky can be altered very easily.

THE NEWGROUNDS LOUNGE FORUM:

The Gaming Section was thought of many times, but why not a lounge (Or alternatively, the Entertainment forum)? A place for people talk about entertainment, like TV, books, music, Movies, and of course, video games. This would virtually absorb half of the general forum, and make threads live much longer, and have less of a chance of having 6 topics for one game or movie.

I think it would be a lot easier to find flashes that were rated one million if there was a section for it.

I have a suggestion, a computers and tech forum section.

there is a programming section you know

I have a comment.

I believe the post edit buttons, smilies, and polls may sound like a good idea, but it will make newgrounds lose it's soul. I like the BBS clean and simple. And it should stay that way.

It's gotten to the stage now where portal mods are required. Portal mods would check the flags for flagged submissions in the portal and could decide to either delete them then and there if they break rules, or release them back into the portal if they don't.

This is required due to the fact that certain users are flagging non-rule-breaking submissions for no reason other than the fact that they dislike the author.

Assigning mods to check the flags would result in unfairly flagged submissions being placed back in the portal much more rapidly, as sometimes they can remain under administritive review for months.

Also perhaps the portal mods could be given the ability to give users garbage whistles, assuming that user flags a submission for something which clearly isn't an infringement of the rules, such as not liking the author.

Totally agree with the whole post. Afro, myself, and others have had severe problems with this in the past, and Wade can't always be free to help people out when he has other things to do.

This is something that should seriously be considered.

I agree with that part, too. More roles for them would be liked, too.

Just like with your "Hitler: ATWI80D" series?

So I've noticed.

Well, maybe garbage whistle sounds a little too harsh. We can go with that or simply a downgrade of your current whistle level.

My suggestion is in light of the forum rules change where they banned story threads
A story and RPG forum just for story threads away from the general forum and for RPG threads I come to the forums mostly for the story threads and I would like to see them stay on the forums even if it is away from the general board

We know we can't do anything to control author's responses, but some people are just plainly abusing it. Example. So what should we do, keep hitting the 'no' button below it so we don't see the review nor the comment? Or should we be able to flag abusive comments?

If we can flag offensive comments, there will be hundreds of users abusing this privelage and they are going to use it to track down Star Syndicate members, kittykrew members, illwillpress, etc.

Example.

Some authors can be assholes.

So what should we do, keep hitting the 'no' button below it so we don't see the review nor the comment?

i think you mean "abusive", and if we click on it, we are flagging the review, not the responce,

Or should we be able to flag abusive comments?

Nope, if someone leaves an abusive review, the author wouldn't have a chance to return the favor, so the only responce the author can have is, "This is an abusive comment."

hmm... well i don't think anyone would realy care i would rather have a mean responce then have no responce at all

This has probably been suggested thousands of times, but there needs to be some way of telling us we have PMs. I always forget to check mine, and when I do my PMs are days old.

I agree wholeheartedly with this idea. I think a moderation team would be the best way to handle it; moderators could vote on whether a submission broke rules, and a decision would be made after five votes (thus removing possibility of a tie). That way, one moderator wouldn't have sole responsibility for the outcome of a flagging.

Having a moderation team would definitely speed up decisions that presently take months.

Also perhaps the portal mods could be given the ability to give users garbage whistles, assuming that user flags a submission for something which clearly isn't an infringement of the rules, such as not liking the author.

Well, if negative whistle points were assigned upon the release of a flash, that would accomplish the same thing. If further punishment is merited, I would think that would fall on the admins to dish out.

I get an email notification if I don't check my PMs. Make sure your email address is correct in your personal profile.

Another suggestion: The increased speed at which submissions are being blammed is all fine and good, but it almost completely removes the possibility of useful reviews being written for low-quality submissions. I used to try to write useful reviews and help people avoid making the same mistakes again, but now that submissions are blammed within a minute or two, I'm unable to get a review submitted before the submission is moved to the obits -- and once that happens, the review bounces.

I appreciate the need to keep the portal cleaned up, but maybe it's time to allow posthumous reviews -- at least for a short period of time after a submission has been blammed.

I would like to suggest a "Preview Post" button, so that you could see what your post looks like before posting(obviously). It would help if you were posting an image, because, as a sig maker, I sometimes post a bad version of a sig, and that results in multiple posts attempting to fix it.
I don't see anything unreasonable of a real downside to this idea, but if someone would like to point something out about how this may not be such a good idea, then I'd be glad to try and see it from your point of view :)

How about an auto resizer for when you post images. I mean most users don't have/don't know how to use photoshop or whatever, to resize their pictures. Could save loads of trouble for people, not to mention time. It could also be implemented in profile pictures.

Pherhaps something graphical.

A simple Idea really. Could be useful for the art forum as well.

I think that they should have a sports forum on this website, I'm sick of having to go and clubs and not talking nothing on the same thing. Sports forum or Games forum would be nice.

I would like the flash portal to erase my history of uploaded flash, so that i can resubmit my older cartoons again, without making significant changes. it would be nice if the portal kept that information for a certain period of time, like say,,, 2 months, then erased it, giving us another chance with our cartoons.

Destroy Clubs and Crews. It is all spam, and the bandwith could be used elsewhere. Go take a look in any C&C thread, and I guarantee you will find at least one spammer.
