But to me (my opinion) you aren't a *big* level until you reach lvl14.

What the hell is a nub? A begginer? An incompetent? You guys aren't even sure about it. You call people nubs when you feel superior to them but it just makes you look dumber.

Level 9 doesn't mean super-noob... it means you deposited 45 times.
Level 10 doesn't mean you are an amateur. It means that you had the patience to deposit during almost 3 months.
Level 11 isn't an improvement. It means that you spend more time on ng or that you signed-in earlier than level 10 users.
Level 12 doesn't make you a dedicated person on ng, see my previous post on the same page. I won't repeat myself.

Level 14 certainly looks cooler but it doesn't make more important. Depositing isn't the only thing on ng that shows that you are dedicated. Try to remember that.

I am going to add another one to that list that I think you should check out. www.flashregs.x3fusion.com. We could always use some more members, and more dedicated members at that. I hope to see you join up and post a little bit. It's great to see new people! Thanks!

A dedicated user can't be determined by the level alone. You have to look at the amount of Blams and Saves, whistle level, and review quality, (and post quality if its a BBS User too).

The levels are really just little goals you can reach after voting and depositing. Reviews, Blam/ Saves, and whistle aren't really looked at as much as the experience level is, yet those can sometimes determine a user's dedication, more could a lvl sign.

A dedicated user wouldn't do everything just for the stats and ranks.

Would you still vote and deposite on movies if there were no levels of experience what so ever? Would you post in the BBS if it didn't keep record of your post count?

ok I think you miss the point... I'm not saying lvl under 9 are n00b! Not at all!! What I'm saying is that it can be see as a n00b level. If I'm a lvl 10 I still can be a n00b and they might be some lvl2 that got more knowlegde then all of us, but beside me... he *looks* more begeinner than me around here? All that to say... it is see as new user level. However I don't feel about arguying... since there's no fact at all... only opinion so let's forget about that ok? never mind what I said.

I disagree. Anybody can get a silver whistle, it doesn't require dedication. And seeing as there's only one gold and one deity, the chances of a 'dedicated' user getting one of them are slim indeed

Would you post in the BBS if it didn't keep record of your post count?

Yes. I post because I want to communicate, not because of a number.

Well grats to those!

That's the main problem about internet. You don't see new users as people with an intelligence and an opinion that could be considered. You see users as accounts with an avatar. That's the first thing that you notice. It takes time for users to consider another user as someone they should respect, somehow the avatar always modify the way people think :(.

I prefer the level 20 hammer. A golden hammer doesn't look too real. Whenever you find a golden hammer irl, tell me and give it to me :P. I won't sell it. <-- OGM LIES :D

Yep, ShittyKitty ran it through his NGLister program. It's on the bottom of his NG page , and towards the bottom of p11 of the NG List thread.

There can be more then 1 gold.... it's restrictions are suppoesdly based on the Deity's whistle 'points'.

I dont know about Bronze and silver though, I think they always stay the same requirement.

Even if there can only be 'one' gold, if there is a tie, there WOULd be two, not one. Same with Deity.

Yes, true. But unless you're a review mod who can mark abuse and then delete the review (mentioning no names.... oops, what a coincidence), I still maintain that the chances of your average dedicated user are pretty slim.

Congrats on getting your crap through the portal, by the way =)

Look at his response of my review! He told me how he did it :D It's very simple. Now, I know how piconjo, sexy lesbians makers, piconjo's fans, etc. made it through the portal when they started. It was easier for piconjo after a while but not for the others.

I agree. Bitey is one of the coolest characters to hit the portal in a long time. Like the author said "... the movie is really meant to be an introduction to Bitey and what a complete bitch he is." I love it when he kicks the witch's flower pot off the porch. He was probably pissed she didn't invite him for tea.

Makes perfect sense to me. It's a good chance that someone pulling a stunt like that isn't watching the movies either. I usually vote one, two or three and on rare occasions four. The five button is reserved for boosting a protected submission's score and I honestly can't remember the last time I dumped a zero on something.

Those are some good questions -Noir- but I'm certain I'd keep coming back to Newgrounds even if those changes were implemented. Not once have I ever advertised my number of blam/protect points, experience ranking, etc. I've been here for over two years now and I've grown quite fond of this place and some of the users that frequent it.

My secret is that I have whistled hundreds of submissions since the whistle system was implemented. That never really was a secret since everyone already knew that.

How do you keep it up!? I don't get it, but very very nice work none-the-less. I am always in awe of people who have more than double what I have in total b/p points or close to it only in there Save Count! It's crazy!

Congratulations to D0GMA for 24k blams, MPA for 20k blams, Recon for 13 saves, and normal congrats to Whyte for 7VP and Specter for level 12.

Level says nothing to me about anyone. The only time I even look at the icons these days is when I'm scanning quickly through a thread looking for a particular person's post. There's more varieties of n00b than that cited by Sentinel or Snowy, in any case.

There is only one level 30 because there is not a tie for total XP. There is only one deity whistle because there is not a tie for total whistle points. There is only one gold whistle as there is only one person with enough whistle points to be above the cut-off for gold .... an analagous situation to there being only one level 29 due to only one person having enough experience to be 29.

Too long lol I made some prediction last year about how things were going to shape up in September last year on the Top 50 Blammer list, so presumably I did that in August. It might have been earlier lol
