How about making the random audio portal link actually clickable somewhere?

The random entry link already exists, so why isn't it clickable somewhere?

You shouldn't have to type it in, in order to get it to work, you should just be able to make a simple click.

Unless of course it is there and I just happen to be overlooking it, I've looked really hard though, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

It should need a spot, but how lazy are some people to type in /random?

So I've noticed, when marking reviews of a single person, when you click abusive, you are then sent to the reviews of that submission, rather than the reviews of the person you just flagged. This makes it particularly tedious to flag many reviews of one person, because you have to click back, then refresh, and etc.

Is this worth asking to be fixed? Does it matter enough? Is it even worth liljim's time?

Yea, that's an inconvience. I'm pretty sure that has already been suggested in the main thread. I have no idea if liljim will go ahead with it, though.

I think -dmitry-'s idea is really good, about flagging threads, but that doesn't close them. It just brings the topic to a moderator's attention. But again, only aviable to SM members. ;-)

have a batting average for the BBS

A+ means few locked/deleted threads and lots of responses
A- Means a few more locked/deleted threads and a fewer responses to A+
B+ means a more than A- locked/deleted threads and a good amount of responses
B- means around 25% of locked/Deleted Threads and a decent amount of responses
C+ Means around 30 to 35% of locked/deleted threads and a few responses
C- A lot of locked/deleted threads and little responses
D+around 70% of locked/deleted threads and very few responses
D- around 80-90% of locked/deletd threads and nearly no responses to your posts!

By that standard, just about anybody could easily get an A+. I don't think there's a need for a BBS batting average. I mean, judge the persons comments for yourself.

I really dislike the BBS batting average, just silly.

But I think a good idea is to have some sort of notification that the user is online/offline. So you know if you should like post in a thread which they post in; asking a question, hoping they will reply, but then they dont.

There is the BBS online list, but who actually goes there every second? :x

Since so many members are deserving of the mod position

there isnt really, just people who think they are worthy of being mods..
there is lots of users who could do the job but most of us dont deserve it.

there should be a rank for people who are mature enough to move on to rankings higher than normal member.

i dont think so..
if you act mature and as a senior member you get recognised as such there is no need for something that says you are a senior member or not..
you also havnt gone into how these members would be chosen..
it may elimate some "XXX for mod.." but it would create "why isnt XXX a senior user.." "XXX should be a senior user.." etc.

Have a SeMe Lounge

you could have your own SeMe lounge in clubs and crews..
i dont see a need to exclude people from discussion.

Have the ability to make polls?

no.
not needed.

Be able to flag threads/posts?

as you said, more mods arent needed.

Be able to beta test some things

that would be cool.. but again.. the mods and admins do that..

Be the ones who help out people with information on the BBS

us senior members do that anyway.

Be example posters for the BBS

thats the definition of a senior member in my opinion..

Be posting mentors for members who request help

...ah huh..

Make the maturity level of the BBS higher

ha, nice one.

An idea I got a while ago...it's nothing like, vital, but maybe it's a little interesting...is clearing out people who haven't like, signed on in three years. Maybe this is already done and I don't know about it, but when I see I'm ranked whatever out of this many users, I'd be willing to guess that a lot of people probably never do anything when they make their account. Three years would be an okay cut-off point, because too short of a time and someone might want to come back...I didn't really do anything with my own account until a year after I actually made it, myself.
Eh, it's nothing really needed, but just an idea.

So i was just wondering, if there is a collecion that should be added, where should we enquire about it?

Should B/P ranks yield higher VP bonuses?

People who are well experienced on the portal know what should and should not pass. They know what quality animation is, and usually have more experience with the NG rules as well. Thus it is my firm beleif that people with high B/P counts are just as valuable as a user with high Exp.

My proposal would be that EGSC would have a VP bonus of 80%, and all the other ranks would be boosted accordingly.

If you don't agree please state why. What's your opinion of this idea?

I don't know about this. Higher exp shows how long you have been coming to the site, day after day, for a long period of time. With b/p points, you can get as many as you want a day, so someone could get high up in the ranks really fast depending on how much they want to get a day. Getting b/p means spending more time on the portal than you have to, so it should only yield slight increases, rather than much larger ones like you proposed. With exp, it shows the consistancy that you have been coming to newgrounds, which should be more important.

The only way to get 3000 exp, would be through 300 days of depositing. To get b/p, you can get it a lot faster by spending some time, but the users who have been coming to newgrounds longer, over a longer period of time should reap the higher benifits.

If the b/p bonuses were increased, a new user could easily get high in the ranks within a few months if they spend a lot of time of the portal, and get a higher voting power than someone who has been coming to the site for years. How do you think the person who has been coming day after day after day feels?

I'm going to have to agree with you on this. B/P is a measure of how much time you spend on the portal and how well you know what flows through this site. EXP, although important, only states how many days you've visited NG, and that for each of those days you viewed five submissions.

A strong B/Per does the site good economically. Sure, EXP draws people in and causes them to become return customers, but B/Pers are the quality control to the content of this site. I think there should be a slight added incentive to the people who spend the time to rate flash.

I would also propose that maybe some new ranks be added? I know this has been brought up before, but at the moment, in probably only a few weeks, the entire top 50 will be EGSCs. I think maybe new ranks could be added every 10k, or maybe even 20k.

Another flaw I feel about the current system is that the largest leap in VP does not occur upon ranking up to EGSC; you gain 7% VP ranking up to EGG, but only 5% for ranking up to EGSC. I think a new system could be put in place that would make it so that the VP bonuses go up at a more or less constant rate, but the B/P required to get those bonuses would grow exponentially.

I wouldn't be opposed to the idea...I do think that b/p's show more dedication to the site than depositing, since getting your daily EXP takes less than five minutes, and getting a lot of B/P's takes a long time. Maybe more ranks, or giving Supreme Commanders another VP boost every 5-10 K or so, would also work...

they should make a european server 2,so I don't have 2 wait till 7 Am(in my country is +2GMT) till it reaches 00 in america.
There are some will partners aut off 100000 users.

and should reamke the voting power system to stimulate staynig on the site I don't wanna wait 10 years to get 2 the makimum vp.

I already posted this in the Evolution MK2 thread because I did not know about this discussion page. Sorry for the inconvenience and here is my suggestion:

You know how, whenever you make a reply to a post and push the Submit button you get taken back to the top of that BBS post? Well, what if they embedded a Javascript or HTML scrip that, when you replied and pushed submit, you would be taken to the post that YOU made instead of at the top of the page? Just a suggestion.

Does this sound like an alright idea? It may save for all the users who want to find out their posts or something else along the lines without having to scroll through posts and posts. Just want your input on the matter.

I take it this thread is dead.... ?
