So here's a question. What's keeping you the Barracks members so busy that you can't find time to post? Both the good and bad reasons.

I'm now 4 weeks away from graduating from university, which means a small mountain of coursework, planning for next year, planning for the Summer, the last matches of the water polo season, and somewhere amongst all that spending time with my girlfriend. Sadly that doesn't leave much time for NG, though I tend to be on every now and again.

Choose a select group of moderators that you feel can judge flash objectively. Give them the power to judge flash they deem unworthy of protection status.

That I believe is already in the pipeline, along with a load of other new features. Portal Mods won't have the power to judge flash on their own though, as I understand it there will be changes to the whistle system, so flagged submissions that break certain criteria will be dealt with by them.

1. One moderator judges the flash to be crap which puts it into a judgement folder for review by the other moderators.

2. The other moderators review the these flash at a time of their choosing with flash being judged according to the majority vote.

3. The flash is either deleted from or restored to the portal. You could add a ban for flash determined to be spam.

I don't think you can simply give moderators the power of judgement like that, trustworthy or not. The whole point is the community as a whole decides (though at the moment it is being abused). What exactly constitutes a bad flash? Would everyone agree? In my opinion the best policy is to have a 'spam' whistle purely for spam submissions i.e. flash that is continually submitted to the portal, such as all that Adolf Hitler rubbish. These would be taken off the portal for moderation, and deleted if shown to be obvious spam. You can't just do it with bad submissions though, as many are genuine attempts at flash, and those authors deserve reviews and help to improve (as it is I think you should be able to submit reviews to blammed submissions, as often i write long informative reviews to help and by the time I am done it is gone and I can't submit it).

It may also be possibly to allow Moderators access to who votes what on each submission, enabling them to easily identify people mass voting or abusing the system and thus issuing bans. A few days of not being able to vote (and therefore a loss of EXP) would certainly stop a lot of people.

Also raising the bar a little on the 1.6 wouldn't hurt either.

I've wanted that for a long time, it would certainly help a great deal. Also it shouldn't be possible to add co-authors after it has passed, that is simply abusing the new system of higher boundaries for submissions with multiple authors.

Blow this theory out of the water. Shoot holes through it. Make me wrong. But, suggest something better.

The portal mods could make a huge difference, it is all about making it a fair system, and it is bound to need tweaking here and there.

Congrats, still hovering behind me I see...

These are all very good suggestions!

If we keep this up for a page or two we could have something that works and is worth listening to. Especially the spam whistle idea. That's something that could really work especially with the EGB and Rage's Abuse helping out.
The only downfall of the whistle is that it's a system which would take time to develop. My idea could be implemented now and at no cost. It's also effective.

Keep the ideas coming! I will be gone for the next week but when I get back I'll take some time and join back in the discussion.

School has been at the top of the list, followed closely by Game Boy and (the last two days) the fact that I decided to joiun the Kitty Krew, so I've been trying to make some KK Flash.

How about we get a little debate going b/p related. Topic: Wades thread about under judgement voting.
This turned into a suggestion thread and then evolved into a blam thread. This topic has since died out as I expected it would. People will return to voting the way they used to. Nothing will change. Wade will get mad. The cycle repeats.

It was alive and well until Star Day rolled around... But on a day devoted to a former spam crew, it's pretty hard to go post a spam movie and ask people to Blam it.

My suggestion:

Choose a select group of moderators that you feel can judge flash objectively. Give them the power to judge flash they deem unworthy of protection status.

Whoa man, not that I don't see something that can be worked on in your argument (maybe if definite criteria for "spam" can be set up as Whistle criteria, and the mods only looked at flagged movies), but there's some problems with the idea. The system we have in place now may be on the fritz, but it still allows the votes of the users to determine what stays and what goes. Even though plenty of spam shit passes, does that constitute a failure of the very idea? No more than the election of George Bush constituted a failure for the idea of democracy.

It's a little extreme but it's an idea that could work. I think it's a fair idea, especially if you check on your moderators from time to time and keep them fair.

The thing is, people have different opinions. Even Wade is not immune to the human error of wanting all things to go with his own desire; the mods he would choose would likely be of like mind to him about what constitutes spam. So if Wade (and by extension, the mods he would choose) thought KK movies were spam, then even a good movie that someone might be willing to pass without statwhoring might be flagged and deleted as "spam".

Also raising the bar a little on the 1.6 wouldn't hurt either.
Now the reason I think this is the best suggestion is that it relies on trusted, and supervised people. Supervised by the admins that is. This would eventually turn the tide of voters to vote more fair instead of the save happy voting crowd of today. It would also discourage spammers from spamming. Not stopping but significantly reducing it.

But what, then, would the purpose of UJ voting be? If no vote had any real ability to save a movie if a few people thought it was bad, would that do anything to reduce statwhoring? Not that I can see. In fact it would be even more that the only reason for voting would be points.

Blow this theory out of the water. Shoot holes through it. Make me wrong. But, suggest something better.

Well, add "spam" as a whistle option, with a near-universally accepted definition, and then add in the Portal mods to look at flagged movies to make sure nothing had been unfairly flagged, and to unflag wrongful Whistle-blowing with penalty for the failed blowers.

Maybe if we find a good solution we all agree upon we can submit this as a group to Wade.

DISCUSS!

I do agree with your idea of raising the B/P threshold though. Preferably to 2.50, so that a majority of the voting power would need to vote to pass the movie for it to avoid the obituaries.

Personal accomplishments:

Well then, congratulations on that!

I believe that the spam whistle is an excellent idea if indeed the definition of what constitutes as spam is added to the FAQ ( unlike the way it is now). Also, for some submissions to be considered as spam like in the instance of something being resubmitted with little or no changes e.g. the hitler, fulp, and stalin things, those require at least a few to be submitted. Think about it, if just the first one was passed having never been submitted (think of a happier time rid of spam) it couldn't classify as resubmission spam anyway. I hope this makes some sense again I'll lay out my bottom line: if a clear and easy to understand definition of spam was written and added to the FAQ, there should definitely be a spam whistle. There would however be different kinds of spam such as the current whistle system like the different kinds of abusive submissions such as stolen, malicious, and unsuitable.

Hey, Im #27 on the roster. Awesome opposums!

NEVR's note:

- Joshiwa will now be working alongside me with the rosters. I allowed several days following his offer for others to express an interest, but none did. If you wanted to be involved in the roster, you'll have to wait until one of us retires from updating it.

- Promotions are back, all may rejoice.

- DBlach, despite meeting the point requisites, remains a Guardsman until restoring his whistle, at which time he may request full membership. This has been decreed by Slash.

- Last roster was 2 weeks ago, so average is calculated as 'gain / 14'.

Sounds like a good idea to do it every Sunday, I could help you with this one, in case you need it (but I doubt you will).

This is a record of user's posts in this thread since last Sunday. The order of members is (more or less) the same as from Tuesday's B/P roster. If people like this idea and want it to continue, I'll re-order it into alphabetical order.

Or you could re-order it into activity level. But this could encourage some pointless posts... well, if someone gets caught doing this they get removed from both lists for a certain period of time. Just an idea...

Funny, when I clicked the "Reply & Quote" button, I got the error message. Newgrounds has been running slower in the past few days for me, even after the "Redesign". Pages load only half of them sometimes... Maybe it's my connection, but all the other sites load properly, so it's not an option anymore. Hell... I can deal with it.

I have a lot of things to do at school, mostly tests and loads of homework. But this Thursday is a holiday and we won't have classes neither on Thursday nor Friday. =)

How about we get a little debate going b/p related. Topic: Wades thread about under judgement voting.

It's always fun to have a nice discussion here, specially when B/P is involved.

My suggestion:

Choose a select group of moderators that you feel can judge flash objectively. Give them the power to judge flash they deem unworthy of protection status.

Seems risky, because it's a huge responsibility for someone who's not from the staff. The methods of choosing those moderators have to be very strict, because they'll take care of the most important part of Newgrounds.

1. One moderator judges the flash to be crap which puts it into a judgement folder for review by the other moderators.

2. The other moderators review the these flash at a time of their choosing with flash being judged according to the majority vote.

3. The flash is either deleted from or restored to the portal. You could add a ban for flash determined to be spam.

Smart ideas, could work very well. But again, we'd have to see who fits for the moderating position.

Also raising the bar a little on the 1.6 wouldn't hurt either.

I'd say the bar should be raised from 1.60 to 2.00. Crap = no more.

Maybe if we find a good solution we all agree upon we can submit this as a group to Wade.

You do this part, since you came with the idea!

Hey welcome to the KK! I joined about a year ago because I decided I wanted to see why they were so hated and ended up finding out that they are the nicest people Ive met in my 7 year tenure on NG. As a proud member, welcome to the Krew and I hope I see ya on the KK board!

*Salutes*

I just checked my profile im finally a corporal at long last!, its great. I have been waiting for ages to get that badge so i guess i go up on next weeks list.

Thanks for the update, much appreciated as always!

Top 5 Gainers:

Joshiwa - 895
NEVR - 863
Idiot-Finder - 693
pwroftheseagoat - 643
Sentio - 599

... WOW, that is a real surprise given I missed a lot of the first week! No idea how I managed that considering how little I have been around, but I am not complaining, always good to be back on the Top gainers list :). 4 more weeks and then I'll be graduated and FREE....

Congrats to all the rest of you as well!

Top 3 biggest average rises: Sentio (40.8+), Lotus (9.5+), X-Naut (4.4+).

Now that is what I call a gain! Much better, got to keep the rest of you back!

>>> 04 || [ 51950 ] || [ 008 ] || [ 00.6 ] || [ 02.4- ] || Major-punk, Sup. Commander

One day I'll get there, though it will be a sad day :(

>>> 05 || [ 44649 ] || [ 599 ] || [ 42.8 ] || [ 40.8+ ] || Sentio, Sup. Commander

Almost in the top 50 for B/P now (in fact a good week and I'll be there...). That has always been my long term goal, so from now it will just be a case of maintaining that place from the likes of...

>>> 06 || [ 40424 ] || [ 643 ] || [ 45.9 ] || [ 03.6+ ] || pwroftheseagoat, Sup. Commander
>>> 07 || [ 39093 ] || [ 504 ] || [ 36.0 ] || [ 07.7- ] || Coop83, Sup. Commander

Stay back!

I also quite liked the post count update, though maybe not too often. It did make me realise how little I have been posting in here though, I don't realise given how often I check through and read the posts. I just never seem to post once I have done that :S.

Hey congrats guys! But how avtive does one have to be to gain almost 900 points in one week? ....Wait how often are these rosters posted? Is it weekly?

>>> 46 || [ 02754 ] || [ NEW ] || [ NEW ] || [ NEW ] || DBlach, Private (Pending Whistle Level)

Grrrrr.... Curse my damn whistle, it has given me so much greif and soulmaster71 and I have been working like mad to get it back up to at least normal, and it just isn't happening. Maybe I'll be a guardsman forever........

Thankfully Tom changed it for me in the lockdown to Phantom. I'm too drunk now, call me Dan.

I think just Phantom is better, Dan,

But why can't we use the _underscore_ anymore?

Yes. I am Russian, and yes, we can drink, but after over a gallon of beer, I'm feeling better.

You're Russian? Somehow I swore you were German... Whatever, you're European.

Anyway, it's late her, I got my freak on, and need some sleep. later fellas, I'll regret this in the morning. Leave cash.

Be sure to clean the bathroom after you wake up.

Yeah, those 1,500 point gaps are pretty freaky. But I still want to get there before you do!

Yeah, I know, last thing anyone would have expected... But WACKYANIMATION made a thread in General about KK revival, and I decided "Well, I don't hate them like I used to, might as well join up!" Don't worry, I won't do anything bad...

I hope so! Please don't become a spammer or your position as a Guardsman might be screwed. =P

Congratulations, Corporal Lassuk! I won't call you Phantom because... well... look up a bit.

This one was done with 2 weeks, read NEVR's note after the roster. =)

More study, then sleep.

The activity levels updates aren't a problem - the one I did on Sunday took me 10 minutes tops, so I can easily maintain that by myself. Thanks for the offer though.

Or you could re-order it into activity level. But this could encourage some pointless posts... well, if someone gets caught doing this they get removed from both lists for a certain period of time. Just an idea...

Ordering it into activity levels would mean re-arranging it every week, which is far too much hassle. Alphabetical seems the most appropriate to me.

Most welcome, man.

I can understand that, I quite often check the posts in here but don't post, especially if there's nothing that I feel the need to reply to. The main point of the activity level update is just to make people more aware of how often they post in here, as it's been quite dead lately. Of course, it's a bit of fun, too.

Read my note after this roster and you'll see that I said the last roster was 2 weeks ago.

I'll be back later today for a check up on you all, for a slander of insults for some of you. I expect cash as sincere acts of apology. I DO have paypal, there are no excuses. Have a good day, while it lasts.

Hey Phantom

Where were you the night Chicago died?

Wow, things have really changed since January. Then you said I was an idiot for bashing the KK, and now you say I'm an idiot for joining! Just know that I won't break any rules. Maybe it does make me seem like a flip-flopper though, joining them when I was their enemy not all that long ago... But I'm not going to be involved in any spamming.

Also, thanks for the roster update, and sorry I forgot to mention it earlier!

If you'd paid attention, you'd realize that both times I've thought you're an idiot for being a hypocrite, not for your views on certain flash groups. Considering you started an online petition that was primarily against the KK in it's infancy, and all the other anti-KK propaganda and opinion you spewed across NG, I consider you a hypocrite for now joining them.

But hey, your choice is your choice. Just know that I have no time for hypocrites - especially ones that should know better.

Sirs! My message is a short yet important one. My parents have disabled the internet connection to the computer in my room due to what they consider overuse. Their reasoning is flawed however they will not reconcile. So unfortunately my activity here on newgrounds will be severely lowered if not completely. Again I regret to have to inform you all of this, but i felt it was necessary. I don't know when I'll be able to post again, so until then: guardsman private DBlach signing off.

First off, happy birthday Phantom. I know it may be too late for you, being couple hours ahead of GMT time, but for me, I've still got about 35 minutes to celebrate. Sadly, I have no spare munies; like you, my entire family (save for me) was born in April, making it a tight month on the wallet. And I hope you got money, since it can lead to sexings.

Second, Yay, Roster!

Third, I got new contacts!

Fourth, I got a new shirt!

Fifth, I took a shit

Sixth, I'm hoping that somebody read through all of those and responds with the tenth word of this post.

Sorry everyone, false alarm. They did disconnect me but that was a warning as to what will happen if my addictive habits are to continue.

I apologize for the double post but I have an urgent message!......HAPPY PICO DAY!!!!! Finally I've been waiting for this day for a long time I might play hooky from school tomorrow in order to view pico and his friends in all their glory. Save points here I come!!!!
