In all the years I've spent on Newgrounds, I've witnessed a great deal of unfair reviews and ratings from users who have never contributed ANYTHING onto Newgrounds and somehow they get the upper hand only because they blammed so many flash movies or obtained a high ranking. A great majority of these awful reviews have nothing but mindless garbage like, "omfg yuo suk n ur flashes suck my p3nr!1123".
Half the times, they don't even review the flash or watch it all the way, they just hit the blam button with no regard for the artist's great efforts. It doesn't take ANY talent or mindpower to click on a damned button.
I'm talking about the kind of scum who would hit the blam button on a flash like Bitey and neglect to actually watch it or submit anything by themselves. They contribute NOTHING yet somehow gain control. Does that make any sense!? No.
So... with all that said, I propose a twist to the ratings system.
Depending on the score obtained by users who have submitted something to the portals (audio or flash), they gain a voting power corresponding to these scores. Users who submit NOTHING should get a very LOW voting power like 0.25 votes. The only way to increase this power would be to submit to Newgrounds and be judged, just like everyone else. If it's a crappy 0.98 flash, they only get a fraction of the power. If they obtain a trophy or a weekly pick, they should be rewarded with a bonus voting power.
This is what will truly separate the trolls from the flash artists. I believe trolls who submit nothing are in no position to provide advice or rate a flash poorly.
What say you to that? Please discuss.
