Exp/lv For The Audio/art Portal?

[Gario]

The experience system only applies to those that rate and comment on flash entries.

On a flash portal I understand that would be the priority, but it seems a bit of a waste to come onto the portal and vote/rate Audio and Art submissions when you have nothing to show for it, in the end. It seems like a problem for a minority of users on here that should be addressed - people whom are very experienced voting for audio/art should get some voter's credit for it, since they contribute quite a bit of their own time to do so, much like those that contribute to the flash portal. I'm not suggesting overhauling the whole portal system to have different leveling/experience for each type of submission (although that probably would be ideal, it just doesn't seem too practical for the programmers of this site), but it would seem to make sense to give experience for those votes and comments. Is there any plan to incorporate the Audio and Art voting into the NG exp. system at any point in the future?

Has this been brought up or addressed to/by Tom or Wade Fulp, at any point in time? A basic search didn't bring anything up, for me, so I wouldn't know.

It's a nice idea, but this has been suggested in the past, a number of times actually. I don't know what the admins have planned for the next redesign, so maybe the possibility of obtaining experience from the Audio/Art Portals will be implemented sometime, although don't forget that this is primarily a Flash site and the other portals are extra features which the admins went out of their way to implement, so it's almost natural to expect the site's voting system to revolve around the Flash Portal.

In any case it's not really much hassle to go to the Flash Portal, take a look at a few Flash submissions and vote on them. That's what I do to get my experience points, even though I'm an audio artist myself, and it only takes a few minutes.

Thanks for the reply. I understand that it's primarily a flash portal, and I know I could get experience if I voted on flash (for some reason, I only ever feel like voting on three at a time, though, which doesn't do me any good... my fault and problem, I know :P). I was just wondering if this has been brought up (which according to your post it has).

Thanks for answering my question :)
