Reforming NG

[MonochromeMonitor]

So, as you all may know, newgrounds is not what it used to be. An active moderator is not a common sight to see and only only about 15 submissions are released per day.
With that in mind, I hate the statistics system. It gives people a higher vote for the time they spend here and not on how good of a user they are. The best system, in my opinion, is for B/P points, because they are not limited to 5 votes per day. The level system is atrocious. We should get points for voting on submissions AND writing reviews that are helpful to people. I also detest the whistle system. I have seen atrocious things posted on the site that are still there today—because I am have a normal whistle dozens more users need to somehow find the review and flag it for it even to reach a mod. I propose:
1. The ability to flag flash again... I saw a completely offensive video named "swag" a few days ago, it took half the day for its removal.
2. A more open moderator base. Mods have become an elitist society where dedicated users are excluded because of the time they joined.
3. A reformed level system. Every vote should count, as should helpful review ratings. Right now it takes ten years of activity to be level 60—that's INSANE.
4. Less flags should be required to reach a comment moderator

I believe one of the reasons newgrounds has become sluggish is due to the its inflexibility.
I'm not planning a Bolshevik-style revolution, I just want your ideas on how newgrounds could be improved. It is everything, by everyone after all. What are your thoughts? I'd like to get a petition going.

But we should, it's important after all. I believe the site would become a lot better, traffic would exponentially increase, if the userbase were given more opportunities for contribution.

Damn. All that and no armed insurrection? What a disappointment!

Aaaaanywho, I don't know what you're so worried about. You've only deposited XP 12 times, earning 126 saves and 5 blams. How much more weight do you want your opinion to have over the other citizens, Stalin?

I would be rather impressed if it did.

Don't worry, this thread is going nowhere. It's been derailed too much.

You know what I wish? People would stop being all whiny and just accept stuff the way they are. And ya know...if they have a suggestion you could try talking to an admin instead of making a fucking thread!

No. That would be retarded. The system is fine the way it is.

1. The ability to flag flash again... I saw a completely offensive video named "swag" a few days ago, it took half the day for its removal.

These is literally the only things I can agree with.

2. A more open moderator base. Mods have become an elitist society where dedicated users are excluded because of the time they joined.

If they were good enough to be modded they would have been modded. Otherwise why would we need an inhuman amount of users being modded because they're "dedicated" there are a bunch of "dedicated" users? We'd have an inhuman amount of mods after like a week. We already have too many that are hardly active enough as it is. We don't need any more that would more than likely be the same way.

3. A reformed level system. Every vote should count, as should helpful review ratings. Right now it takes ten years of activity to be level 60—that's INSANE.

No, that just shows you're dedicated to the site. Granted Pimp is a classic example of a stat whore but you get what I mean. Think of it this way. Say you're playing a game that has a leveling system. Would you want to be able to reach the highest level and have nowhere else to go after that right off the bat?

As far as I know, this is the official "Solve NG's problems" thread, so post this there. We don't need countless topics discussing the same problems everyone's been aware of for years.
