How are you gonna put content ratings on more than 17,000 flash movies? Like for example how do you know if there's nudity in it? The only way I can think of is to go through each movie and watch it, but that seems impossible.

What does everyone think so far? Any ideas for how it could look or perform better? Also notice on some older submissions, we now list awards that have been won, as well!

I am very glad you have ratings now, being in the Navy(I can't possibly say that enough) I use "community" computers where, despite the fact everyone here is an adult, we cannot view anything Adult in nature (or flopping dicks and bouncing titties as they're called)which doesn't make sense when you find out sailors make it a goal to fuck as many women as possible while on tour. Anyway, that stupid fuck clown can't get me in trouble now!

I change my forum sig too much.

Well, I don't need to be protected from dirty words or naughty pictures.. and I see more violence each day at work that I do in a week's worth of portal flashes.. but it's not a bad idea. Just one more way to classify the stuff as it comes through the dark portal. Kudos.

Hehe, my first movie is rated T and my second is M. I dunno I always thought my first one was way more disgunting. It says theres no nudity but there is! Oh well... it's still a new feature. And I still don't quite understand how it works.

Great!! but accuracy is a problem.. How does it decide? And why do my movies contain " No Audible Explicit Language".. I know they do. "No Adult Themes" is also off.. as is nudity. I dont have nudity. one movie says it does.

Dude! I saw level 20 and up Newgrounds users as Newgrounds masters. Now that I'm level nine looking at level 10 experience points, I see level 20 and up is reserved for almighty Newgrounds gods. mystical beings that roam the land, blamming through sheer will, saving the worst movies with a single 5. All hail, er ok forget it. On the actual subject of Newgrounds improvements, I like the new experience ranking on our profiles, I'm #6,536 out of 254,739 users with profiles! Which is strangely the same rank I had just before I made level 9. If that doesn't impress you, which it shouldn't, I'm also 1518 out of 105876 in popularity. That's the top 1% dammit!(ALMOST) I am done trying to look good in front of the grand, thank you.

Just to try and clear up some confusion - the majority of current ratings will be for old content. Because they didn't exist before, I had to take the values of all the old submissions' descriptives (which have also been revamped). The language parts were almost impossible to select from the old descriptives.... :)

Now, many authors didn't bother too much with the descriptives and those that did sometimes didn't go overboard with them. So it was pretty difficult to get an accurate rating for some of the submissions, which is why some of them are "out of sync."

I will be writing up some tools for you guys to bring ratings that aren't accurate to our attention. This will help us get old submissions up-to-scratch with ratings. The criteria that authors have to select for ratings is now mandatory, so any edited content or new content will require the author to stuff related to the ratings.

Authors can help us along by logging into their Grounds Gold account and editing their submissions!

Hope that all makes sense! :)

The Rating System is a peice of shit man get rid of it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody even gives a crap what they are rated man plus now that the stupid rating system is out heartless blammers will rate a movie 0 just because it is rated E without even seeing it. GET RID OF THE RATING SYSTEM NOW before it's too late. You should keep the award system though.

no they won't... sure, people the same age as u - 13, and being as idiotic as u, will rate like that, but the rating doesnt judge a movie.. the best movies dont have to have blood in or swearing. infact, you've probally given people the idea to rate like that!!

It seems like a good idea, giving the user for warning about a submission. However, just like everything else, some jerk will try and post "hot titz to jizz on" as E, for everyone, under the name of "newgrounds r0x0rs" and then Little Jimmy will be traumitized for the rest of his life.

Looks pretty good. But it gets rid of the surprise factor completely, which was pretty fun. I still remember when I watched the movie "Teach Me" It took me completely by surprise, and I ended up laughing my ass off. I wouldn't have laughed that hard if I knew that was what I was gonna see. But still, the change is good
