New Topic

[MetaphorcE]

I had a brain wave. What if only vets could post new topics? Then I realised if vet meant > lvl 10 I'd be excluding myself from making topics, as well as pyromaniac, bbr, and others what slipped my mind for now. How about posts then? But then I realised when people are new, a lot of the time the reason they post is to ask questions, mostly in where is/how to or the flash forum. Well how about... there could only be a cirtain number of new topics in an hour? But then I'd realise it'd become competitive and probably encourage topic creation rather than discourage it. And we would see an increase in revived topic. How about... uhm... anyone who makes a new topic for the first time gets voted on for the quality of their topic, and then if they get rated poorly they can never post a new topic ever again. Then I realised we were all n00bs once. And besides, it would still be possible that people get voted on who they are not what they posted. So how about... we have a team of users who go around a lock or delete topics based on their appropriateness? OMFG snap I'm right with you Tom I had that idea too about 6 months after you implemented it. Hey, what can I say? Great minds think alike! Except my idea is better cos I said teams not team. The current one is not kicking goals.

SCORE ONE FOR -ROLL- FOR MOD!!! OMFG JUST SO CRAZY IT MIGHT JUST WORK!!!!111

see this is the part where I pretend I have a 1337 sig but it's really just part of the message.

Who is that crazy -roll-? :roll:

[Scaper-X]

That's not too elitist?

I don't think the Fulps would go for it.

Newgrounds.com is all about freedom of speech and to limit people's ability to express their opinions seems to counter that in a big way.

Agree? Disagree? Biscotti?

so noobs can't start topics? noobs sometimes have good questions and points. so bad idea methinks.

[Slightly-Crazy-Dude]

I agree with Format. I dont think it would be done because n00bs as you call them do indeed ask decent and tolerable questions, some helpful and some intriging. Also if you try to get rid of these peeps they might not submit their flash movies toi NG and we would be the ones losing out.

[Spike-J-Wolfwood]

You are a vet of NG but with only 700 and change as far as post count you aren’t a vet of the BBS. Still a good idea though........... let the noobs read the damn FAQ for once. That's what it's there for.

[Masculine]

who cares.. you can ignore the n00bs topic anyway and if you want to post on it sure you can

boring *click*

[MetaphorcE]

Volumous text doesn't mean you shouldn't read it.
I wasn't saying n00bs shouldn't be allowed to post. I was saying that they should be moderated - by me!!!

VOTE -ROLL- FOR MOD 2003!!

[Masculine]

I vote people who are actually alot higher then you and have more posts then you and arent even mods and should be.... actually I wouldnt vote I dont like to vote

[Incitic]

I wanna be a mod.

Pick me! Pick me!

[Janus]

Gee, let me think.

What the quickest way to ensure that one will never become a mod?

Oh, I don't know...how about....making posts like THIS ONE??!?!?!

oh no now you'll never be a mod. but things are on the up for me and my 2003 moderation campaign. yet people are still ignoring my platform - as ever. it seems the common man cannot grasp the entire message I deliver, only a small piece at a time. hey now plz re-read and understand I was actually saying how n00bs are best dealt with by moderators. then I made it about me. ignore the me part for now.

-ROLL- FOR MOD IN 2003. I PROMISE NO NEW TAXES OR NO NEW TAXING RULES. IN THE WAR ON DRUGS I WILL REMAIN IDLE BUT IN THE WAR ON N00BS I WILL REMAIN IDLE. IN FACT, I WON'T REALLY DO ANYTHING AS MOD. I JUST WANT TO SEE MY NAME IN GREEN AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH PAGE. THAT IS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE -ROLL- FOR MOD IN 2003!!!!

Who is that crazy -roll-? :roll:

[BFU-Gunslinger]

Thing is....if you keep asking to be a mod, then you will never be one!!
You blew it dude.

[Dobio]

The thing about n00bs making topics, is sometimes they say things that bring action to the BBS.

And I'd miss that...

So, I say 'nay'.

Sorry Tom Fu---...er...evilSan.

You better watch out Dobitchio, I'll tell everone your real name, which is... Wade Fu... er.

See me and dobio laughed and laughed so hard the first time we realised we both had the same last name. oh tee hee, hee haw haw haw.

ACCEPT IT: -ROLL- IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE CHOICE FOR MOD IN 2003. VOTE -ROLL- FOR MOD IN 2003!!!

[UpstartDJ]

it could be an idea but maybe people under lv 7 could only post a new topic.

What right have you to invalidate my candidacy? I think here on newgrounds we can see a microcosm of the legislature where those in power are unwilling to give it up and proceed to dispatch with anyone whom they see as a threat. Theoretically Democracy is for the people but effectively it becomes about those with the power.
Now I am one of low socio-economic NG users, so it is understandable you would want to exclude me from your position of priveledge, but I will fight you all the way good sir!! You cannot ignore the will of the people forever!

-ROLL-: A MODERATOR OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE. VOTE -ROLL- FOR MOD FOR 2003!!

Who is that crazy -roll-? :roll:

Well said -shock-. Instead of asking what the emoticon campaign can do for you, you should all be asking what you can do for the emoticon campaign.

All this stupid "campaigning" pretty much ensures that you won't ever become mod.

yea but its funny to some people
i mean not me or anything ;)
but im sure some people are laffing somewhere :p

[XUKE]

First of all, the first amendment states religion, assembly, petition, press, and speech. You should all know that... but i could see why you wouldnt.

That does not come into effect in newgrounds....

And while there will sometimes be gay topics out there, you shouldnt really care and just ignore the topic forever. But i never cease to wonder why you call someone a n00b and spammer for asking what happened to strawberryclock, and yet when someone a few levels higher says he has a tuna collection its a golden post and should be replied to... millions of times with no point at all.

And finally, everyone shold have their say. Even if its something stupid, we have all been dumbasses once in a while, made a complete fool of ourselves, so just pull them to the side, and explain to them why they are being idiots.

[MarkOfTheBeast]

WEAK! I think Im a vet. Been here since 2001! make an accepttion? :D

Good idea non-the-less.

I read that as "well now you've blown it", meaning I had a chance before!!! Oh wow! I must start campaigning harder to convince everyone what a good mod I will make!!!

As much of a chance as everyone else, meaning "no". I know you're just tryin to have fun and blahblahblah I'm a wet blanket, but seeing these campaign tags at the end of all these posts gets irritating.

Whatever, do your thing, it feels like 80% of the current regulars here irritate me anyway.
