Reviews for Being a Helpful NG'er

A very helpful flash. I hope that many users that are new to the site will watch it, as it explains everything very well. From posts, to reviews, to some clubs. It just contains everything.

Too bad some of the images have such a low quality, which makes it a bit hard to read some of the text displayed on the images.
I also noticed that the music will start playing multiple times if I press the "play music" button more than once. Maybe you can fix that by makeing the button unclickable after the first click (and of course make it clickable again, after I press the "stop music" button).

The choice of colours is done very well (newgroundish gray background and white text. Can't go wrong with that. ^^). But the text could have been a tad bit bigger. There's a lot to read in this flash, so starting at small letters is very exhausting for the eyes.

What I liked most about this flash... well, of course you put my name in the "Great Reviews" section. ;)

The image quality was a pity, something got screwed up on export. And the play button is a known bug. However, overall I'm glad you liked it and thank you for the review.

I'm trying now to make a good Review :D

I think this tutorial helped and will help a lot of people here at NG.

1.So I like the flash because you could understand everything even if you are no NGer.
2.The only thing I dislike was the music.
3.Maybe you should add some other.

this was helpful

this was really helpful in understanding the reveiwing system but the only improvement i think of is maybe more topics like blam and protecting

Useful stuff!

Another thoroughly informative entry, which gives deeper insight into all aspects of contributing to the Newgrounds community. It's a real step up from your Abusive Review entries, and has loads of useful links and information.

It's good that you now have screenshots of examples of the different kinds of reviews that people make. Thought that the terrible review you had featured may have been one of my older entries, but thankfully it wasn't!

Your information on the BBS was common sense pretty much, but still useful. I think I've only posted there a handful of times in my long tenure here, but am looking to start interacting more with the community as a whole, and this is a really useful entry for helping me to do that.

A lot of the link buttons you had for links to threads/profiles as well as the one to return to the main menu were slightly annoying as you made only the text clickable. It's only a slight problem, but in your previous entries, you'd featured buttons for the next/back links and they were much more functional.

Also, personal preference I know, but was not a fan of that music. A bit too dance/trance for my tastes.

Still, this is a must watch entry for people who want to do their best to help the Newgrounds community. Great job!

I'm very happy that you saw this as a "step up" from my previous flashes.
Thanks a bunch for reviewing.

well

for the most part i think this is a very valuable flash and it could do a lot of people good to read through it. however it is quite a bit of reading some people dislike reading this much material. i suggest that you make a commentary for it as an option for those who would have otherwise ignored it due to the reading. another note because there is this much reading it is a bit long and the song you chose which i love dearly will eventually get tiresome boring or maybe even annoying after playing so many times. i suggest that you put more songs in the flash say in buttons at the top so the reader can scroll through them or maybe just have them loop one after the other. i think its critical that when trying to make a flash to help people make newgrounds a better place that you try to (A) make it easy for the viewer to get through the whole thing (B) keep the viewer more interested (C) give good valuable information
you completed C flawlessly but A and B were in my opinion neglected. i strongly feel that if you havnt already to recreate this flash. i feel that is important to get as many ng users to view this type of flash as possible and to do that i think making it more appealing to the viewers would help people to be better ng users
