Scratch

I don't think the voting idea would work. There's a lot of people who don't like simple projects, so they'd rate every one they saw as low as possible, and a lot of projects would get "blammed" (removed). Then a lot more people quit. Newgrounds is more for adults, so it doesn't matter as much.

Exactly... The comments section is enough for me. Hey, at least you can delete mean comments.

So that's what the newgrounds's voting system is?

@MrFunky: That voting system isn't going to work here, especially considering the diversity in age, as well as the level expertise use in SCRATCH among different users. It also can be an opening for cyber-bullying and discouragement (projects by certain users being incessantly rated as low based on the user, not the project itself).

Scratch ain't Twitter, so it drives me nuts when people use the @ sign like it actually does anything. But anyway, newgrounds sounds like it's more for the "l33t" people who are great programmers, and the last thing Scratch wants to be is hostile to new users with little/no experience.

ok judging by this whole topic I'll set up a whole list of detailed suggestions, basically I likey the idea too!

How was this topic a good suggestion? A lot of people here said they didn't want SCRATCH website to be like newgrounds or said it wouldn't work (only dec123 was in support of it), and I don't think you would like it if your project were to be removed simply because people didn't like it and everyone voted poorly against it.

Why is it every time i support everyone just shouts it out -_-

Voting? You mean like, 1-5? I don't think that would be good because new scratchers might be offended if their projects are rated low. Maybe there should be an option whether you can choose if people can rate or not.

Cheedar Girl, it's almost like voting how good the project is from 1 to 5, except Newgrounds use words. Like below the project notes. D you understand a bit more now?

When you say "voting", do you mean something like contests, in which anyone can vote on their favorite projects? Or are you referring to something like a poll option in the forums?

Actually, I kind of figured it out the minute I read post #3 a long time ago (see post#4).

But you provide a clearer idea of how the system works.
