Yup, that's what I did.
And you know what? It was useless! I can tell uselessness when I see it.
But the thing is, I have an objection to the rating review system on NG. It doesn't take into account either the massive excitement/laughing that watching an animation causes, nor does it take into to account that only part of the NG community is made up of serious flash animators/viewers, while the other part is made up of a group of immature, idiotic douchebags.
Not that there's anything wrong with being a douchebag; there's just a time and place for everything. Which brings me to my main point:
NG needs to split up the review system.
They need one part for serious reviews, and another for just people who want to vent their enthusiasm. That way animators don't have to sift through mountains of useless nonsense reviews (like mine) in order to pick out actual choice nuggets about what they succeeded at, what they failed at, what people liked and what people didn't like.
Sure, it might be hard to work out the technical issues of this, but I think it would definitely be well worth the effort. (Idea for first rule: anything in the serious review section typed in all CAPS LOCK immediately gets auto-deleted)
Word count, keywords; various ways to tell the trash from the treasures could be used. I mean, the medal system was only just recently implemented; what reason is there not to keep improving on the site? It is "Everything, for Everyone" after all.
Review this little post of mine, and tell me what you think of the idea. If you've got any ideas of your own, post 'em up as a comment. I like encouraging creative thinking. =D
I bid a good night to you.
(P.S. If you'd like to see my useless review, go sift through the Madness Aggregation reviews. It's in there somewhere. Also, WATCH THE MOVIE. It's epic =D)
