The new Level Portal

Thumbs up x1

So what's your plan?
We all know what's going on at the current Level Portal. People spamming levels, downraters, flaming in comments... and most people don't even know about the forums. With this project I want to link the Portal to the forums.

What does that mean?
- we will be able to spot downraters easily
- lemons can moderate comments
-- that also means we need more lemons (for the unenlightened, that means Level Mods)
- spam levels will be disapproved

When will it come?
Right now, I'll finish coding. Then we will get about 20-30 beta testers (including some spammers) to test the new Portal, and after the feedback from them we will decide if we keep the old Portal or we open the new Portal for everyone.

I have an idea. Is it it possible to just make a portal archives? Essentially, can you just move all the levels of the current portal into another portal so that users don't lose them? This would drastically improve the issues we have with clearing the portal right now because no levels are lost but we're still rebooting everything. (perhaps a new tab at the top of the forums simply labeled "Archives". The old portal goes there, and the new portal goes in the "Levels" tab.)

Okay, are you going to pick just 30 beta testers, or do we ask you to beta test it?

And if it's the second... May I please help in the test?

YAY FOR SUYO
The new Portal is here. FEAR IT, DOWNRATERS!


Thanks Suyo for making it so quickly :P That sounds like an epic thing. But what about the massdeleting? There will be one, right? Or maybe Blab's idea, (this is a good idea). If you need beta-testers, I am here. I JUST CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE.

And did you add the option to sort the levels by Score? Or by difficulty?

Anyway, what Master said :P

Will anything change from the main portal or will it just be connected to the forums? (Like removing the ability to comment and having the users comment through the forums, Top Ten levels being expanded, shrinked, removed, etc. [yes I do find TTL important])

Yay more staff members. :D

I have a suggestion:

+ Ratings should be included with each comment.

New level portal sounds awesome. I could test it out a bit, if I needed to. I'm not that into Super Mario 63, but I do have some levels in my topic that aren't in the Portal that I can submit.

By the way, is there going to be an LL Portal?

Most likely yes, when the full version comes out.

WIN!

This is a good idea, as for level mods, how many do we need? We have like....5 or 6? Are we up-ing it to 9 or 10? I wouldn't mind testing it. So here's my number in case you need me:

0300-9349723652893764209362643574689569687906894705634982763917625982734908345690478650746598968667875676456353732494058747585967734320938922379958437681291289

I can't wait!

Maybe we should have only registered users be able to rate. That would reduce the downraters...
(but if they made accounts...)
