I also feel sort of indirectly offended. Bam, please just hit the report button next time to get rid of such facepalm-worthy and off-topic posts.
Let's nuke this or send it to the graveyard whatsoever.

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

I don't think so. Today, people are spending their times to make more interesting and revolutionary levels. Level designing has taken to a major level. Contests, where people is really fighting to get medals, and there's a lot of feedback and support now, waaaay better than the past, where you could see tons and tons of crappy levels.

I don't feel like I should be angry or offended with this. This is just an unconvenient post in the wrong forum.

This is not report-button neccessary, SuperShroom. He's allowed to say his opinion. All a mod needs to do is move the thread to a more neccessary forum.

Disclaimer: none of these messages have been edited, context can be provided if needed (thanks discord!) but absolutely does not change anything about these messages and that he's too overly defensive and cocky to make situations better

Karyete: I don't have anything to say to you, I've been deliberately trying to not offend you for years, actually, but apparently everything I say to you is wrong. You come across as so aggressive that you successfully intimidated me into not wanting to talk to you
Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.

Don't need to get defensive.

I agree that this place is pretty much a wasteland now, but the quality of levels is definitely higher.
Unfortunately, the C&D got rid of Newgrounds, and even though we still have some new users occasionally from other sites, SM63 is dated, so it's no surprise really.

He's got a point actually, lol. SM63 used to be the primary focus of the site, but not as much anymore. This is what he's talking about.

It's fine, I get that. And I definitely miss the times when levels were rated very often and LDCs were very great with 15+ participants (the 18th, 20th, 22nd, 24th, 25th) *sniff*

Try before all that, in my era, when the portal was a living hell to moderate.
