Level Portal Suggestion Thread

Ohai, welcome to suggestion thread. Due to the date of the public new level portal is approaching. Many n00bs maybe will ask for many suggestion, anyway, just post your suggestion here to avoid seperate topics. My point is give a suggestion to the Level Portal, not for you to post short repeated suggestion again and again, or do other suggestions.

It is recommended for you to read this useful topic, which contain some FAQ and some important stuffz


Level Portal

1. Level List System
2. Submitting System
   
   1. Code and Description Quick Post
   1. Approval System (Suggested by zzzp2)
      
      1. Review Approval
         

         I think we should have 3 or so levels that need to be reviewed then you can post levels freely

         
         

         Is it possible to have to have a certain number of reviews in the LDP before you can rate? You need 5 approved reviews(replies) before you're able to rate anything? I would think not, but if someone thinks they know a way...

      2. Posts Approval

         Allow only people with more than a number of posts to access the LP after LP Testing

3. Rating System/Downrate
   
   1. Star rating require posts(Suggested by nin10mode)
      

      Star ratings should be part of posts. You have to review(postreply) the level to rate it, and on that same post, you give the number of stars. That way, we know why that star was given and deleting the post will delete that rating.

      
      
      I agree. Like that, people will have to comment and explain their rating when they rate.

      
      
      1. Limitation on characters of rating posts and spam-detect system of the posts(Suggested by Republic)
4. Reporting System/Prevent Abuse System
   
   1. Banning System(Suggested by Republic)
   2. Prevent-Bumping System(Suggested by Republic)
      

      If a user who is the topic maker, can make a post, but not bumping it. The post will appear, but the level topic will not automatically bump back to first page.
      If a user who isn't the topic maker, then he can bump it simply by posting.

      
      

      Ban people who abuse the level portal. But only don't let him to access to portal.

5. Level Commenting and Playing
   
   1. When click a level on the list, the system will instantly transport you to the level, not the topic. (Suggested by Megaboy)
6. Proper handling to Old Portal
7. Others
   
   1. Classfly by games
      
      1. SM63
      2. LL
   2. Others
      
      1. Shall not postcount in Portal Forums(Suggested by Koopa Yoshi)
      2. Remove topics of Portal from "view new post" page.(Suggested by barnecade)

Heres a suggestion: horizontal transition lines for sm63.

That has nothing to do with the portal itself.

[Megar]

Suggestion: How about instead of when you click a level on the list, how about it takes you to the level rather than the topic?

[zzzp2]

I think we should have 3 or so levels that need to be reviewed then you can post levels freely.
(or is that already in but I haven't seen it since I only have 2 levels...)

Do you mean approval system? That actaully can be approved by lemons, but I don't think there's enough amount of lemons to deal with that amount of levels.

Quick-level is quite good, maybe add a button outside the topic.

[Suyo]

Only the first 5 levels need to be approved, then you are free.

[Koopa Yoshi]

Here's mine, allow only people with more than a number of posts to access the LP after LP Testing

[Republic]

That's maybe too inconvenient for some user. Some user are little kids and they dunno how to post properly, it will just lead to a big mess in the forums. Moreover, you already need approval posts. That's too troublesome.

My suggestion: Ban people who abuse the level portal. But only don't let him to access to portal.

This is actually quite possible now that the Portal is connected to the forums, unlike before.
