Badgerboy for Minister of Sound!

The sound library is in desperate need of repair. I usually check there first when I need a sound, but most of the time, it doesn’t have what I want, and I head over to Findsounds.com.

There are three problems I see with the sound library:

• It’s hard to find.[/*]
• It is pretty disorganized.[/*]
• No incentive to submit sounds.[/*]

So how will I fix these? Let me go through them one at a time.

It’s hard to find.
[I will work with whoever I have to to get a spot on the blue bar at the top that gives a link to the sound library. Most likely, this will say "Sounds." Right now, some people have trouble finding the sound library, just like some people had trouble finding the WIKI until it was moved up there.

I also plan on making a dedicated WIKI page for sounds. There will be a link to this WIKI page of the front page of the WIKI. This page will contain a link to the sound library, as well as a few sounds from each category. These sounds will be changed every so often to keep things fresh.

It is pretty disorganized.
One sub-category (Household Noises) has a lot of sounds in it, and the Soundtrack category has a lot of music in it. I think both of these could be broken down even further for ease of use.

I also plan on organizing some other categories, even if they don't have a lot of sounds. One example is the Footsteps category, which I plan on breaking down into "6 Frame Walkcycles" and "4 Frame Walkcycles" to make finding what you want that much faster.

There is no incentive to submit sounds.
Why should I waste my time submitting a sound to the library? Yea, it helps out the library. But what if I want something more?

If you continue to submit quality sounds, then you will become an official Sound Library Top Contributor! You will get a nifty little title above your avatar that tells everyone just how cool you are. How neat is that?

Plus, if there's an incentive for making sounds and submitting them, that means more sounds, which means better sounds in your brickfilms, which is great for everyone.

I will also assign more Sound Curators.
Because I can't look at and accept/reject every sound submitted, I will be assigning more Sound Curators to help me with that task, as well as to assist me in maintaining and updating the WIKI page. When needed, they will also help me maintain the sound library itself.

A Summary for People That Don't Feel Like Reading

• Sound library becomes easier to find by being put in the blue bar at the top, a sound library WIKI page is created that will be linked to on the front page of the WIKI and will feature some sounds from the library, as well as have a link to the library itself.[/*]
• Categories and sub-categories get organized further.[/*]
• Cool titles to show off your excellence in sound making.[/*]
• Sound curators added to help make the WIKI page and sound library so much better.[/*]

And I want you to understand that, just like last time, everything in here is not a goal, but a promise. I promise you I will fulfill everything I said here. Also, if elected, being both MoS and MoT will not trouble me. I will still finish everything I said in both campaigns.

Please ask any questions, or state any comments or concerns you have.

So thank you. I hope you like this campaign because It Sounds Good to Me!
