Almost every single "biking" or "racing" game submitted here. They're practically all the same. I remember seeing one of them at a 3.50 but then downvoted in a few minutes to a 3.24.
Congrats! If we hadn't eliminated the flash flag system, or I got whistle points for all the flash I've reported to Wade and that he deleted, I'm sure I'd have my deity whistle by now lol.
I have Tom to thank for that for frontpaging "The Minecraft Community" and "Gay William Johnson." Also, I forgot how many things you have to flag to get a deity whistle, do you know?
but the quantity of all of the look-alike flashes that they pump out can be considered a form of spamming.I have to agree, but we both know that spamming is kind of allowed here to a certain extent.

I remember in 2009 when I'd really want a daily award, but now that I have many, I don't care because they're really easy to get.

I too hate those cookie cutter games, I have no problem with them passing if it a legit vote. The same bland game passing is not right. If you check the user page of those authors they, only have submissions posted no news posts or reviews. I don't go on the portal much these days, but I gather you mean the same authors are the ones right?
igirlgames
Argon025
smileydressup
and who can forget those biking games that are basically the same thing over and over with different backgrounds?
on an unrelated note, yay silver whistle.
At 26 minutes ago, Gimmick wrote: True, this, but what exactly is the definition of a "cookie cutter account"? The ones that win awards may as well be from a legit company producing games rather than a company that produces dressup games and ones that are just for +1 flash?
An account by a faceless gaming corporation that makes no actual contribution to the site other than providing statwhores with save points by uploading spot-the-difference and dressup games.
True, these could be legit companies, but I'd still like to see an actual contributor win an award.

very tempting indeed
They're doing it for the money. The more games they have out the more ad revenue they get. Pumping out a few of the same exact game several times a day means a steady stream of money. I'd like to know who is making these and where they come from, if they have a sweatshop somewhere where they force people to pump these out just so one person can get all the money. Like a pimp in a way.

Spot-the-difference games are basically the same thing over and over again with really few modifications. In fact, I was lurking the P-Bot's Postings forum and I saw one of Argon025's spot-the-difference games win daily 5th.
then it was blammed
No. An FLA file of mine is 626 MB and it works fine.

The problem being that these cookie cutter accounts spring up a lot. Say for example, there was this gamesgrow or something that recently came and is submitting these flash; it won't take long for other new ones that have no way of automatically being excluded.
I looked in the top 5 and those cookie cutter accounts took two or three daily places. People complain about my stuff getting daily awards since they don't like it, but I'd much rather see a not-so-good submission from an actual user win a daily than a cookie cutter account.

It was the Top Uploaders list... before the site got a redesign and it got set back nearly five years ago.

Some of you might remember me, from my last announcement.
Well, some of you where very skeptic about my work. But I'm proud to announce that my work is coming true!
Less and less submissions are being blammed every day! Yesterday only 7 submissions where blammed. YES ONLY 7!
Although my powers have not evolved to their true form yet, but when they do. newgrounds will truly be EVERYTHING, BY EVERYONE.
I must say, I look forward to it!
Even before the redesign, 7-10 submissions were the normal amount of submissions blammed. If you look in the obituaries, a bunch of those were 5-year-old submissions the author deleted. Now that we can't delete our own movies anymore, there aren't that many movies in the obituaries anymore.
Why would you want to review something more than once anyway? It's not commenting.

Not bad, there's a start.

Who knows, maybe there's an underground group of aging men who enjoy these games, sort of like the My Little Pony shenanigans.
Anyway, I think their thinking that by spamming the website with their mediocre games they can get some revenue from ads. Even thought they're essentially idiots for thinking that, that's the only reasoning I can see out of this.
And it passes because people around here have the attitude that it's decent enough to pass. Nobody votes 1. So if it's decent enough to pass, they'll vote 2. Not 1. Even though it likely deserves a 1.
I'd really like to see the statistics on how many people actually vote 1.

I've been noticing an awful lot of generic "Spot the Difference" games in the portal. http://austerity.newgrounds.com/news/post/696363#comments
Scroll down and look at Tom's post.
Daily 2nd! "Adrellia Village #38: SE" is my best work to date and has been months in the making. Thanks to everyone who liked it! Also, in case some of you are wondering, it is another version of something I already submitted, but with improvements, such as in the audio quality.
Thanks again!
How to sell out and be totally unfunny!

This flash LITERALLY has portions of a flash he has already submitted.....infact the loading screen is the exact same as a flash he's already submitted. How on Earth it got a rating anywhere near that of today's "Lifespan" (which is AMAZING by the way) is beyond me and is honestly frustrating.
It was a compilation. This is the last flash like this you'll see from me, I promise the next daily award I get will be from a ten-minute-long, high-quality collaboration.

It seems that it doesn't register if you go to the user's page and then flag from there -- if you do so, the icon doesn't change.
What you need to do is you need to go to that submission and then search for the review, which can be cumbersome if it's a popular submission which has loads of pages and that review is buried deep in the pages.
I noticed that. Though thanks to the redesign, or maybe this feature was always there, I can sort from rating and always go to the low ratings of popular submissions. Gay William Johnson, for example, has tons of abusive reviews.
Daily 4th! I didn't expect daily 5th, actually. Low-scoring day.

That's what I do now. So I take it that begging for high votes isn't considered a very bad offense, then? I've never heard of any cases involving this.
Also, is it just me or when flagging a review as abusive, it doesn't register?

I tend to see author comments with those in them from time to time, tends to only be if it is a newer user and wants people to go easy on them. Kind of sad in a way since they never bother to try to dumping grounds instead so they could get some actual input from users on how to improve it. Most tend to get blammed by users watching/playing then voting.

Mostly games. It's sad to see Sergio and Bear 3 only get 3rd. Also, this is the 3rd time in a row that a Sergio and Bear episode got 3rd place.
The "Artists should not beg for high votes" is still an enforced rule, right? Does offense of this rule only warrant deletion of the author's comments or of the user?
Daily 1st was alright.
Daily 2nd was great.
Daily 3rd was okay.
didn't play daily 4th or 5th.
A 3.6 for a daily 1st? Really low-scoring day.

So, for your flashes, it could be any version! I have Adobe Flash CS5, so yeah. It should be up to 30 seconds long, with 30 frames per second. It shouldn't be violent or anything, MUST be suitable for everybody. PM me a dump item with the fla when you are done. Fla should be 942 wide and 530 long. I'll take care of the rest. Well, that's it everybody, so see you soon!
i thought according to your description you were a horrible animator?
also is there a deadline? what about violence without excessive blood like in the 1950's black-and-white montage I sent you?
haha at StreetRally being called TomFulp
A low-scoring day as always, haven't had a high-scoring day in ages. decent submissions.
My cat XDDD
now that i look back on it, it's a really obvious stolen submission. you can find it by searching "trololo cat" on YouTube.
