It takes a minute or so to vote 5 or 0 on random movies and deposit. and if you take an average of their blams/protects, it amounts to just a few each day. And I believe that Chrome's is not originally his own. If you were to delete their accounts, I doubt any of them would care.
Then what do you think they care about?
Their submissions, perhaps? It's a fact that even a looping, massvoted screen consisting of one or two motion tweens, a typical star syndicate movie, usually requires at least an hour to set up, send to the portal and spam with votes from proxies. And they've made about a hundred of these. That's a plenty of work already, but some of their animations are actually good, with a plenty of effort put into them. All this would vanish along with their accounts, as well. Imagine all that saved bandwidth, and the joy!
Someone will have to give up sooner or later. But while it only takes a few clicks from Wade to trash everything that the star syndicate has built for several months and force them to start all over again, the star syndicate has to go through all the trouble of creating alternative accounts, new 'movies', doing massvoting with proxies and such... Daily.
I'm pretty sure that they do care, going through all this trouble to have their animations appear on the flash portal. Newgrounds is their life, or at least a major part of it.
You're reading into this too much, we don't care, we're just a bunch of bored teenagers who submit crap just to get a reaction, we're just a bunch of obnoxious trolls, who never fail to get fed by the members of Newgrounds. There is no "mass voting with proxies", these movies genuinely pass without a single vote from an SS member. A mass deletion of the Star Syndicate members as you suggest, would be foolish because a lot of the members haven't done anything malicious at all. There isn't any meticulous planning going on behind the scenes, the boards are just spam, it's the Newgrounds members which allow these things to get through. If we were completely ignored, I guarantee that the SS would have disbanded a long, long time ago; you've made us what we are.
