I don't know but "chrono trigger X" was just submitted by a NEW author and is getting blammed even though it's decent. So either whatever it is isn't working, or they're just voting normally instead of using a program. Well I still appreciat you guys trying to stop this BS. I geuss there's only so much you can do though.
I don't know but I do know that silver for now is relatively easy to get. I haven't even whistled that much and I have it, you do have to be patient though. Your whistle won't level up overnight.
I hate LF, but I don't always vote 0 on his works. I liked a couple of his zelda flash even if I do hate the author.
Is the auto-voting still being blocked for the time being though? I know they'll just find more loopholes anyway but if what can be done about it is being done....
It's hex, 0-F. Or 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F no O's
Shit that's got to suck if you can't vote because humantarget can. He just deposited about 10 minutes ago.

Amen to that, can't get any new animators if all their movies are just going to be blammed.

Now that is a fair and reasonable idea. I was surprised to find thats not how the system already worked.
Thank god i deposited earlier today. Form submits dont work for my IE, so if the system stays then im shit outta luck.
It works for me, you probably just need an updated version. I had to switch off yahoo's browser but it's working now.

It's a shame that we created a system to encourage more users to help vote on new entries, which worked, but some users only care about the points and will just vote blindly to try and get more points. We are logging their activity though and we will remove points from users who we find to be voting unfairly just to rack up their points. We have a nice big list of users already.
About that, I'm pretty sure that's the voting 0 thing but I have a question. If I vote high on movies others happen to not like, will that do it? Or is it just when we constantly try to blam front page and top 5 stuff?
Much appreciated wade, I plan to become an animator myself. If these assholes are just auto-blamming NEW authors I won't be able to. I think this started when "liabach kittens" got protected.
I'm having trouble, it gives me endless pop-ups when I input the code it asks me to. Either someone got angry and hacked it already or it's buggy.
The fact that it even had a score of 1.5 is indicative of the problem. Most of the time if the author has an A+ average it's automatically protected. Like this:
I agree that it sucks you're missing out on points. But blamming cause it'll get blammed anyway just makes the problem that much worse.

If you would be unpopular and have no other flash movies, you still would be blammed... If you were a popular artist (knox, LF, synj, iwp,...) you're 5 seconds flash would probelly be saved
That's exactly part of my point. I want to start submitting before too long but if people are just going to blam because I'm new it'll be pointless.

1. Agreed
2. The opposite happens a lot if it's under 200k, but flash that small doesn't neccessarily suck even though it's usually blamed regardless.
3. Agreed, it still counts as a 0 vote though.
4. True, got to be careful nowadays. But if the flash has "Black Mage" in the title it shouldn't be considered racist against black people before anyone even watches it.
5. Or the big guy could have submitted something better.
6. Agreed, it's not a huge problem. They could try not to be so sensitive when it does happen though.
Sadly I'm not surprized that they usually raise the score. You seem intelligent enough though, just give them more of a chance than that. If NEW authors always have their movies BLAMed we there won't be any new authors. As a result we'll miss out on a lot of quality.

You are the poster child for this very garbage
Then you're being part of the problem. "Bass Strikes Back" is an excellent example of something that got blamed that way, and there have been others as well. It doesn't necessarily happen but it's a big problem none the less.
It's actually one I like better unlike the last one. Say could NEW authors call on BLAM club to protect their movies if their movies involve effort. Too many fuckwits automatically vote 0 if the author is NEW and I'm thinkin this could be a solution

The first impression always counts. I'll admit it, if your spelling sucks and/or you say stuff like: "This is my first movie, please vote 5" I will automatically vote 0.
People who can't make the effort to spell right, usually put even less effort into their flash movies.
BaconBurgerClock never spelled a damn thing right but his flash was ok. Not wonderful bu acceptable enough to protect

Thanks for voting, JerkClock!
Your experience points gave you a voting power of 2.60 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 6% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 2.76 votes!
The more experience points you have combined with BLAM and PROTECTION points, the more your vote is worth!
You gave this entry a 5, raising its score to 1.63!
If this movie is protected you will get a PROTECTION point!
Your experience points have been deposited already today. Thanks for doing the overtime!
Okay maybe clay vs. playdoh was not necessarily a 5 but it's not a 0 or a 1. This is precisely the kind of thing I've been talking about. I gave it a 5 because he used a SD sound clip in it, gotta love the SD sfx, but I digress
Plus as you stated above, those same people do it to "NEW" artists too. How are we to even establish a batting average that way?

Some voters admit that if the author has a low batting average they automatically vote 0 and vice versa with high ones. It's more likely that low batting average authors will submit crap and high average ones will submit good stuff of course. But my problem is I've seen good stuff get blamed this way as well as bad stuff ge protected.

Also, LF is a cockgobbling nerd... thats not news at all, atleast someone understands that. The only reason I ever thought his original FF movie was funny because he was making fun of himself for the most part. 99% of everything taht he has done has been mediocre garbage with tween happy shit animation.
Make a flash so I can put you on my favorite artists list bitch. I so agree with that. Too bad LF fanboys don't have a mind of their own
A couple of his reviews were abusive, but damn he likes the anti-legendaryfrog flash.
Voting 0 on non-under judgement movies doesn't break the rules though
I'm seeing 1 super banner, only occaisionally though. I thought the slowdown was my peice of shit computer at first too.
Yeah but you can get your experience reset for it. That mostly just happens if 50% or more of your votes are 0's though. Still you at least gave it a chance so I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about fuckwits who vote based on the title or the first few seconds of the movie. Or people who vote 5 just because the author has an A+ average, even if the movie sucks.
