Blams / Saves
Q: How does one receive 'Blam' or 'Protection' points?
A: Blam and Protection points are earned by voting on a movie that is "under judgment" (submissions marked as such in the Portal). If a user votes a 0-1 on a movie and it is subsequently deleted (see deletion qualifications below), the user receives one Blam point. Conversely, when a user votes 2-5 on a movie that successfully passes the judgement phase then that user receives a protection point.
Movies are deleted if they fall below the listed score at the listed number of votes:
* 100 votes: 1.0
* 150 votes: 1.25
* 200 votes: 1.60
Q: What are these extra points good for?
A: Blam and Protection points increase a user's voting power (which otherwise would be strictly based upon experience). The increase is a percentage bonus based on the user's level. For information on the Blam/Protect levels, including rank names, badge pictures, and associated voting percentage bonus, view the complete list of ranks.
Q: What if a movie is removed because it is stolen, malicious, or unsuitable?
A: Users who voted 0-1 on a deleted submission while it was under judgement still get a Blam point.
