How does it work out how to add voting power through these, do you need to get a certain amount first or is it based on something else entirely
*knows the answer will probably obvious and is getting ready to kick himself

How does one receive Blam/Protection points?
Blam/protection points can only be made on a movie that is "under judgment" (they appear gray in the portal). If you vote a 0 or a 1 on a movie, and it becomes subsequently deleted (see below for deletion qualifications), then you get a blam point. Conversely, when you vote 2, 3, 4, or 5 on a movie that goes on to be protected (not deleted), then you will get a protection point.
Movies are (currently) deleted if they fall below the listed score at the listed number of votes - they cannot be deleted after they pass through these check-points (Judgement), unless they violate the portal rules, in which case you should e-mail Wade, informing him of the violation so he may remove it if necessary:
50 votes - 1.0
75 votes - 1.25
100 votes - 1.60
What are Blam/Protection points good for?
Blam/Protection points are primarily useful in that they give a % bonus to your voting power (which otherwise would be strictly based upon your experience). The % bonus depends on your level.
If a movie is removed because it is stolen, malicious, or unsuitable and I voted a 0 or 1 on it while it was under judgement, do I still get the blam point?
Yes.
What are the various Blam/Protect levels, how many Blam/Protect points do you need to get them, and what are their %-to-vote bonuses?
The following lists all the various Blam/Protect levels, with link to their picture, featuring (respectively): its level name, combined Blam/Protect score to enter level, blam/protection points required to get to that level from the previous one, and the percent bonus to voting power from being in that level (with thanks to Ramagi for providing the exact statistics - Please see The Offical blam/save rank list).

indeed. also, it's actually:
150 votes - 1.0
175 votes - 1.25
200 votes - 1.61
I believe. All I know is, one of the admins has said that 1.60 gets deleted, 1.61 gets saved. Don't know if rounding matters or not.
I assume the other two are 1.0 and 1.25, but it's possible they're actually 1.01 and 1.26, so... whate'er.

according to the official "help" section it states "If it reaches checkpoint #3 and still has not achieved an average score equalling/above 1.6, it will also be auto-deleted." notice the word equaling , i can only assume, if my logic is indeed correct, that a movie can score exactly a 1.6 and still stay in the portal :-D

Like I said, one of the admins (probably liljim), has said that it needs a 1.61 to get saved, that 1.60 is a blam. And he said it a lot more recently than that help document was written, I'll guarantee you that.
That wouldn't be the first thing in the help section that was true once but was slightly changed or modified since, without being updated.

point taken, but i find it kinda odd that they would change it by a margin of .01 eh, why does anyone do anything anyway, the world may never know. :-P

the portal works in mysterious ways.
I've never been the final save on anything with a 1.61 or the final blam on anything with a 1.60, so I can't confirm it for you personally, I'm just letting you know what liljim (I believe) said within the past few months.

I have both blammed and saved at 1.60... (This of course before what ever the admins said about it being 1.61 to survive) With the pico voting animation, I probably would have seen 1.6015 or something when I saved it, and 1.5997 when I blammed it. It rounds to the nearest whole number, but those last few spots after the decimal DO count.
The point is... Don't lose your dinosaur.
this subject comes up more than a lot of noob questions. there should ba a faq about this stuff....

Hmmm... it would be neat in some ways to have more than the hundredth's place listed for VP and movie scores and the like, but just two digits right of the decimal point is tidier, I suppose...
Anyway, if that's all true, then it indeed used to split exactly at 1.6000000etc.

Newgrundling had several FAQs about it. But he hasn't updated them or reposted them in recent months.
Or did you mean an official one?

huh? We moved everything up to 200 votes so that system could be CHANGED and improved. That's not the way it still is, if you hadn't noticed already. O_o

I had wondered about how to get blam/protection points for a long long time until I read it in a post.
