It's spam, and not really adding anything. It's like that guy who posts "lol" not really needed is it?
Mine was a question - an honest question. I expected an answer, and, as i recall i got one - 'no' of course, but this wouldn't have been the first time the KK resubmitted a blammed flash without improvement so i figured instead of accusing them i'd simply ask them.
I'm glad you share my sentiments. It's a painful position we share, having so much frustration to show with these people sometimes and yet not being able to utter a word for fear of ourselves getting banned - where's the justice?
That's what gets me the most - some of the KK members are infamous for their hateful responses - a person can leave a response like "your characters are uninspired, the film lacked length and the plot was underdeveloped" and they'll retort with "shut up fagot bitch fuck u" and flag the person's original, polite and helpful review.
I think if you cannot give a negative review then they shouldn't be called 'reviews'. Bad reviews are still reviews. If a person shows constructive criticism, that is NOT abuse, it's helping a person, goddamn it - these people who flag that shit would never last in an art school if they can't take a little bit of criticism.
haha hell, that reminds me of a time i criticised a featured piece of art on DeviantArt and the guy got all huffy about it, came back and flamed all my artwork and sent me threatening e-mails. As i recall he got some stern warnings by the administrators. Some times, in some places, justice is served.

I sent the idea to Wade, but sending it more wouldn't hurt i bet. I mean, it's an obvious step to take even minus the voting thing - a system to claim oneself as a part of a crew should undoubtedly be implemented by Newgrounds - it's long overdue. The voting thing would just help clean up some trash while we're at it ;-)

I vote 0 when I see a lame movie, as do others, which explains why movies like this are barely passing judgement.
And we are also the reasons that these sometimes fail, but these crews have it worked out - they know their own voting power and how many of them it'll take to pass something by themselves, with every other vote being zero. And the more they pass things, the higher their voting power goes and the easier it becomes for them to continually pass their flashes in this manner. A few days ago the KK passed a flash that was a blank screen. Literally that was it. Then when they succeeded they mocked everyone for letting it pass in their edited description. I'm pretty sure it was removed pretty quickly, but this kind of thing really shouldn't happen and it just shows how bad the problem is.

Amen, brother! Actually i've found that there are significantly less forum whores on the NG forums. That's quite an honor - the rest of the net's not really like that. Hell it's why i don't usually bother with forums and why it took me so long to visit this one.

They have plenty of attention. Just because i mention the KK alot doesn't mean this message is solely concerning them. They're just the most significant group of late, and simply ignoring them isn't going to change that fact. Most of the people who review their flashes and 'give them what they want' are people with brand new accounts who dont' know better than to blast a flash in the portal like that, so they're gonna keep getting that kind of response as long as they want.
KK will eventually dissipate. They won't go completely, no doubt - none of them really have, but they'll die off significantly. It'll probably take the better part of a year though at least, and within another year a group will come to replace them as king shitheads.
You know, the KK could probably submit a blatantly stolen flash and pass it before it got removed. Like somethinn obvious like Foamy or something. That's what it really comes down to.
You see, the KK itself isn't the problem. The idea of mass voting is the problem.
