A lot of Spam was submitted in January too. You guys have some control right? You have groups of idiots, who insult race, gender, ethnicisity, religion, and everything in between. Their flashes stay below the "limit" you say is there to keep content high. The only people who vote them in are the people in their groups. If you have a rule that say, said members of a group cannot vote on it's own submissions, these things would never get past the initial vote.
Trust me, it's very hard to check that people who are affiliated with the group that submitted the movie or game in the first place are actually voting on their own group's flash. Alternate accounts, the fact that people's account names usually have nothing to do with the group they belong to are just two of these things.
(KK), (DD), (KKK), are just a few of these pathetic spammers. There is even a group growing called the Voters Alliance that is chock full of good members like myself, that are sick and tired of Newgrounds pages being filled with this crap. We come here for the real artists, who work hard on thier art, being overwhelmed by this growing rate of crap being submitted. I've been here for years, and you're letting it get worse.
Personally, I'm not letting it get any worse - I vote fairly on each and every flash that I see and I feel that my record of nearly 20,000 Blams speaks for itself. The problem being that kids who come to the portal realise that it is so much easier to get Saves if you vote 2-5 on any given flash than for voting 0 or 1 on any given flash will give you Blam points.
Regardless of this fact, people should vote on each flash that they see on the merit of it, rather than the fact it is by a spam group, so vote 2, or it's by one of the more recognised users of Newgrounds - Vote 5, for example.
Get ahold of these wastes of resources before it gets competely out of hand.
I think it already has gotten completely out of hand - August 15th 2007 and August 15th 2008. Clock day sees far too many flash passing judgement with barely a sign of any blams out there. The thing that really galls me is that we see some 1 frame screamers that will get by with a green or even a blue score.
