Gaining B/P without voting 2010-08-28 07:57:27 Reply

More precisely without voting accordingly.
As of Yesterday I had 13,582 blams, upon waking I've now reached 13,589. I've been attempting to accumulate saves as of lately, so I'm quite well aware my previous blam total has remained static for around a month.
Is this an indication of my account being compromised in some way, or more likely the result of previously flagged flashes being deleted?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Yeah some account got deleted yesterday and everybody who voted 0 on his flashes received blam points. I got about 80 myself and Haggard got over 200.

Ahhh, thanks man, definitely some good news. I've been about as cautious with my account as possible, I've never had anyone deposit for me, nor is my password ever an easy one.
A few years ago I had thought for sure my account was hacked into after a flash submission was submitted under my account name with no co-author.
I have recently learned there was a slight glitch in the system at that time which allowed for someone to pull off such a feat without actually gaining access to ones account. I thought perhaps something similar to this case had happened again.

That's nuts though, you guys gained 80 and 200? I'm curious as to who was deleted, as they obviously passed quite a number of shitty flashes consistently.
Anyhow thanks again my good man, definitely glad to know there was no amount of hacking nor manipulation of my account.

Nope. Nothing to worry about. This happens once every few months, when Wade or some other admin decides to go through all the flagged submissions.

I don't know if they all came from the same user. It could be that all stolen flashes and such were cleared and several users were deleted. I also lost 3 reviews in the process and they weren't for shitty flashes so... I don't know exactly what happened. But you'll find all the submissions in yesterdays obituaries page.

If they were flagged under judgment then those people never got any saves to begin with.

If something was taken down after it passed judgment, I believe the blammers get their blam point while the saviours keep their save points. Not 100% sure about that though, but I do know you can never lose saves or blams.
