Rank: Lt. General
Blams: 10,490
Saves: 11,131
Rank #: 269

Remember the times when the ratios were switched? For every two blam points you would get a save? (just about) I go through fluxes of activity, but my goal is to retire at 15,000 a piece.


I am a new terror born in death, a new superstition entering the unassailable fortress of forever. I am legend.

Awww, you are so right. You should just vote what you think, not just for points. That's what's ruining the rep of the site.


I'm quite jealous of these clever signatures.

I actually blam more than I save. The problem is, nobody else does. So the few that I end up saving, get though to get me save points. But the ones that I blam, vary rarely get blamed and get me a blam point. So there's an alternate explanation to just stat whoring an voting 5 on everything.

Well I hand out fives for UJ submissions about as rarely as I hand out 100 dollar bills.

Just because I have a high saves:blams ratio doesn't mean I five everything out there like you imply. I'm well aware that even with my voting power the resulting difference between voting 5 or 2 is minimal so I might as well just vote fairly anyway.

So, I guess that you would think that I am a statwhore too, although I have quite alot Blam Points, and it is no wonder that I have less Blam Points than Protection Points when even stolen flashes pass nearly every day and crappy flashes too.

I think people will always have more saves than blams mostly because it's saving things is far more common than blamming although it is still possible to get possibly 15+ blams a day while getting 30+ saves a day which does not seem uncommon these days. On another note preaching about this problem does not seem to do much in the forums. If you want better results a better thing to do would be putting the issue into flash format with examples and such so that users in the portal may possibly change voting habits.

lastly...
vote 0 on cookie cutting dressup game, it still passes

My b/p ratio is horrible :P
I used to be a save whore, but I decided that was even more stupid than being a b/p whore.
Getting blams is hard though.

Don't give up the hope, most voters seem to be corrupted, but voting 5 on crappy flashes makes the problem only worse, sadly.

Better to get a save point than get nothing at all.

If more people like you kept to your guns and kept voting 0 on crappy submissions, there'd be a greater chance of keeping them away from the site. It's a shame it falls apart when those such as yourself give up because they kept passing. That's why it's easier for them to pass!

Still, after awhile they will stop passing and thus hopefully users in the flash portal will start blamming them more often.

...and on multiple accounts as well!

Anyone remember the Adolf Hitler Pokemon series? People began to hit the 0 on them and after awhile they completely stopped passing and began getting blammed when they were under judgment!!

Just thinking about this more, there was a time when there were enough people to get a long spam series to get blammed. This was Afro_Stud with his Adolf Hitler Pokemon spam movies and it came to the point where many users were pissed off about it and did what they could to get one movie blammed. They succeeded and Afro_Stud gave up with the series entirely. If only we could do the same again to other crappy submissions that pass on a regular basis.

Not for me, I don't want to take part in turning the portal in a mess, with literally thousandsof dressup games, which are almost the same.

Only solution is to get rid of rankings. As long as there are rankings most people will do everything they can to get to the top.

Okay. Putting aside your terrible voting habits. And besides your comment above. Give me one good reason why you would save a Dress Up game or Kissing game or Hidden Number game or Escape game. They're just the same shitty repetitious games with little to no effort put into making them, and with the minutest changes made before being resubmitted by multiple accounts. AND THIS IS THE BIT I CANT UNDERSTAND. The target audience for these games is like 6 to 13 year old girls which I'm pretty sure, are rare on Newgrounds. So why are you teenage boys voting this repetitive garbage through?? I'm serious why?? It makes absolutely no sense at all.

It bothers me a bit, but normally on the flash that really need to get banned "good" voters tend to outweigh these guys and blam the flash anyways. Blamming is so much more satisfying than saving.

I'm not ashamed to admit, I always vote 5 on everything under judgement. I do this because blams are much harder to get than saves.
