I dunno about you, but I've voted zero on a lot of stuff lately, especially with all this "flash flood" rubbish.

Agreed.

100% Yes absolutely. This should have happened a long time ago. A long, long time ago.

Same here, not because of the flash flood per say (some of that stuff is actually pretty good) but on crappy submissions that still don't disappear. It's average of... 2-3 blam points per day, maybe? That's just too low..

1 We lost the ability to flash abusive flash so we lost a source of extra blam points through abuse removal and the new system of portal mods unpublishing flash doesn't award blam points since it isn't blammed.

Yeah when the hell are they gonna bring that back?

OK...A: finding out about all the blind voting makes me want to cry. B: Here's an Idea I haven't seen yet: as of right now a vote of zero equals 0 and you just have to pass a certain threshold of points per vote to be protected. Yet still alot of crap gets through.....even a vote of one(which seems like it should be blammable) actually helps things get through.......so what if a vote of zero gave the flash a score of -10 and one would be -5 let a vote of 2(which is the I'll accept it because I can't get rid of it vote) be zero...and then 3,4,5 can give a flash actual points.
So the idea is Give a Blam vote some power....don't let it be a vote that says this doesn't deserve to be voted on....give a "Fuck this bullshit" vote some weight.
Am I missing something here?
I know its "everything by everyone" but now we are at the point where we are Really dealing with what were the problems of the future....now they are the problems of today

What I meant was that the reason there's so few flashes getting blammed is because people are auto voting 5.

Also, voting auto voting 0 isn't trolling.

Exactly.

Same, dude... For the goodness of our portal! No test flashes in our portal! Only pro's!

which is why I think NG should install a system that makes sure the content is watched before the votes COUNT...

You know, I miss the amateur flashes that popped up everywhere a few years back. Now it seems like most animations are commercially made, for a definite purpose, not just for fun. Well maybe not the animations, but pretty much all the games. Content is no longer as unpredictable as it was.
