Heh, just went through the first 3 pages of his posts, and you ain't kidding. If he seriously wants to get nominated for this list, he'll need to sort that out... but somehow, I get the feeling he was only posting here for the +1.

Everything Basspro does is for the +1. All his posts are just silly one liners. Also all his reviews are just silly one liners. At least he varies them a bit more than last time, when he got 500+ deleted in one go... oh what fun we had!

500 reviews. They basically said all the same:
"Basspro55 says: Cool

I reported him shortly after the review mods got their power back. It brought my alt straight from normal to gold whiste, heh.

Woooah. Well, I guess that tells me everything I need to know about his character. I've heard from other sources too that he's a bit of a suck up to the admins, on paltalk, etc. Maybe he fancies his chances of being modded? ;P

500 reviews deleted... I've already seen it on Clock Day when Simon (I think) made reviews like this: "I voted 5. Woohoo, Clock Day!"

The tool for looking into our reviews was still down, so it took a while to report him. Actually, he reported himself!

Anyway, I flagged all of them, and that gave me a deity whistle. So shiny...

lolol, oh basspro... yesterday he bumped like 6 of his threads in general... -sigh- now he's trying to get into the RCVL? oh haha... basspro, you'd have to actually help people out, or do SOMETHING to make the list! Being a stat whore isn't good enough to make it in here.

Daaamn. I've only ever had like 2 or 3 reviews deleted (to my knowledge) back in 2005, when I had a far lesser understanding about the review guidelines.

Maybe you can overtake her EXP-wise someday, just like how I've passed many people that I thought I'd never beat. However, if you do happen to overtake LittleWashu, she'll think it's not such a big deal. ;)

No deposit missed, but review average could be a bit higher..

Don't complain, it was the highest average for reviews. :)

I'll never make it into the top 100 reviewers if I don't speed up a bit. :/

Oh yes, that's true. Even if you've got the highest reviewing average, you still need to enter the flash reviews list.

I suggest Casualty to change that soon. Total points should include audio reviews now. since whenever I make my first pentalist (was thinking of this Sunday, but I won't make one just yet if the site has too many Internal Server Errors), audio reviews will be included.

Congrats to him. He deffinatly deserved it. Wouldn´t be suprised if he got voted on the memberslist if he keeps going like this.

We'll see how he is by August/September then. :)

But why do you only add one person? We lost 4 members on this update, wouldn´t it be better to add at least two new members? I think we should always add one more person if some people get ascended or voted off.

I was thinking of allowing more than one regular to come on the new list, but I already did that on the last two updates when usually, they would have had one new regular coming in. However, next time we get a Memberlist election, I will allow more then one person to become a new regular. :)

I'm surprised that no-one outvoted Major-Punk. Maybe I should have taken him off myself, but I'm just the one who's keeping this list running, not a Wi/Ht? regular. The only ones who should take him off are the regulars or the members voting someone onto the Memberlist.

Yes, well there are several members of which I think that they should be taken off right now. Major-Punk is one of them, but the two who currently got the out-votes also deserved them imo. Personally I don´t think it would be such a bad idea to have two out-votes for the next update.

That's a great idea. Usually, I won't allow this, but I think it's necessary for once considering the amount of inactive users on the list who were more active two years ago. On the list, I can name three users who are very very inactive and two users who are probably not active enough in this forum.

Next election, all regulars will be allowed to outvote up to two users!

Not really. I remember one user getting all 200+ of his reviews deleted for saying the exact same thing. Those 200 flagged and deleted reviews gave me some nice whistle points, even though I was already a Deity whistle user at the time. However, I wasn't flagging them to get more whistle points. I simply flagged them all because they were abusive reviews. Also, there IS a rule saying this:

Do not post TONS and TONS of crappy reviews just to get high in the rankings. If we catch someone doing this we will delete all their reviews - wouldn't that be a pain in the ass? Take your time and write a sincere review for every movie you wish to critique. Make sure your review is relative to the submission. Reviews that are found to offer no benefit to the author may be deleted.

It's possible, but kind of extreme. I did actually think it might be something along those lines when it first got out, but I just dismissed the idea. There are easier ways of cutting oneself off socially, though, especially on the internet.

If anyone ever did this third option... they would either have to keep it up forever so as to not have the entire site mad at them (or most of it, at least).... or they would have to be really, really amoral and just not care.

Hmm... perhaps, alternatively, he was just curious as to the reaction he'd receive should he actually die. It's obviously substantially easier to fake your own death on the internet than it is IRL, so possibly an experiment? Goodness knows.

I find it odd that a friend of his would continue to use his account, though. I mean, hypothetical scenario: someone I knew IRL was a member of an internet website, and I knew the password to his account due to the fact that I'd looked after it for a while as a favour. This person dies, and I decide to let the other members of this site know due to the fact he was a fairly well-known member. I wouldn't ever keep using the account afterwards. If I liked the site enough to want an account, I'd make my own out of respect.

I dunno, this is all speculation and hypothetical, and nobody REALLY knows what's going on. I'm going to attempt to drop the issue from now on and just go with the flow. :P

Maybe he wanted to lose all contact with NGers, but I'm pretty sure I would have something from him about doing that. Myself, if I ever wanted to do nothing but deposit on NG, I wouldn't make a fake death. Faking my death on NG would only upset people such as yourself and my fans over something that isn't true. Anyone who asks me where I am I'd say to them via PM about my current activity.

Yeah, there sure have been a lot of errorpages lately. I wonder if it's due to the MySQL update, or... what.

Must be due to the MySQL upgrade. I'm not saying it's made things worse, because it hasn't. I've noticed that whenever I go on NG first thing, it always takes a bit of time to load a page. However, since the upgrade, I've not experienced that wait. All the NG staff need to do is find a solution to these errors.

Can you please stop calling me Bahaman or Bahamen as I keep reading it as? Man = Human. :(

Well, it's not my fault you keep seeing an e instead of an a, dude. #;-}>

Also, "Bahaman" could refer to an inhabitant of the Bahamans... or to something from the Bahamans. Such as a Bahaman shirt. Or, hey... look at that relaxed Bahaman... he's definitely an islander, eh?

I, Bahamut, prefer to not be called Bahaman at all. OK?

I can't believe it! I though I'd get a vote or two and not enter the list, but 14 votes?

That's being modest. ;) Then again, I am a pretty modest person most of the time.

Not modesty, I'd say. Getting 14 votes is something high, last time I checked here NEVR got 6 votes, I think. But not many people voted then comparing to last election.

NEVR got those 6 votes in March and that update didn't get as much votes as the last two for several reasons:

1. That was the first Regulars Update since ages. Most of the users weren't too aware of the comeback.
2. Around half of all the regulars were inactive.
3. There were of course, not as many newer regulars voting.

We'll see how he is by August/September then. :)

I've done it on all my updates. Ever since audio reviews were placed on profiles, Xiivi combined flash reviews with audio reviews for his regular updates.

As I was typing that, I started to suspect that had been the case, hence my mention of March 1.

I didn't remember Xiivi had done that, too, though. Only natural to continue it that way, then.

I remember that. What a wacko he is/was/always will be?

IMO, he will always be a wacko. Has been so for years now and is still one. ;)

It's based on weighted votes. 1st vote is worth 3 points, 2nd vote is worth 2 points, 3rd vote is worth 1 point.

We (the ones who vote) can vote for three users. The first one we vote for gets 3 points, the second 2 and the third gets 1 point.
So, many users voted you on first place in their votes ;)

liljim's post said they were adding "replication slaves" to the cluster. Now, I'm not positive what that means, but it sounds like they were adding some layers of server redundancy so that errors won't happen as much, with other systems backing each other up.... you can never have too much redundancy, provided the redundancy doesn't slow things down too much, of course. So.... has anyone noticed for sure if there's been a difference since the downtime?

No, but I was going along the lines that if you have more reviews, than that amount becomes a more 'normal' amount to have in your mind, so if you have 170 (like myself), than 500 seems like a lot. If you have ~1,250 (like Bahamut), then 500 doesn't seem like such a lot.

There seems to have been a definite decline in the amount of server error I've been getting whilst navigating around the site. I think since the downtime I've only gotten 1 server error, whereas previous to that, I'd be getting them every 20 minutes or so.

Trust me, I'm pretty sure Bahamut would feel the impact of 500 reviews being deleted, whether they're his or not. Especially if 400+ of them had responses. THE HORROR, THE HORROR.

Cool beans. I haven't gotten any full on error pages (either on the site proper, or in movie pop-up windows), which had started to become a regular event as of late... but I have still gotten a few "errors while voting," where you have to click the vote panel a 2nd... or 3rd... or 4th... time to get your vote to go through, even after the downtime.

Yeah, that is annoying, I've had that a few times now as well. Since I said that I'd only had one server error, I typically had a few more, but nothing major. Seeing as it's less frequent then it used to be, it's not a huge deal... but when it was a common occurrence, it did get kinda annoying. :(

I've also had it happen when trying to post a post, as well, in addition to vote on an entry, now. Both have happened since my post above. But no other errors, thankfully, beyond once or twice on the vote side, and just once on the posting side.

Well, looking at his last 10 reviews, they're just one-liners, which is what KWAS did, but at least Basspro was caught and didn't end up making over 10000 reviews. So yes, you're right on that one. KWAS nowadays doesn't review much, but I have to admit, his newer reviews do look better.
