No comments this time because of exams, because I missed a day, and because I'm just lazy like that. Sue me :(

I've noticed the new icons next to the news posts, and they look pretty cool. I do think that the admins should spend their spare time on developing new B/P levels, though, but whatever.

As for accomplishments, I hit 24,000 B/P earlier.

I fianlly broke into the top #2000 B/P!
Not much but i'm still quite proud.
:o.

Blam/Protect: Ranked # 1,994 out of 762,392 users!

Congrats to everyone, Once again I'm being lazy and plase excuse it.

Yep, they are pretty good. Now maybe more new users will read the rules before hand as to asking questions so easily found in them.

YES! Would be an awsome new aura! :D

That's what I thought.

Heh, it's how I learn about this site everyday. :)

Coolness. If cool points were ever incorperated into this site, you could have that aura. B)

There was an unsuitable flash that was submitted three times today. I blew the whistle on it the first and third time (wasn't fast enough to catch it the second time). I also dropped a zero on it in advance. My two questions are:

A.) Do I still get the blam point if it's removed from the portal?

Oh, you get the 'Error - Not Found' message? Mmm, I think so, it would only be fair if you did vote on it.

B.) Do I get separate whistle points for catching it twice even though it's the same submission?

I do belive so, I've flagged resubmits of the same thing over and over, so I hope I'm getting them.

When they make the new profiles [hahahaha], then they might make new badges and upgrade the images of them and the levels, but I think they look good, just need more badges. But 'maybe' being the key word here.

Well, congratulations to everyone who got their stats. Too lazy to make a list. :P

Damn, I'm close to the 150 rank...

I was 158 last night, and my old racing buddy [The_Redangleprince] has given up on b/p, and NG it seems. He's 152, and I've got a 50 or so gap, so I might get to 150 tonight, along with 3k saves.

Haha, you only say that because you've been stuck there a freaking while, but in my opinion, it's a great level icon, at least better than the golden ones (except for the last axe and the spear obviously).

my second stat to get over 1000: Blams

I'll be an EGP by this time tommorow.

I reached 31 000 blam/protect pts and I passed goodguyo.

I was too lazy to take a screenshot. :)

im a level 2 but in one more day, ill be level 3.

Finally! 3000 exp. I'll be level 12 in about 20 days now! Its sad though, that 3000 exp used to mark around level 14.

Congrats! Well, that's the price of having that level 30 depositing everyday. Oh well, 1,000 exp used to be like level 10. But, it's sadly much much higher. That's the price of that evil depositer.

That I'm not sure of, but it would be good if you did.

I had a feeling you'd still receive the point UndercoverStudios, I just wanted confirmation.

B.) Do I get separate whistle points for catching it twice even though it's the same submission?

You get your whistle point for the submission entry, not the author or movie, so yes in this case you get 2 points.

So is it the same for abusive reviews that are flagged? One whistle point per abusive review removed? I remember reading a post that said you get more whistle points for blowing the whistle as opposed to marking reviews.

Bah. There's still the level 23 "Q-Tip" icon. Once you get past the ear cleaner the rest of the levels are cool.

Yeah, that's the general consensus. I'm always amazed to see the garbage whistle in a user's profile. Does Wade remove abusive reviews on a regular schedule or only when he's not swamped with other stuff?

I'm having a shitty night on the portal.

Sorry I haven't been around and I'm so far behind(Guess what, that means you all get generic congrats). My computer was getting fixed. So congrats all!

YO, I'm finally level 9.

I need 930 experience pts to reach the next level. Oh well. It will approximately take me 3 months and a week. It's not that bad.

It's not that bad at the lower levels, but start missing experience deposits at the higher levels and you'll never get anywhere. The backslide effect will see to that (see humantarget52).

Don't get your hopes up too early ^_^

1,000 exp points!!! 3rd secrect of course sucked... but hey, I expected as much... I'm about a little over a month away from level ten. Thanks for all the encouragement thus far, you guys are all great!

heh, I already know this stuff and I saw what happened to high level users that stopped to deposit regularly. :)

Don't get your hopes up too early ^_^

If I did, my main account wouldn't be level 13 :)

I appreciate the warm congratulations from Bahamut7 ramagi and -Mazza-. As I wrote in my profile, I rank up like a snail in the summer break. However, I am still quite satisfied with my current B/P ranking. I hope that I can be one of the top 400 B/P user before my 20th birthday. (July 22nd) Any way, I noticed that my exp rank went in top 5500 after today's deposit. So I guess it is a ":D" for me.

17, is a lot. I've only been to 4 other countries except for Sweden. Though we're considering traveling to Czech.

I've been to 25 or so countries myself. Mostly in the 80s and a bit in the 90s. I haven't been out of the United States (unless you count brief one-day border-hops into Canada and Mexico) in 10+ years, though.

I had quite the travel-filled childhood, all over East Asia and Europe.

At 6/9/05 01:02 AM, ReconRebel wrote: A.) Do I still get the blam point if it's removed from the portal?

We're supposed to, but if you've ever heard Dogma complaining about this over the past couple of years... then you'd know that most people don't get very many blams (if any) when the whistle lists are cleared, EVEN THOUGH they have indeed whistled some entries and also voted to blam a TON of entries that ended up getting whistled (and yes, we're supposed to get the blam points when those entries get deleted, even if we just voted to blam but didn't whistle as well).

There's just something faulty in the innards of the system. This has been proven throughout 2003 and 2004 by Dogma and myself and others who keep careful track of our own b/p (in my case, every single day), and we are positively certain we've not been granted all the blams we should have (hey, I ain't complaining... I like my save2blam ratio being high #;-}>... but it always pissed Dogma off, that's for sure). It IS possible that it's fixed now... but I doubt it. So.... in short, if something gets whistled after you've voted on it/whistled it, consider your blam or save gone forever.

This is why movies that are getting blammed anyway, BTW, shouldn't be whistled. Not only does it deprive 100+ people of their blam point, but it clogs up the whistle list that Wade will eventually just dump months later... AND... it stops the "3 blams within a certain time period = ban from submitting" magic. Only stolen/abusive/obscene movies that are getting SAVED should be whistled, IMO. So vote first, whistle second.

B.) Do I get separate whistle points for catching it twice even though it's the same submission?

You get an amount of points towards your whistle power based on how many flashes (that you whistled) end up getting dumped to the graveyard by Wade. It doesn't matter what's in the .swf files or who the authors are.

7/5 of the population don't understand fractions ^_^

And the other 5.5/2 do but just don't give a damn.

Unfortunately, the confirmation you got from him and RC is the way it's theoretically SUPPOSED to happen... but not how it actually happens in 95%+ of the time.

So is it the same for abusive reviews that are flagged? One whistle point per abusive review removed? I remember reading a post that said you get more whistle points for blowing the whistle as opposed to marking reviews.

No one but the admins knows how many "points" you get for anything, or how many points people like ramagi, TheJoe, and myself have. But yes, it has been said that flagged movies being deleted gets you more whistle points (and thus more power) than flagged reviews being deleted does. There are hundreds of flagged movies. There are tens of thousands of flagged reviews. It only makes sense that the laws of supply and demand apply.

...

anyway, a couple of random things I didn't feel like quoting but noticed while scanning the past 15 pages or so... and thus wanted to touch upon:

A) Bahamut... that framejob post on latingrounds was so OBVIOUSLY not you. I doubt very many people believed it at all. I knew it was teh lie when I saw it, and hell, I don't know your posting style all THAT well, but I knew it wasn't you saying that shit. #;-}>

B) regarding -5 ending exp amounts on NG and RG... I specifically avoided signing up for anything when I created all my NG accounts that would dump me with a -5 ending exp amount. The only cool thing about it would be 5555, after all. Whereas, -0 ending exp amounts are cool every 100 (or 1000, depending on your tastes) exp.

If anyone really wants to ditch the -5 on RG, let me know and I can admin the 5 away and leave you with a -0 ending exp amount. I've done it for myself and one or two other users.

annnnnnnnnnnd... one last thing:
