I haven't been able to dig out a fresh copy of Flash 8, but I've seen this before. My brain is telling me strongly that this was one of the Flash 8 internal tutorials, assets and all.

I can't confirm it hard enough to hit the flag though.

I have a question, trying to rule out a bug:

I know Blams are super slow, and I usually get 2-8 a day...but I haven't gotten a single Blam point since the site revamp. I checked the obits and things are being blammed, including things I voted in that range for, but no point credit.

11 got blammed today, and I voted on 9 of them. I'm quite sure at least half of those would have been a 0-1 range vote, but still no points. Saves are working as intended.

I keep my stats daily for personal interest/narcissism, I'm hoping others may have noticed as well. Stats for reference below. I've kept stats since 21 Mar 18, and with the exception of taking breaks I haven't until now had more than one day spots of no-blams here and there. Three days in a row is an anomaly.

(I didn't think this merited it's own topic in Wi/Ht? and folks here may be more likely to have kept track. Tagging @liljim as I'm like 99% sure its a bug)

I keep forgetting about NG Logs so my stats there get recorded only sporadically (sorry byteslinger). Now that the excel is done up I can just plug numbers in daily, and it pops up with line graphs for extra feel good.

I like my blam points as much as the next guy, but I wouldn’t rate this as highest concern on what is likely a massive list of things to iron out after the update. It’s a fun stat, but really it matters only to a small number of active users who enjoy seeing numbers and shiny badges. The important part of the function is still working: the blam system is still sending low quality submissions to the graveyard.

Nice work keeping an eye on this.

Yup. Me too. I don't keep a log like you, but I have noticed that I haven't been getting any blams, despite voting in the 0-1 range on at least two Madness Day submissions that got blammed. I specifically remember voting on this submission in the 0-1 range, yet my blams have not gone up. I was just about to make a thread about this today, thinking it was just a sporadic problem that happens to certain users, but seeing these responses, it seems like it might be happening to everyone.

Also, I don't get 2-8 blams every day like you, but then again, I don't get, like, 40 B/P a day. Usually not more than 10. If I've done more than five the days before I can allow myself to do a little fewer than 5.

If you vote 1, you just might give it that extra lil bit it needs to pass. If you want to have the best chance of blam, always vote 0, not 1.

Well yeah, but I try to always be fair. I shouldn't be rating for personal gain, I should be rating fairly based on the submission's quality. Therefore, if I vote 1, its quality has given it that extra lil bit.

Apologies, I think you're right. I've band-aided this as a temporary fix for things going forward, working on a more permanent solution now.

I'm really liking the hew half points ability. There's always a few cases where everything is working as intended in a game, but it just doesn't have the oomph for me to give it a passing score. It used to be I'd vote low and leave a review. I'm figuring out the change to my personal criteria for the new system. I might give a 0.5 rather than a 1 now, and also likely wont use a 1.5 because that really just a bad 2.

Thanks liljim, I know you're quite busy right now ironing things out.

Aside, I wonder if this new system will bring back the red "verge of death" border on UJ submissions. I've not seen one since starting to look for them in March. I remember years ago that used to be a bit of a game, to look for and win the hunt for them.

It has to be glitch in the back end - I haven't seen a blam either since the revamp, and I know that some games and movies that I blammed actually did not pass. I initially chalked it up as a lag in processing, but it's been a few days now and still holding at zero delta.

Maybe @LilJim should take a look at this? I'm sure it's something easy to fix, right?

And thank you all for still using NGLOGS and NGSTATS - I had mentioned there would be some good changes over the summer, and I did work on them, but real life slowed me down a bit. Also waiting on some new API interface calls that @BrenTheMan and I were working on that will speed up data collection. It'll be great once we get it all together!
