People on NG Disgust me..

[MajestyFrost]

Probably some of the finest flash work done by private people in their own time is on this site, and some of the highest score are like 3.6/5..Do people realize that 4 months to make an amazing film is worth more than a 3?
ARGH

yeah, but we have to go through so much crappy flash to find one or two good movies it makes people very critical.

[VairochanaClock]

NG is fucked-up all around.

[ZombieLennon]

Yeah. Thousands of NG users have no fucking clue how much work is put into some peoples's movies.

[Nightshadeplus]

Most of the time it shows in the cartoon itself how much work was put into it. Not much. Besides, if the cartoon lacks plot, sounds, humor etc, does it deserve a 3 no matter how much time was put into it?

[MI4-REAL-2001]

The new system took out 6000 sad pieces of crappy flash, so it's restored some of NGs integrity.

I am amazed that anyone can understand that statement.

OMG you're on NG?
Does that mean you disgust yourself?

You need to realize that there are people on newgrounds that vote 0's for certain reasons, such as they hate the author, or hate a club, or have no clue what a good flash animation takes. These are the people that take the score down below where it deserves to be sometimes, and there are a lot of these peole.

[ReconRebel]

Nothing is perfect. No matter what NG does, good movies will still get blammed, crap will still be saved. I vote as fair as possible but I've seen stuff that shouldn't have even made it on to the portal get such high votes people MUST be hitting the 5 button by mistake (or they're part of a club, their friend made it, etc.)

[Dark-Knight]

Yeh this kind of thing worry's me if I should bother making a flash !

[tur-mex]

Yea I made a flash in like 1 month...but it got a simple 1.60......I think it deserved a 2.10 at least.
People nowadays don't know how hard it is to make a flash...

[eatingmeals]

I know...Anti Clocks vote 0 without watching. They just don't give a fuck if i worked 78 weeks on the movie. Fucking babies...but the smartest shit they do is submit STIXSK87MOVIEs with 4frames per second crappy sticks moving around the monitor on a Sum41 song...fucking cunts...i'm outta here

[SkuM001]

People go on the top 50 and vote 0 on things they dont like there. They cant say that something on the top 50 deserves 0. Almost all of them deserve 5s and getting towars the bottom. But because they have such good scores a 0 has more impact than a 5 as its out of the norm and drags the score down more than a 5 drags it up. The scores on top 50 are always falling. Thats just how it works.

[Mr-Y]

Yeah, I hate that when that happens, but since everyone gets a low score (the highest - scoring movie was super console wars 2, at 4.50 or some score around that) you get a good reputation if you just get something that's above 3.50. It's all the ignorant users' fault, and those users with dark voting personalities (when their profile's pic is colored red - u prob know that) that get your score down cuz they have high expectations, to try to get a blam point or just for the fun of ruining the reputation of a good movie. That just sucks, but if you have a good movie, most of the users should notice - that's what separating a 3.60 from a 2.20, and will vote high for you. We're just lucky to have them around now.

And another thing - NewGrounds gets so much shit-on-flash nowadays, that almost every movie submitted is a blammed garbage. Some people just submit garbage every day, and they give the portal a bad reputation, so people get too used to blamming, and do not try to save recent portal movies at all.

[EmeraldNiteMare]

True...new, decent stuff, is getting harder and harder to find. All the stuff submitted is just, well, for lack of better terms, crap.

Also, a lot of people judge movies just by their file size. Of course, movies that are just, say, 1 kb in size, will obviously not have any decent content, but even something as small as 200 kb, could be decent.

Another thing people watch are the author's scores. If an author had a bad score before, but then made a very decent movie, probably no one would watch it. They'd just assume, since the author didn't do well b4, they'd not do well again.

Just some thoughts...

[Mr-Y]

O yeah, btw, 3.60 is a pretty good score. Any flash movie above 3.50, i think, or some score around there, should get an EXCELLENT SCORE on the NewGrounds Portal (its title should be highlighted in blue) - it's already considered to be an excellent score here, due to the low standards, because many movies get crappy scores that are betwen 3 and 4.
