Why? I'm 13 and I barly ever review flash, and when I do it's fair. I'd never go out and gang blam a flash.
Banning all 13 year olds would be stupid and futile, because I doubt it was all 13 year olds doing it to begine with. I say just bann people doing it, it will eventualy stop.

Seems a bit harsh to people who just put clock / lock / glock / star / whatever in their name, especially if they're not officially within the group. Hell, even some forum mods are in some of these groups. Also, how do you plan to stop unknown groups, ike outside forums, from doing anything like this?

If NG groups get pushed 'underground' in the internet world, they'll still exist and everything will get funnier.

Most of the big groups have been pushed underground. Hell, there's most likely mass voting groups out there nobody has heard of.

You could be right, maybe there are groups that no one knows. Maybe a large group of people from ordinary schools that all mass vote on certain movies. There's always a possibility.

actually "newundergrounds" exists. A few people decided to try and weed out other members... but its not for mass voting. We all know that there are "hidden groups" and that many of the groups that are around work togeather depending on the goal.

But this warning will probably go unheeded as usuall. Its also funny that Wade never specifically said anyone was to blaim, but one group in particular was immediatly offended. Anyway... luck to whoever has to sort this shit our in the end.

Better late than never

Nice job Wade! Where would be with out you, I hope they don't come back pieces of crap!!!

what i meant to say was:

wow wade you are doing a great job!!!!! you show them who is the boss around here!!! you are teh kewlies!!! ^_^ and all that other generic crap.

The Barney Bunch is most likely going to try to avoid the new law. They just never give up.

come on this should be on page 23 by now.

Seriously, it's the fucking internet.

Who cares.

i guess that would suck.

Needs more random bug pictures.

Good job Wade. You make Newgrounds a better place, so does Tom and liljim. You make the system so much safer.

just ban the kids under 13. honestly.

but agreed.

I think this is a poor solution.

You have to rub a bit harder and faster for him to splooge.

For the win.

i agree with this, it is wrong, but maybe users have been doing this as there hasn't really been that much of a penalty. A solo artist should stand the same chance as a user from a group, though this is not the case.

i don't want to come off as a hypocrite, as i, too, belong to those newgrounds groups, and have unfairly reviewed movies with a 10 because i liked them, sometimes due to the group. In my honest oppinion, a 10 would be rare, only the cream of the crop should deserve a 10, but in the past i have given out 10's all too often. lately, i try to vote on the movie more fairly, based on content, effort, and humor, as they should be. 0's are used all too much too, though i cba to write a 0 review. the movies that SHOULD deserve a 0, are those that are blammed, but if it passes, it is probably better than a 0 anyways.

Meaning if a Clock or a Lock, or a SS member submits an entry, no other Clock, Lock, or SS member should review it or vote on it until after the weekly awards are over.

this, i do not quite agree with. sure, it makes sonce sence, but i think that is too extreme. now-a-days, 95% of the movies i review, are under judgement, which is when i first see them. to have to go back and review some of those movies a week later seems silly. personally i don't care about the number of reviews i have, i just love to tell authors that i enjoyed their submission as soon as i finished watching it, or to give some constructive criticism where needed.

anyways, this is just a long ramble, instead of doing my work here at school >_< lagatag's post annoyed me, as he probably doesn't understand the situation fully, yet he still decides to call them noobs, even though they are probably far more familiar with newgrounds and visit more often than he does; nothing against you personally, lagatag. though i do feel something should be done about this, i think that some of the reactions are a bit too extreme.

oh yeah, on the subject of the SS winning the RCP this week (saddly i am biased as i helped make the movie) but i think that was a good submission, in which us artists worked hard to put that collab together. it's been months since we started it, and at last we have finished, but i'm sure many users won't even watch it, and will just 0 it because it is a SS movie :/

i should probably get back to work, as class is almost over. maybe i shall collect my thoughts, and finish spewing them over the page once i get home :p
