Isn't you BA updated daily? A score changes a lot so if it would change every time a score changes it would mean a lot of CPU power and stuff.

hmm. good point. I will wait until tommorow then.

Tommy boy, i'll make sure whenever I submit a movie and want it deleted, I'll hope it meets your standards for possible deletion.

I agree, those are good reasons to not just let people delete. But one of the reasons I would want to delete some stuff is because I was considering using my submissions to Newgrounds as a portfolio of sorts. What happens when the potential employer sees your hit movie, considers hiring you, but then finds out you made a "pikachu pr0n" movie a few years ago? Hehe. Maybe we can keep them on NG, but have anonymity as well. Win/Win. I dunno, just thinking out loud. :D

Hey wait a minute!! It says my submissions were blammed! I hope theres a way for that to be fixed so it'll say "removed" rather than blammed.

Yup, that's why I never bothered to have my old submissions deleted. Also, it adds to your submission count, so then you can rub it in peoples faces in say "Pff I've got like 20x more submissions than that" =p

But really, thanks, this is now my favorite feature that you've installed. Now incase I submit and realize I screwed something up, *click* gone. =)

Yeah, I have moved stuff to alt accounts for artists in the past, for similar reasons. :)

shouldn't that be views?
people still watch old mvoeis but dont vote, this is just askign for mass voting of old movies, leading old mvoeis to get a score they might not deserve...

How could "pikachu pr0n" not impress a potential employer?

Anyway, Thomas, any chance you could delete this and zis for me? I would do, but they're like 410 and 450 votes >: (


Sup, bitches :)

Just an FYI... Please don't delete submissions just to improve your batting average. There are tons of funny submissions with bad scores.

I intend to change the BA system so that it no longer encourages people to remove their low scoring submissions. For example, your batting average may soon be based on your top four submissions, so you could have 100 crappy submissions and still have a good batting average if you have made four really good ones.

I don't think it is fair to punish people for having old submissions, or even for just goofing off. So that's gonna change.

If any entry is taken off the site for whatever reason, it will show up as blammed. That's just the way it is. If you asked me to remove your entry, and I did, it would have said it was blammed. You basically blammed your own work. Think of it that way.

"I don't want my entries on Newgrounds.com anymore! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!"
