Let's assume 3 of those entries were good, and the other 47+ were shit. Guess what, it still flooded out the recent top 50, meaning all the people who actually spent well more than ten minutes on their stuff would be cheated out of people seeing their stuff. That all seems pretty wrong to me.
You attacked the portal by disrupting how it was designed to work. As such everything got deleted. Stop crying
On the last Daily Day, the EXACT same thing happened though. All entries were total shit, and they made the portal overflow well past the 50 limit.
Let us examine what Tom/Wade Fulp did back then. They made a collection to commemorate the day, frontpaged one of the shitty submissions, and publicized the Daily Day with a frontpage posting.
Yet, this is no different at all. Oh wait, there is one difference. A few of the duck submissions were actually entertaining.
Anyways--I think the reason for the overreaction is because about an hour right before the duck submissions, there was a bonusstage portal bomb that flooded the portal. The admins possibly were still in a deleting mood perhaps.....
Hopefully, they figure out that this wasn't a true portal flood and let the Duck Day happen again.
