Your right. Handling administration on a website with hundreds of thousands of user of which thousands are spammers is gumdrops and rainbows. But seriously, a badass like Wade doesnt need help from a whiny cunt


Due to complaints about my last signature having the incorrect use of "there" I am now changing it to fuck you.

The only awards those groups seem to be stealing is turd of the week. Now sure it's low to use an alt for voting on your own flash but correct me if Im wrong but those lack luster flash groups seem to only get he bare minimum.

Not prohibited, but highly discouraged, especially if you are making spam flashes and mass voting, etc.

I'd like to post about this guy.

http://buddhageo.newgrounds.com/

He signed up in July of '07 and has 788 saves, yet 0 blams. I've checked SEVERAL flashes and reviews of him and they mostly have 2 minute long intros, and then some crap. Recently, he submitted Guitar Hero - Flash Game and it says that we need a new flash player. I have the latest flash. (last time I checked). But, even if I don't, putting two minute long intros which, really, should only have taken thirty seconds is absurd.

What I'm thinking is that he used several accounts + friends to help pass them all.

Which brings me to this next point. A good way to filter out spam submissions!!!

Have a moderator or admin view the flash to make sure someone won't die of a seizure because some a**h*** decides to put a flash that says "OMMMG!!!! OLLOLOLKLYUZ1!!!!!1!!1!1! i TRIKD UUUUU!!!" or whatever.

I know that would take a long time and less submissions would go through less slowly, but then the portal won't be filled with all these stupid flashes that flash all the colors in one second. I seriously think I almost had a seizure when one of those flashes came up. It was a loud note that rumbled my speakers and scared the crap out of me, along flashing colors. I was alone at the time. Next thing I know, I have a huge headache and my fingers began to spazz out and my legs, too. I couldn't keep the mouse still so i press alt+F4. After about ten minutes of sitting in my chair with spazzing legs and fingers, it stopped. I wasn't completely convulsing from head to bottom. Just my hands and legs. But I was flipped out.

I'm not sure how many people have experienced that before themselves, or maybe even worse... but I was scared to death when that was going on.

But, anyway... having a moderator or admin viewing the flash before it being submitted to the portal for regular NG users to view, vote and save/blam it.

Just a suggestion...

People need to watch the entries to make sure they aren't being tricked by a fancy intro, etc. Too many people just vote 5 because they want the points because they think the entry will end up passing. That attitude has lead to this problem. Screw the points, vote 0 if an entry deserves it. If enough people help do this, these entries will have a harder time passing.

If this news post that Tom made in 2003 is still in effect (and since it's a good idea, it probably should be), then it might be beneficial to extend that policy to people who vote 5 on everything for the protect points, as well as people who vote 0 for the blams.

So he probably just doesn't blam movies regardless of there material

About time.

This shit got old in 2006. Stuff like Cursor*10 would never have gotten noticed had it not gotten underdog of the week.

By the way, I've seen a couple of times a perfectly legit entry get mass voted up by other crews that have no affialiation to the group, and just want to get the movie deleted. What do you do about those?

Wade did say it's bad enough to have alts, after all.

There's no reason to have them anymore, now that we can't change our user names.

He said it was bad, not prohibited. Some people are taking this like if you have an alt you get all of your accounts deleted and such.

I never said normal users didn't vote. But making people sit through two minute long intros and then nothing doesn't generally make most users happy. There have been some good reviews, but that's because some people find it funny that they have suspense, and then be told to upgrade their flash player. If I needed to upgrade my flash player then the original intro probably wouldn't have played. That's what pissed me off.

So you'd rather have spam flashes that are Epilepsy Warnings than not having to worry about a crappy flash? Besides, I'm not saying blam all kitty krew flashes at all, just the ones that have those loud noises and flash random colors every second. I was up late and no lights on when one of the flashes completely blinded my eyes for about ten seconds. I'd like to keep my hearing until I'm well over 16. >.>

Some were in a group called the Socom Squad, and some were alts of a Kitty Krew member which he used to submit non-KK spam. But I don't think all of them, or even most, were involved with crews. Most were probably just some dude trying to get awards by mass-reviewing 10 for a free Review Crew Pick.

and only reason i keep bumpin this is in the false hope that wade might actually read my post on page 12 and save the portal from being permanently flawed

ugh i mean it cant be THAT hard to reinstate time limit voting, i dont understand why the admins have been ignoring it. bringing it back would help all legit artists, and the only people it would hurt are the stat whores and shitty crews that depend on stat whores.
