Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Since you're on it Wade- if you want to delete this alt, feel free to do so- I was given it, but now it's just worrying me a lot because there were some issues around the alts- so if you delete these alts which were already made for abusive purposes I'd be very grateful.

or ignore this post if you want to.
I don't know.

Also, in before "OMG WAID POSTED"...

You're right, I'm sorry, it's just that I have had bad experiences in the past what with BigBadRon and all.

oh, snap! =x

...and the hammer fell from the sky and smashed the balls of the spammers, and as the dust settled, peace could finally be seen once again :)

That's not a very Wade thing to do.

Why can't you just isp ban the main? I mean if you delete their main they can recreate it and won't care but isp ban is forever. My two cents anyway.

IP bans in this day and age are useless.
Wade could IP ban me now and i'll be back in 2 mins.
Proxys & Dynamic IP's.

This is a good action, but the spammers will always find a way.

Things aren't like how they used to be. Nobody wants their main account deleted.

Yeah, I admit that alt accounts have been swarming NG quite a lot recently, even I made an alt. account before, but never really used it for anything through.

But it's obvious that some people just won't learn and will continue being idiots on NG

Wow this is pretty sudden, i did not know that alts were such a bad thing, I understand with the ways of trying to get awards. But what if you want to use an alt to submit flash on due to preferring another name etc. ?
Either way, what would happen if an admin accidentally thought that an account was an alt and deleted it, if it belonged to another user that was just similar? This could be bad though I cannot see it happening, though there is always the possibility of confusing them.

Still it is good to see a step being made to prevent this.

well I stopped that shit for now, for the year 2008. Will try to make some real stuff now. I tried that before but when I realized that my spam shit gets by far more reviews, a higher score (for a blank screen I mean what the fuck) and more views I started to do spam stuff. I wouldn't have an idea how you can fix that viewing stuff. People that work hard on their stuff and aren't good don't get noticed, yet, people who doesn't work hard on their stuff do. Kind of unfair.

About the award stealing stuff, I admit that I did it and I don't even really know why. It's just the internet but just because I don't really care it probably doesn't mean that the person I steal it from doesn't care either. If you want to, you can delete the 2 rcp's I won (or one or what it was, I can't remember). I wouldn't really care, it's just a small pixel picture not worth too much.

By the way, a lot of people, actually ALL of the people I know would like to have that under judgment score for the submitter to see back. And the UJ reviews, for the submitter to see, too. I don't know why you removed that both but it surely won't help against mass voting.

ps. thanks for deleting babychipmunk, god dam that guy was annoying.

The big guy has spoken. O.o

Well, I guess that Wade hasn't said much about alts lately (as far as I know), so people take them for granted and make alt accounts, thinking that it's harmless, but really, it isn't. It is good to see something being said by the big guy.

Woah, to be honest, my heart leapt up reading the topic title.
Well I guess now those who actually want their account deleted won't have much trouble doing it now, eh?

You reeaallllyy hate spam flashes, don't you?

Best news yet- im fed up of watching these spamming alts roam around the BBS posting crap

What about co authoring alts in flashes? This is used all the time to make it look like a big collaboration.

Doubt it.

hi muffin

Oh, I saw this coming a mile away.

Good going Wade! Glad to see some administrative action!

Wade,
How will you be able to tell if accounts are indeed alts? Are you just guessing?

These people should really get a life...

You are right. Stealing Awards is evil, and most guys with alt accounts are doing it for wrong reasons. Good for you for removing them.

I agree.

It's really sad that you have to deal with this shit at all imo.

You guys should figure out a way to make the portal spam proof. I bet you've tried that already tho...

Is it ok if we still review 10? because we still have a enough members to get underdog and turd. Even without alts.

Good idea. Hopefully this will crack down on spammers and troll alts.
