Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Should probably make my alts less conspicuous like Wade's Huge Penis or Fulp's Bicycle of Buttsex.

Damn...

Stealing Flash awards is about the lowest thing you can do on Newgrounds

Probably not...

Using alts on Newgrounds is a bad idea, especially if they are used maliciously, like avoiding bans (any kind of ban, review ban, forum ban, audio ban, portal ban), avoiding post limits, etc.

Avoiding post limits is abuse now? If somebody is running a collab in the Flash forum, they use their four posts per half hour in the thread quickly, and they need to get in to answer a question or something, they can't?

This is your final warning. So I don't want to hear any complaining if we need to take action against abusive users. Anyone who makes a stink or complains about users being deleted will also be terminated. There is no excuse for this type of abuse on Newgrounds, and there is no excuse for trying to complain about us taking action against it.

Because cover-ups are such a good idea.

Yeah, I think it's worrying too. But nevertheless, I think it is about time alts got cleaned up. I don't think anyone actually succeeded in alt'ing a movie to a prize, but if they did, it would simply be sad. Shame Newgrounds is full of arrogant pricks whose only vocabulary is "pwned" and "phail".

No, actually it isn't. This is the kind of shit that's killing the portal. If they drive away the spammers, who will be left except a few cocksuckers and a few idiots making whatever the noobs want to see?

At this point, the only thing I would miss about my account if it got deleted would be the postcount. I can re-upload all of the flashes, and I can get accounts with earlier signups.

"Steal" awards? How can anyone "steal" something when it's being stolen from them? A spam-group Underdog will be better and more entertaining than a "honest" Underdog. I can guarantee that.

You should just delete the main accounts and say nothing.

Which would fuck the site up even more.

You can't, except if you run a Tor check. And if a Newgrounds user runs a Tor server (like I used to), that user is basically fucked.

IP ban. Dynamic IPs and Tor make that basically worthless. K0RKZ got IP banned, but he's still around.

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

And Newgrounds is becoming so commercialized that doing basically anything other than being a total noob is grounds for deletion.

Then they're fucked. Do you really think the admins give a shit? I doubt it. All they care about is the money in their pockets. I won't do anything to support Newgrounds because I don't support the commercialized shitfest it's turning into.

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.

Yeah... I can't be bothered to make a real movie when it will just pass with like a 2.95 and be completely fucking unrecognized when I could submit six shit movies a day and become a fucking legend.

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.

And mass exposure to the flash for a week.

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.

Damn skippy. At least the reviews; if something in the flash doesn't work, how are people supposed to know until it's too late?

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

Which just means he was a very effective troll.

Hahaha, no. I can still mass vote, mass review, mass submit, and do all of that fun shit if I felt like it.

Actually, the Kitty Krew doesn't mass anything. I know; l I'm in the KK. The only flash I know of that was massed through was rainigul's Liru Hentai Game Preview, which passed with a 1.64 after being Tor massed by a few different people through its entire judgement period.

Just some thoughts.

this will work well

I'm actually glad that such abuses will be treated with less compassion to their executers.
After all, we all know how blatantly the "Underdog" award was always abused.

obvious troll is obvious. seriously LordZeebmork, calm down cause you're just whining and bitching that a bunch of accounts are being deleted to enforce the rules. the admins and mods aren't asshats they've just been a bit lax on this issue until now.

guess you're whining at losing a few alts right about now

Just make sure you don't think I am using an alt because someone else in my college is voting and stealing some of my blam points.

I have 3 alts, but I don't use them malicously. One was given to me by my friend.

I normally use them for the BBS if I've been embarassed or flamed too much or similar.

Awesome, save alot of trouble with the reviews.

Good to see justice for the good flash artists. Too many times have I've seen a deserving flash win the RCP only to see a 3 second spam flash who got a mass amount of reviews hours before the awards are given to take it away selfishly.

Total Agrrement with Wade Fulp.

Do you mean to make it impossible to create a second account on a single computer? This would be a hard thing to do as they could create it on someone elses and make them unable to create one.

If they make all accounts that have done nothing to them etc. be deleated like all those who have the "still accomplished nothing" messege and advert thing, that have been like that for a mounth etc. then they are more likely alts and could be deleated as they have done nothing for NG, though this could be seen as taking a step to far.
