Some users and groups have been stealing Portal awards from some time now. I will have my Portal Watch team keep me informed when they spot this type of activity. Users found participating in such activity will have their accounts locked down or termianted. This has already begun as we have warned users about this in the past. Users found to be cheating our system (even if they didn't submit the entry involved, but are participating in the abuse) will be dealt with. Alts will be tracked down to main accounts, main accounts will be locked down or termianted. This is your final notice.

i wasn't aware there was such a problem. guess all that time away from browsing the portal is starting to show.

If you think Cyanide and Happiness is a better webcomic than Ctrl-Alt-Del, you're a mindless bandwagon faggot who doesn't appreciate the importance of plot development.

But if, let's say, a spam movie wins Turd without the help of a crew, won't it look the same as a cheat, and you'd be banning innocence?

When a group submits a flash and they cheat. They get hundreds of alt accounts reviewing the flash with a 10 rating, it over powers the rest of the reasonable reviewers. Having a high review score, they can earn Review Crew Pick or UnderDog.

Sometimes, groups can vote five so so much they it may even get a daily award (either from places 1 thru 5) but that rarely happens. The review awards are most likely to happen.

Its not exactly stealing, but unfair cheating.

I think stealing awards is along the lines of having a group of people vote 5 on a flash that didn't deserve it.

Wait, was it because of Co-author reviewing, the mass voting, the stolen flash, or the JB that originally got you deleted?

I know I haven't been accepted to the Portal Watch, but... Here's my list of constant award thieves:
LordZeebmork (both under his main account and under multiple different alts, notably Jewgrounds)
arushi/50vmp (multiple illegitimate mass-reviewed Underdogs)
uncounted Clock Crew members (multiple Clocks have been known to mass-vote and mass-review to steal RCP and Underdog)
Anyone else know about others involved in this? My list is rather short...
