If we continue voting zero and blowing whistles when appropriate, even after stuff has passed, it will be deleted and the portal will be rid of it. Then what good does their award do? Case in point: our current "turd of the week." I especially love the <deleted> by his name. His "award" surely went bye- bye with his account, no?
It doesn't matter how low a flash's score gets, it won't be deleted because of it. Those authors got deleting for breaking rules and/or pissing off admins with their proxies and alts. What he means is, if a passed flash looks like it might be going for TOTW (clearest sign is an extremely provocative title), you may wish to reconsider voting zero on it, at least until that week's awards are decided, so they don't get more exposure and attention.
