I don't get it... For exemple there is an submission that already has had 1000 votes and has an score of 3.50 and i decide i love it and i give it a 4 can i still recieve a protection point???
And if there is an movie that also hase had 1000 votes but it has an score of 1.80 and i vote can i still recieve a blam point???
Wouldn't it be simpler to just make it physically impossible to vote untill you have clicked on Watch this movie. I realize that they could just close the window then vote but a system to of detecting when "Movie not loaded" disappears. So they may aswell just watch the damn thing. Then vote, It mightnt help much but at least it gets people's movies on voters screens.
I'm kinda confused, but i'm also new. how to you get blam and protection points? how do you move up in rank? is there a way to get more than 10 experience points a day? How do I find out which movies are about to be blammed? please help! I can't quite figure this out. any one who wan't to help me, email me at redskull55@hotmail.com
ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!
TODAY, ALL I DID WAS BLAM CRAP! BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM. THE WORD HAS LOST ALL MEANING. I CAN'T STAND ALL THE CRAP! IT'S GROWING TOO! SOMEONE HELP! WE DON'T HAVE A PRAYER. WAIT. DID YOU JUST HEAR SOMETHING? ........ OH MY GOD IT'S MORE CRAP!
BLAMBLAMBLAM! IT'S NOT WORKING!!!
BLAMBLAMBLAM!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I'm really happy that you guys are trying to crack down on morons who blam everything in sight (and likewise, save movies their friends make that totally suck).
It's nice to see that you guys are doing something about that, but something I'd like to see is some changes to voting in general, including movies/games that are on the portal.
Take Johnny Rocketfingers. Before this week's posting, it was the number one video on the Portal. Now, it's number two. Now, obviously, that's still quite an accomplishment, but I've noticed something: about a week and a half ago, its score was over a 4.5 (at least, that's how I remember it. If you have the actual numbers feel free to correct me). As I'm writing this, JR stands at 4.32.
That doesn't seem like much of a drop in a near-two-week period, but keep in mind that JR has over 13,000 votes. I'll spare you the math, but let's just say it would take a LOT of zeros to lower its score that much.
Now, JR is my favorite video on the Portal, so of course I'd be a little miffed that it's no longer number one, but I don't think it's very fair that people can vote so many times and cause its score to take a nosedive, just so another video can beat it.
Likewise, things like "B" can stay on the Portal despite the fact that it has NO place on Newgrounds. I don't know how to make Flash videos, but I know ANYONE can come up with something more than the letter "B". But because people can vote so many times, it stayed on.
My solution? I can think of two:
1. Limit the number of votes people can cast. Set it so people can vote, at most, X number of times on a video. After that, they're locked out.
2. Erase votes cast after a period of time. You could combine this with the first one, and it would allow a video to truly stand "the test of time". If people truly like it, they would vote again after the period wore off.
I appreciate the fact that NG keeps improving...hopefully we can keep improving it :)

That's not a bad idea, but what about previews/trailers? I can understand why someone would want to submit a small file before completing a big one. Think about it: if you submit a huge file and it gets blammed, you just did all that work for nothing. If you submit a small one and it gets blammed, you can figure out what you did wrong, and correct the mistake then and there, rather than getting it blammed in the end.

Crap comes in all shapes and sizes, unfortunately. But there are lots of good videos that aren't even 1mb (or are close to it). You just have to look for them.

You can remove yourself from the mailing list through your personal profile.
And why stop making changes? Why should NG limit itself? Wouldn't you rather see NG get better and better, all the time? It's not like any changes are mind-boggling. They're just trying to make NG the best that they can, and who can blame them?
So a movie will not be BLAMMED until 50 votes, if the score is low enough. Remember to always view a movie before you vote. This is only fair to those who took time to make something to contribute to Newgrounds.
Well said. I've noiced in people's reviews a tendancy for just rampant criticism. Some very assinine folks out there seem to just go aound blamming anything that doesn't show TnA. Good show, Mr. Fulp
