20k Blams! Get in!

291,000 Total

Nice. I just reached 141,000 Total Points myself.

Hmm! Could you maybe be blacklisted? Doesn't mean you in particular did anything wrong, could just be your IP range. Info: https://byteslinger.newgrounds.com/news/post/1131936

Just reach out to byteslinger and she'll clear it.

Congrats Little-Rena! Monumental.

Just reached a new tier myself last week, to think not too long ago this was the kind of stuff that took years...

Massive! Congrats!

Eyy Congrats!

Congrats MatthewMcChan!

Not too far. :) Just 6-7 years away, maybe less if we get a lot of double EXP occasions!

Congrats DSB!

Congrats Zom!

Congrats Adidi!

A worthy cause. :D Congrats, good luck; shouldn't be all too difficult!

Nice man. :D Just about halfway. Sort of. Almost.

More points than predicted lately huh?

i can access the site now thanks, i didnt even need to message anyone

Ah nice. Might've been something else then if you didn't even need to send your IP.

I literally have no idea how any of this works.

I know my level goes up with experience points gained by voting. How's the other stuff work?

Vote on content on the portal for ranks, and blam/save ratios. If you vote less than 2 stars and it fails: you get blam points. If you vote 2 stars or higher and it passes: you get save points.

If you see misrated, stolen, abusive content, you can flag them and get whistle points, that can get you from Bronze - Deity, but be careful not to flag just anything, for if you do it will count against you, which could get you garbage whistle.

I WANT A GARBAGE WHISTLE RIGHT NOW

At this point I am resigned to the fact that I'll just never get a gold whistle. I don't know what to flag most of the time.

I recommend looking in the art portal for content that's misrated.

That's a good majority of my points for reaching Deity.

I've heard that one before, but I'm not certain of the criteria for each rating.

If you want you can flag obvious misrated art. Example: Nude drawings of a character that has the rating of "E" or "T"

It can be tricky to flag art that can be rated "T" or "E" but art that's rated "M" or "A" always have some degree of nudity or mild violence.

Say what, Pop-Tart the OG, potentially unawares of this here central ranking aspect of this site?! :O Though made for a really conducive and easily understandable intro @ZomAlien. Nicely done.

Medal point increases are a thing to commemorate too, though I suppose you know of those? And reviews? And posts? I see you're on NG Logs so I suppose you also know of those: https://www.wkrconcepts.com/nglogs/index.php?id=lists

The Wiki has some fundamental info on judgement too: https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/user-accounts/blams-and-saves

It is a long step from Gold to Deity too. Remember it felt like it took ages to get that final jump way back when.

Apart from the very sensible content flagging suggestion there's also the review thing. if ever you see reviews with just a single slur or swear word and zero stars those are definitely abusive. If you stumble upon one of those you can check the rest of that user's reviews; occasionally that's all they've been posting. Those used to be the real treasure trove of flags back in the day...

Maaybee I had a bit more of an understanding than I let on. But you guys certainly added a lot more details. So I thank you.

I guess I just don't think about it much. I try to vote on about ten under-judgement submissions a day to keep the Portal moving. And I vote how I feel. I suppose I could be smarter.

For instance - - when I see a 15-second 'rated A' submission that someone threw together in SFM, I may vote one star because that's what it earned. Well, those rarely get blammed because there are too many people that favor those types of submissions... so it would help my save points if I gave it a two.

You probably knew it all hmm. Classic clockery!

Yeaah in regard to A-rated submissions I do find myself voting more in accordance to how I know they'll fare then how I really feel about them... not too high though, a 2-3's enough to save. You can always change your score at a later time if you wish to too...

Unfortunately a lot of submissions I do like seem to not make it just cause they're a bit unpolished otherwise. People don't seem to value originality or creativity as much as aesthetic appeal - especially when said work's submitted by some lesser known user. There was this little Madness series recently with characters made up more of circles with thick outlines that I really tried to get through, almost looked like a new Poninjas, but alas, too many B/P hunters, and too many Madness test animations by new users that aren't worth saving have probably skewed voting habits there too.

I think overall users are getting a bit more blam happy though; it's finally starting to balance out years of a bit too favorable voting just to get Save points. You need to actually consider your votes to get points now. the vote-high-on-everything tactic no longer equates better gains.

Sounds like voting the way you vote's the right way to vote though! No need to participate just for these competitive points. Pretty activity rewarding though they are.

#36 in EXP

Hey @gfoxcook, how about this one? 😁

Congrats Murray!! Slowly making your way to the real top spots here...

Congrats!

what do you 6 years from level 34 to 35? it only takes about a couple months

i think you mean 6 years to level 60

Finally a month catch up for @Cyberdevil. 😃

Ah, well different matter there but you'd think all the wrestling politics be all acting. 😂

What, you mean like Game of Thrones? 😜

The whole thing is a fickle. By this point a great portion of the older age and at risk groups have been offered their first jabs and most have taken it up. Last I checked they were open to anyone as young as 38 to come forward for their jabs so I'm not so far off by this point. However, I'd much rather it was the Pfizer I'm given as the AstraZeneca can do one after all its issues.

Ahh makes a lot of sense that. I do like to have that digital detox but couldn't do it for that long. Apart from some quick check ups, I can very well have some time outs in the best opportunities.

Idk what happened with Boris' pub trip and quite frankly I shouldn't even care. I've had a lot of great beer garden sessions but sadly in the last two weeks the weather has taken for the worse. To be fair, the weather was somehow convenient with outdoor drinking to begin with in this period. Thought typical British weather would have fucked up all five weeks entirely.

That said, we'll be allowed to drink inside from Monday but concerns about the Indian variant have cropped up. Disruptions to June's reopenings won't be a surprise but everything else that has reopened there's no backsies from the plans. Just have to wait and see.

Cheers for that. Looking forward to working towards 64k within... 15-30 days. The double EXP months keep on coming to speed things up. 👍

Many thanks! Slowly is definitely right for the time being as I don't expect any more rank ups for a good while. Still, I'm happy enough with #36 here.

Hello shiny new Ban Hammer and level 57

165,000 B/P

Well if you give the submission a '1' it still saves the submission now after the 2018 voting system, it still gives a very low rating, not exactly the same when you vote '0' on it.

About the 15-second A rated submissions, I think in my opinion those animators/authors could have a potential to create a decent A rated submission, but those people use those tactics from YouTube with clickbait regarding the thumbnails and the animation. At that point, it is about clicks and views (even though this website is really private compared to YouTube), they know that the people would eat this up and have that submission saved.
