Why are you moaning when i leveled up i missed out bu 1 point! which is somewhat worse..

Because I estimated a while ago that I would level up today, but the human target efffect ruined my predictions. :'(

Oh right. There's some way of working out the real time it will take, depending on the assumption that humantarget52 deposits every day without fail. I think it adds 1 point every two days for level 9s. Well, at least you get to level up tomorrow. I have to wait an extra day to get an icon that didn't just take 5 days to get. Isn't it annoying when someone posts in here saying they just got level 2?

What's worse is when you deposit before HT and level up, then HT deposits and drops you back a level...

haha! That would be fucking funny. But not if it happened to me :(

i just ranked up to Elite Guard Major General, so now i have my two stars. yey! My VP went from 12.07 to 12.24.

Lucky?, heh, anyway, Ht made me drop back a level when I reached level 12, and it had never happened ever since.

If Ht ever makes me go back and forth for 2 days it won't happen until I hit lv 19 or higher.

heh... well would you look at that, this movie managed to pass judgment, I just saw Denvish's review on it.
They always do pass judgment, people auto-vote 5.
My Britney Spears collection would have passed if it werent flag for un-fair reasons.

But whaddya know? They keep proving their points for me. It's such fun.

Actually that shit probably made it from the SS multi-voting. Everyone I spoke to gave it and fluffy's lastest stairway a zero and both managed to pass. The SS hasn't moved up from nuisance to annoyance for me yet ... fluffy has.

pfff I remember that flash. I voted 0 on it because I thought it didn't deserve a place in the ng portal. I lost a protection pt but it doesn't bother me as much as watching crappy flashes made in less than 1 hour surviving the underjudgement voting. It happens every day and it gets annoying. I wonder what kind of person votes high on those flashes.

oh wait... I know! alt accounts, friends, crews, people that choose the turd of the week before it gets on the portal, etc. Sigh.... lame

The only problem with alt accounts, is that you can only vote once on the same IP Adress. So it would take a hell of alot of friends to get that thing through

Though people call it 'SS Mass Voting', it is the works of several people. The SS just uploads a movie, AIMs a bunch of people and it WILL get auto-protected.
There is no point in losing the blam to it, just vote a 2 (like I do) and get on with it.

damn this is a big ass thread

Vote on it as it deserves ... which is usually zero.

Be a sheep if you like, I'll continue to make my points ON a flash rather than from it when the need arises.

Don't think you're gonna get through to him. Have a look at the rest of his posts... presumably he was dropped on his head at birth.

Yeah I just noticed it. His posts are as short as sks's old posts that were deleted but that guy makes dumber posts than sks. That's just sad.

Dogma is on my side :O Vote what a flash deserves, not what it will get. I admit that your opinion decides what deserves to be on the portal but from I read, you thought it didn't deserve to be here. Following the massive votes that help some crappy flashes to survive just to get protection pts is lame. We have enough crap on the portal, no need to add more.

All monosyllabic one lined spammy responses make Noir a dull boy. :(

I used to vote for points, so the high horse I'm on isn't all that tall. Still, by the time I hit ~5k I was doing what I do now.

If the flash needs a 0, it gets it. If the author needs a smack in the head, everything gets a 0 until I get bored or they wise up.

Well, last post I guess...
Ill just start rambling on about small things, because I have nothing big to post right now.
I was nearing #5 review spot, until cyberdevil became active and reviewed like a bitch.
I have 3081 reviews now, and 318 responses -- 3081/318 (nifty).
Im almost 350 away from rank-up (though thats a long shot still).
I passed both that Dark_Ture guy Ive been chasing for a while, and spancker.
Im in the top 150 of B/Ps.
Tomorrows deposit will probably get me to 7.50 VP.
And I have this cool screenie, cheers!

thanks, but Syme seems to be very difficult to pass. With exams week after week in college and work.. it's tough to find enough free time to really sit around all day and vote. Also, Syme seems to have cranked up her pace.. she'll pass the few ahead of her fairly easily just from viewing the stats.

You are so unoriginal. We both have the same amount of experience.

Well, I predict that you both will have the same amount of XP on Jan 1, 2005. If one of you has a lower amount, then they will get a swift kick in the butt.

Syme has been a machine for a while...she is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

not necessarily... _altr_ and Captain_Bob still have a shot to be the next at 13.00 VP.. i think i'm going to be slowing down a little in b/p points in the next few days just cuz i have a huge Law mid-term exam for college.

Indeed they do, I've noticed his rising pace too. 28,000 you say, I'll remember that and see how close you were. If I'm less than 100 away from that you win EXTRA and we all know extra is better right? (I dunno either)

And while I'm back here ... (position paper type stuff and all that) supporting arguments for my aformentioned voting habits before anyone decides to try and take me to task for them:

Back when Wade originally posted the fact that there was a serious issue with users voting 0 on virtually all entries coming through the Portal, a large series of debates spun up. (granted, the issue has never really gone away, it merely rears its ugly head periodically instead). Most of this was due to people not understanding what he was trying to say. The simple fact has always been that NG wanted to protect the chances of an artist to have his flash listed on the Portal. Once it makes it in, all bets are off.

You can, but we'll know. However, we feel our users should have the right to shape the TOP 50 as they see fit. However, voting 0 on good movies just to get something they like better higher in the TOP 50 list results in all the TOP 50 movies getting lower and lower scores. That is why no movie holds over a 4.00 for long and eventually averages out around a 3.77.

At no time is any mention ever made of constricting the voting of users after a flash has passed judgment. The primary concern has always been to give flash a fair shake at making it when they are first submitted. Once it makes it in, all bets are off.

Furthermore, in Should bad voters be punished?

We're trying to warn people that they are under watch, but not totally accuse them at the same time. :) Kinda like "You're on our radar, be careful, but we will check you out further before we do anything" hehe:

"We are now closely monitoring user votes on NEW submissions. You have been found to be voting 0 on many good entries. Please take time to watch each submission before you vote on it. By voting 0 on these entries you lose your chance to gain a PROTECTION/SAVE point which helps accumulate your TOTAL vote points (BLAM + SAVE) which determines your vote rank and vote bonus. If you continue to vote recklessly and endanger good Flash movies your experience points, and voting points, will be reset. We realize some movies with high scores maybe stolen, malicious, etc and voting 0 on these types of movies is perfectly justifiable. Before we would take any action we would review the submissions being voted down to be sure they are legit and do not break any Portal violations.

Below is a list of movies you were found voting 0/1 on that ended up being protected with a 2.70 or higher:"

Again, the emphasis is upon ensuring that flash entries have a valid chance to make it into the Portal. The focus of attention is upon how users vote while a submission is under judgment. Once they make it in, all bets are off.

Hey D0GMA,

I vote zero on flash in the top 50 that i feel doesn't deserve to be on the list and i dislike. But at the same time i vote up the flash in which i feel deserves to be on the list. Prowlies at the rive... Salad Fingers Episode 2.. are examples of great flash in my eyes.

He doesn't track voting habits of users on movies after they pass judgement. He is just concerned about the UJ movies.
