oh okay, well underjudgement varies.. sometimes a movie that i do not like but i know for sure that it will be protected.. i'll vote the 2. If it is very original with great detail and everything it gets the 5, if it's pure shit then it gets the 0. 0,2, and 5 are really the numbers i only use for underjudgements.

I was doing a, "just in case." The last major commentary I proferred got j00bie up in arms over my supposed discrimination in how I applied my statements. "Just in case," he, or anyone else, decided to give me shit for the fact that I'll fire off zeroes at the people I think need to go out and buy a clue, I'm pointing at a short pier off which they can go take a long walk.

You are well within the parameters defined in Wade's comments. You don't need to defend yourself to me.

Based on the other comments in the threads, they do track it (or at least have access to it), they just don't care. It's kind of like when you're driving along the road. Most of the things you do wrong don't matter ... right up until the cop decides to nail you. Then he'll give you a ticket for everything under the sun for which it's possible to ticket you. They don't care about your voting habits until you do something seriously wrong (like vote 0 on everything coming in the portal) at which point they'll pull out the books on every other thing you've done wrong.

Well, of course they "track" it. They have all the information stored on their database servers, and they can pull up anyone who they want to. So, yes, by your definition of "tracking", they keep all user's votes in databases.

I guess your definition and my definition of "tracking" are somewhat different. I define tracking a person's voting habits as looking at that particular users votes activily. Sure, the admins have all the information at their disposal (and they can track anyone), but actually "tracking" everyone would be quite resource-draining and silly given Wade's prior comments of only caring how people vote on UJ's.

I see what you meant when you said "or at least have access to it". But that is different from activily looking at one's votes.

Then he'll give you a ticket for everything under the sun for which it's possible to ticket you.

Well, that kinda depends on the cop, now doesn't it, eh?

Back to NG:

Heh, I think that just the act of "voting 0" on everything would be enough reason to take action upon the given user. I wouldn't think that they would need to "pull out the books" on everything else that person has done. They'd just Term the account, or reset everything and it would be enough.

Congrats j00bie D0GMA, Yoing and Marcus and Eldarion (looks like your storming ahead with the race buddy :()

Hmm an interesting debate, i tend not to vote on the top 50 unless its extremely neccesary, i try and get all my points from the UJ section for my deposit, meh, thats my opinion.

MrX, i dont think i will try that suggestion for a hangover cure, it sounds quite revolting, i'll stick with another beer :)

Congrats to Snowy Beast, YoinK_Vines, j00bie and ShattyKatty, and anyone else I might have missed.

And to add to the debate, I rarely even vote on top 50 movies that I think are actually good, just because I know my vote won't even matter a lot. I will, however vote high on a flash that should be in the top 50, and on flashes that shouldn't be in the top 50.
And the admins can track accounts that vote improperly? I thought that was just a fairytale. I mean, sure, it's all in their database, but tracking every single user that votes on UJ movies would be craziness.
Oh well, I'm in no danger considering I usually vote fair on UJ movies.

As for voting, if anything you should vote 5 on SS and 0 on the turd that actually deserves it. Probably not, but voting 0 on their dozens of movies should put a dent in the BA, not that it would matter, they would vote them up again... argh, not much we can do. But throwing 0s at bad entries should always be the number one thing you should do, especially if you were like me and didn't hear about it until now as it's already got the turd, so I just gave a 0. Top 50 is fine by me, vote 5 on whatever you want (unless it's something like Lincoln Frog, vote 0 on all really bad flashes).

Lots of stuff

Well anything's better than the number of level 9s we currently have, I mean it, even if there was a choice only for level 9 to change that icon or keep it, that would be better. For people who would suddenly be closer to another level, it would depend on how high they are already. I couldn't imagine all the level 9s who would then be close to level 10 would just decide to deposit, most on the BBS see it as pointless and probably a lot of people who don't visit the BBS would be happy with their 5VP. Although people high up wouldn't want to go down 10 levels just to be back at their favourite icon.

The 10 base VP will probably remain, so any added levels will have no effect on that. Points aren't going to magicially increase, just more levels, which have no effect on points or VP at all. They're dependent on the highest level user's points, look good and nothing more. For example, adding more whistle levels would be good in my view, but ramagi controls the levels and whistle power. It would encourage users to whistle more, but there's not a bonus in whistle points or anything, it just shrinks the gap.

In the file menu, try to select "Work Offline" then type in the adress you want to go to. I think it should work.

Personaly i always vote fairly and give a score which ' I ' think the movie/game deservers and not what i think it will achive. If everyone voted unfairly on what they predicted the score would be then the standard of the portal will never change, hopfully if we all vote as we think deserved then as time goes by as flash quality incrrases the portal and Newgrounds will get better and better, therfore raising the bar for flash artists giving us a better site.

Same here. I only vote on submissions that have passed judgement if:
(a) I really hate the submission,
(b) I really love the submission or,
(c) I need to deposit and there are less than 5 UJ submissions at that time.

MrX, i dont think i will try that suggestion for a hangover cure, it sounds quite revolting, i'll stick with another beer :)

NO! That just makes it worse. I don't know what he suggested, but if you're able to reach the tap when you get home you should drink at least a pint of water before you go to bed. Most hangover symptoms are due to dehydration and not the alcohol itself.

Hmm, didn't think if that. I think that the level 30 user is the only one with a non-changing VP, though. The other's will probably change, but very slowly, like 0.000000001 point per day or something.
