Well, I got 829 points yesterday.
...all of them protect points.
This is something that aggravates me greatly. I voted zero on a LOT of flash...B-clones and Fleek alt-spam and the like, and not a single one of the got blammed or flagged. I understand that Clock Day is mass-protect day, and I'd really have no problem with that if the bottom of the barrel, shittiest-of-the-shit still got blammed.
But look at this mess. 1638 flash were submitted yesterday; only 90 were blammed. Most of those were deleted by their own authors, too, so really the number of true blams is even lower.
You know what I'd like to see happen? Tom or Wade delete any flash submitted yesterday under 5k. Because those would be the B clones. And then I'd like to see every single one of Fleek's submissions be deleted, as well as all of his alts deleted along with them. And either Fleek being IP banned or blocked from ever submitting flash again.
There'd still be a lot of crap that would be alive, but it'd be a start.
Before Clock Day, I was aiming for 1000 points in a single day...and honestly, I could have gotten it. Hell, I could have gotten a lot more than that, I bet I could have gotten as high as 1200. But I'm proud to say I didn't.
I was generous early on...I still zero'ed the B-clones and the shittiest of the shit...but I let the lower quality, normally-I'd-give-them-a-one stuff slide. But as the day went on, the abuse got worse and worse, until the day went from being fun to a disaster. By evening I didn't want to be awake for the last stretch, so I gave in to my fatigue and just went to bed.
Bleh. Clock Day. Something needs to be done. If not to limit the most shitty flash, then at least to stop the alt-spamming.

Well, it's not a total loss. We managed to get some important information on alt-spammers. I remind everyone that there's a thread on that in our forums; if you have any information to add, please do so.
While the crap flash may get away with this, certain spammers are now on notice...if all goes well, they won't be around next Clock Day.
