And knowing is only half the battle.

I keep voting zero on there piece's of shit and they still pass anyways. It's either:
#1: Many EGSC's are voting 5 on them.
#2: Mass voting, group wise.

I've seen a couple get blammed; very very few. And I think it only had a KK pre-loader, but not KK in the title.

I need to become stronger then what I already am. >:(

You've got a what, 8.5 VP or more? That's really good. It's hard to get it much higher, since you can only go for the level increases, not the b/p increases.

Trust me, even with a higher VP, you won't stop much from passing.

Or a lot of inexperienced or stat whoring users are following the trend and voting 2-5 for the points, though I know there are high level users giving them 5's, and obviously mass voting is increasingly common.

I've seen lots of good ideas both here and in the EGB forums though, good to know there are so many people trying to change things.

Also didn't realise you were a mod :S (review mod?), when did that happen? Congrats! I need to hang around here more...

More like 11, that's what mine is now with the B/P bonus. Still, after going up so fast for the last year or two it is a bit hard to take such a slow increase now :(

Trust me, even with a higher VP, you won't stop much from passing.

We just need few changes in attitude around the portal and perhaps a few changes in the rules/way things work. Nothing that can't be solved.

Eh i haven't been on that much. All the spam's got me alittle tired but i will be here madness day. Sadly as we all know inside a lot of spammers will turn it to shit. But lets hope there's at least a couple really good ones. I wouldn't doubt there's gonna be a lot of "new madness flashes" coming out.

Yeah, they saw the fruits of Clock Day early on, and now they're looking for the entire tree/bush. A lot of poorly draw shit will be poorly tweened into something that will get a 3.75.

It's going to be impossible to find in the mountain of shit. And when you do find it, you can't watch all of it if you want to keep up with the ton of flashes pouring in.

Yep that's gonna be a pretty bad day. Lets hope that Wade or Tom prevents it by laying rules down.
I highly doubt it but eh we can all hope. I'm gonna attempt to rate everything fairly but i might be alittle nicer to people on that day. Athough not on spam.

That's very true i hope i get to vote fairly on most of the flashes. I just hope lots of people at least try to make it better. I can't wait for the day i love the random violence.

History and Driver's Ed. They're pretty easy, just time consuming. I have to pick out a "dream car" for Driver's Ed, and research this guy for history and make a 1 page report for him.

Bah, I got to work on the poster; I can do the report during lunch. I'm half done right now, anyway.

If you haven't noticed, Tom and Wade seem to turn a blind eye towards spam. They didn't say anything during or after Clock Day, except for "And here are the top flashes picked by the Clock Crew", or something like that. They seem to welcome spam, and like it on here.

to them, it's numbers they can show potential advertisers.

So do I; the hoping for people to make it better part and hoping to fairly. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Madness; I enjoy it, but I'm not a fan.

Hi all.

Just a quick question, hope some of you know the answer.

Why haven't the NG crew fixed up all of those dead links yet?

Its starting to annoy me a little. Its been a while since the redesign, you would think they would have SOME spare time to link them up again.

Thoughts?

Well, I know they were really busy with the whole PAX thing. Other than that I know they've been doing a lot of background stuff and otherminor things.

But, yeah. I do wish they'd get this straightened out soon. I like being able to see my review replies and such things.

Also, I've found out what a complete idiot DoD is. If anyone would be so kind as to forward me the proof they found of who he actually wasn't, that'd be great, thanks. I think he needs to be called out again as he's trying to say he goes to Duke... and speaks another language... again....

OH! And I've also replied to the thread in our private forum about the whole new Rules/Spam thing. I think I make some good points and I'd like feedback, so...... go check it out. =)

Hello there, Watchman! To join the Elite Guard Barracks, you must be of Private rank or higher (2500+ B/P).

However, once you reach Security Guard, which shouldn't take you too long if you have a decent pace, you can apply at the NGPD...until then, keep on B/P'ing and helping Newgrounds by voting fairly and unbiasedly on every flash you see in the Portal.

I have no idea, I thought they'd have some time to work but instead Tom chooses to watch the MTV awards and make games rather than fix dead links or setting up the ranks list again, thankfully it's all visible on the NG log if you do need to know something.

Also, I'm down to 24th in B/P :(

I think it's on their list of things to do, but they have been busy trying to work out all of the other glitches as well (Like being able to view reviews for one)

They will, but we're in a situation where we just carry on as normal until then.

You're referring to the baseball thing, right? Answers coming to you and other MLB thread regulars via the art of the PM this afternoon :)

Hey, you'll never believe it, but I just got done a little B/P in the portal and...

THERE WAS NO SPAM!!!

Hallelujah! Rejoice! God save the king! Or queen! This si a day that will live in infamy! There's a blue light special on isle 5! Drop it like it's hot! No thank you, my penguin's been neutered!

That is all.

Look Jennie, you have like under 20 B/P points, I don't remember the exact amount because...I don't care about it. Now be off now before one of us shows you the way back to the hole you crawled out of just to show your miserable, idiotic, unpopular, unsuccessful and uneducated face.

Why are you still reading? shouldn't be all pissy and upset with me now and never to return here? Really...Shoo!

ROFL that felt so good.

Well, I just made a front page News Alert talking about the portal and voting fairly.

I pimped out our club as well as the NGPD and NGDoD.

I figure using our News Alerts if we got 'em is a good way to help spread the word of voting fairly. Maybe it'll help, who knows...

At 9/21/07 11:56 AM, RSQViper wrote: THERE WAS NO SPAM!!!

Yeah, sometimes that happens. The "authors" like to make new ones, and come up with ideas for new "series", so they have to take an hour off of submitting.

Like right now, how I've only watched 4 flashes, but have seen 2 spam flashes already.

Well, there's plenty of SPAM in the portal right now. Wow...yuck.

But aside from the SPAM there's also legitimate crap in which I WILL get Blam poiints for. hehe.

And some decent Madness stuff starting to trickle out no.

Anyone NOT seen Madness Manufactory? If you ask me it's better than ANY Madness Krinkles has ever put out.

It's simply awesome.

Tom loves Justin too much to miss an event like that.

I know, they should just have one of the admin to work on those sections. It cant possibly take that long to redo can it?

thankfully it's all visible on the NG log if you do need to know something.

All hail Casualty.

Also, I'm down to 24th in B/P :(

Thats a shame. Still pretty cool to even have rank that high.

Well thats what I meant as part of the dead links. The review thing would frustrate me heaps if I actually reviewed anything these days. As for the rankings list, I really miss that. I guess there is the top 300 b/p list though.

They will, but we're in a situation where we just carry on as normal until then.

Yep, its funny how NG users actually temporarily fix the problem. Nglog, and all the top 100 etc. lists make the need for these lists non existant.

Yep, I guess they figured they would just get a free 5. I'm glad to up my blam points, though; I've been getting no more than 10 a week, if I'm lucky.

And some decent Madness stuff starting to trickle out no.

It's been a lot of good stuff, and barely any bad. Well, no more bad stuff than any other day.

Yah it's awesomre but Krinkels is still my favorite flash animator !

Oh btw...

Indeed. One of the better flashes of the bunch.

Also, Madness Day is going well so far. And as of now, it looks like flashes are actually getting a fair vote. Medium to high quality flashes have gotten good scores, and most of the low quality flashes I've seen have actually been blammed. A few spam ones have passed, but at least it's not as bad as Clock Day was.

Also, anyone else think the banner is hella cool?

No, it's definitely better. Krinkles has disappointed me with some of his stuff. His last one was basically 'meh.'

Yes, I've been thankful of this. I haven;t gotten a whole lot of B/P done today because I'v been in and out of the house, though. =(

Yeah, it's very cool. I like the little guys on the side now, too. Pretty cool that they can do that with the new layout.

Yes thankfully madness day's been pretty great. Easily a 100 times better than clock day and there's been a lot of pretty good flashes. The quality of most the the flashes is a 100 times better too. I hope things don't turn bad though. I've also as stated by others seen flashes better than krinkels. Today's been pretty good and not too many flashes coming in so you can watch all of them or at least i can beause i have cable. Madness day seems to be a lot better than clock day i can't wait fo next years.
