I won't get too many points this Clock Day I don't think, I mean I might get some but I'll just start getting into something and loads of stuff will pass while I'm watching or playing, it's happend both years I've been here, lol.

I wonder if it'll be a huge mess of blue like last year, lol :x

I'm looking forward to my first Clock Day, even if I'll miss a lot of the American submissions (damn time zones).

One thing is certain though, by the end of it, my B/P ratio will be seriously messed up.

Yes it will, mine messed up last year and just got worse and worse as more stuff passed than was blammed, the portal is only really just starting to even out again with that I think, Clock Day might mess that up and we get the same thing happening all over again.

I should start on a Clock Day flash, I have my idea but I'm too lazy to make anything now, lol.

Most people have more saves than blams these days, except for some of the older users who were heavy into B/Ping back before '06-'07. When the redesign was launched, I had a few thousand more blams than saves, but not anymore.

I want more blams.

Enter left stage, Phantom :D.

But yeah, things worked differently back then. we had more fun than now, but life is mean that way.

Totally. Remember the days when submissions would be judged much more harshly, and blammed if they were even slightly below par quality? Getting that awesome blam animation much more often, too... I miss that.

Perhaps one day it'll turn around again and we'll be back to how it was in the good old days.

That happened last year to me i got like 1,200 saves that day and 40 something blams. even thought i was on almost all day drinking some energy drink to keep be up, it was well worth my time. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do.

Fuck, I have work on Clock Day. >:[

Kinda sucks but I will be here until 3pm or so, so I hope the majority of submissions happen before then. :)

What about all the spam, think that 'Portal Watch' group will be able to keep up with it, or did that die out?

I did that for a while, but TBH I don't really see much that needs reporting anymore anyway. Most of the shit like that gets flagged pretty quickly, so there's not a whole lot of point.

I dunno if some of the other guys who did it are still regularly sending links to Wade over AIM, but I only send him one on the odd occasion now. He's usually pretty busy as well, so it can take a while for him to actually have the time to check the links you've sent.

It was pretty good whilst I still did it though.

True enough, I haven't heard much about it recently, I only see it being an advert on Ramagi's page still, but that's it honestly.

True enough, that and the system we have with user voting works pretty well.. I'm not even going to lie, I've gotten a kick out of some spam submissions before, so it's all a matter of what it is, who's viewing it, and whether its blatant spam or not.

Eh, I never did it honestly, couldn't really be bothered at the time it started, and it didn't help that many submissions had my alias tagged onto them as well. :/

Sometimes. Used to work better, like I was discussing with Phantom earlier in this thread. I think a few years back users (for the most part) were much more interested in quality rather than points, which is why we used to get so many more blams than we do now.

The whistle whores generally take care of the rule-breakers, though. It's only the odd one that slips through judgment that has to be reported.

Oh man, we all have. Some spam submissions do give me a cheap laugh, so I'll give them a 2 or 3 (depending on how good the laugh was). Like you say, it's all down to personal preference when voting which is what the EGB is all about anyway.

Eh, I never did it honestly, couldn't really be bothered at the time it started, and it didn't help that many submissions had my alias tagged onto them as well. :/

The best part about it was just being able to report rule-breaking submissions MUCH more efficiently, and being informed that the submission had actually been deleted, rather than having to wait for a year for Wade to check his PM inbox and look at the submission.

I cant wait for Clockday you got the king of the portal SBC. Silly rant but its so exciting its a shame you lost interest ,in Newgrounds Sir-Nuts. Still maybe if you take a break you, might find that a good thing. I hope i get alot of b/p. Corkey52 i have just reviewed your submisson Beneath The Sheets.

I'm usally on all day on those occations, it does slow up after 8 or 9. Then around 4 it starts back up again. I might just find some kid off the street to vote for me and pay him min wage.

True enough, its sad to think that so much spam does get through, and most of it is because users know that something will pass and vote on it accordingly just for points.

However, if those same people voted on a submission as it should be voted on, then there would be a better chance at getting spam removed... though most won't. :/

I still refuse to vote on something just for points though, I will vote as I see fit and no other way but. :)

You're right. Things change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. And although it may seem worse because of nostalgia, it could actually be better.

I would pay a good price if someone would do that for me. If you ever get around to to that application of yours could you e-mail it to me. Nothing ever gets blammed on clock day so no bother trying.

Yeah, before the time of mass organized spam ut was easier to blam things and know they will get what they should have gotten. but sadly not anymore, greed has taken over.

The whistle whores generally take care of the rule-breakers, though. It's only the odd one that slips through judgment that has to be reported.

yes, but spam by popular asshole authors still gets through, and I don't care if they rant at me or not. I think Slash should have gotten rid of his name in some of the infiltration missions he went on long ago as well.

I'm not even going to lie, I've gotten a kick out of some spam submissions before, so it's all a matter of what it is, who's viewing it, and whether its blatant spam or not.

Case in point: THIS is something I feel is complete shit and is unworthy to be around, OBJECTIVELY. I hate this sort of submissions, I personally out of principle keep it down every day so it doesn't become like his other faggy submissions with a nearly 3.0 score...

That's my point, but I would have to make it so it would be unusable after Clock Day, just so people couldn't have it running all the time and shit.

I'll think about it though and see what I can do, I have a basic concept for it, it will work like the Portal Guard, but rather vote on the submissions as they come about... not even a week to make it though, better see what I can do asap, after work tomorrow though, time for me to get some rest now. :)

I have to agree with you. GOTHCLAWZ is quite the agitation. He used to be a part of the madness combat crew( which I am part) now all he does is comes back in to troll and cause flame wars. users like that should not be allowed to touch a computer, especially if all they are going to do is abuse that technology.

Exactly why I hope Wade or some other badass admin will find the time out of his busy schedule, take some time to lurk the site they own, learn what really is spam, and what isn't, and like a plague of God, get rid of all those submissions and and users. Chrome was deleted, SevenStar was, but think of the extreme boundries they touched to anger admins that much. I think some spam collections, like Afro_Stud's pokemon spam, should be disposed of, with complete disregard to his high level in B/P and Exp. Spam is Spam. Sevenstar was an EGSC and he got canned, why not him? Don't ask me...

I think that this issue is more an exercise of why we need a dedicated team of portal mods, who can destroy any flash that breaks a set of rules which are clearly devised. No whistle points for flagging spam submissions, just vote 0 and get yourself one whole Blam point.

I'm not in favour of deleting Afro_Stud's series, as while it is spam, at least he changed something about it for each one, unlike things like Sunshine, for example, who only altered the colour scheme. It's a fine line, I'm afraid - What would deleting Afro_Stud accomplish, anyway? He hardly graces the site any more, not after he threw his rattle out of the pram over the moderation of the Wi/Ht forum.

That would be nice, but it would take a group of moderators who can work in nearly all hours of the day, possibly in shifts.

Personally I'm afraid that other spammer wannabe's will take point from his submissions, make something mildly humorous, and shove it down our throats for 300 other submissions. I saw a lot of his submissions as it passed judgment and I wouldn't like other users to think that a bizarre idea and 3 minutes in a Flash document can get them 2 more entries every day. You can easily note many other "series' " of spam today, and that is most upsetting.

I just think it's more of a crime to keep him out there, than to vanish him.

That pretty much happened when Afro_Stud was still making his 'Adolf Hilter' series -- a bunch of newbie spammers (namely people like yoshi77777) realised that anything with a similar title to the Adolf Hitler series would pretty much guarantee passing through the portal. There ended up being about 5 or 6 different spinoff series, after which I think the staff intervened and issued a warning to people who make those kinds of submissions.

I think that warning was really more of a scare tactic to stop the endless stream of spinoffs from that single series, and it worked, as we don't get any of those submissions anymore. Like you said, though, there's still other kinds of shit out there.

Yeah, I think the warning is something along the lines of 'Don't submit any more Adolf Hitler Pokemon flash or we'll delete your entire collection of accounts. Other users weren't as fortunate, losing lots of flash and the occasional account

We'll see if the steps taken by the Admins has made any difference on Friday, as I feel it's the best benchmark to see if things happen. If I can get a single Blam point, it's not changed. Multiple Blams and I'm satisfied it's working, while anything more than say 10 and I'll be over the frickin moon!

That's the amount this account is officially worth. What with the high level of B/P and Exp. The posts, the whistle, and the high position of several Newgrounds clubs. For this account, you'll have to pay.

Thank You for your time

i said thank you for your time. meaning good bye. im not buying a account. thats just stupid. an account isnt worth anyhting. not a penny. i wouldnt waste money on a account. i mean the site isnt that big on the internet. so yea not worth anything.

I don't care, this site makes a fortune. And, I hope you didn't actually expect a veteran user to just hand his account over to you, did you?

People work for years on these accounts and you just expect them to give it to you? How fucking moronic. You my good sir, need a brain.

Thank you for your time, AND GOODBYE IDIOT.

P.S: If you don't want to sell, I'll just fuck the girl in your profile, and we're even.
no i didnt think any one would hand it over. i was just asking for fun.
i could care less what you think of me and the lack of brain i have,
and you couldnt handle my girl so you would just get pissed and keep your account b/c you would bust a nut in a second little man.

To which I replied, after each such claim:

Failure.

lack of brain i have,

Of course you couldn't think, you don't have a brain :D

and you couldnt handle my girl

It's alright, I like wild women, and I'm sure she'd prefer someone who can write a message with some degree of grammar over a guy with a brain equivalent to that of a jellyfish.

So...I'm in a funny PM flame war over nothing, want to be updated some more?
