lol, mine or the star syndicates? It seems for some dumb reason I can't reply to a quote with a sentance that short. So yeah this is just here to fill in the gap, speaking of which I got a spiffy new green stripped shirt from the gap for christmas! Yesh. Now to see if I have enough characters to submit my post!

I so wish I had an "edit" button on these boards.

And I meant your flash. The SS's made no sense, but it was at least funny. :D

Response to Portal Abuse. :( 2006-01-04 17:36:08


Ok wade, now I dont know whos side of the story your looking it from. But think of this.

http://www.newground..m/portal/view/286444

Has a 9.21

The current winning movie had a 9.41
All of a sudden
http://www.newground..plate.php3?id=721672

http://www.newground...php3?user_id=721672

He reviews a 6 on 2 movies. Conviently the ONLY 2 MOVIES that have a higher review score then him.
One six was enough to bring one movie lower then him. But not enough to lower it for the current winning movie.

So then seconds later a review from THIS ACCOUNT
http://www.newground..plate.php3?id=704815

Reviews a Two, out of nowhere, in fact people shouldnt even know of the collabs existance, especially not someone from tHE VGCD forum, (which by the way mass 10'd the original movie for its win)

Lets look at this account, that convinietly reviewed a 2 (dropping the current RCP film lower then his)
One favorite flash movie, it was one of luigi_dude12's sprite films.
Hmm. Lets look at his history of reviews..
http://www.newground...php3?user_id=704815

Oh it looks like 95% OF HIS REVIEWS are ALL 10's FOR luigi_dude12's films. All saying simmilar things like "awsome movie dood" exc.

Now Why would 2 people review very low on a film they have never even heard of before, conviently low enough to drop it out of RCP and put their a ahead (The current RCP movie was no the only victim) http://www.newground..m/portal/view/286810

also had RCP stolen from it by the low review.

Oh and he also made an antire new account called Raccoon Luigi (smart one) and reviewed zero. In a last desperate attempt to gain himself RCP.

Now I did my research before I jumped to the conclusion that he reivewed zero in order to gain himself an award. It is blindingly obvious that he infact IS NOT INNOCENT. It is also obvious that the VGDC forums DO MASS VOTE, and MASS REVIEW THEIR CRAPPY SPRITES. Yet I never see complaints for them, as their account names dont end in "lock" or "star"

When I make a film, I post it on the Lockleigon / Clockcrew/ Star Syndicate Forums. The users of the forums are there to vote as THEY WISH. Mass voting and voting 10 just for the sake of it is DISCORUAGED. But people do it anyways. Just like If I show my best friends my movie, they are inclined to support me.

Now I have seen Knox and Illwillpress steal more awards then the SS, CC, LL VGDC and GG combined. Yet they are never bitched at, because they dont all belong to a tight group.

The new rule about Mass voting is fair, I personally hate it. But I also hate overrated shit being voted 5 by fanboys, just for the sake of who the author is.

In conclusion I say.

Wade do some research before you go making accusations. I didnt just randomly review zero because I wanted some shitty Star Syndicate collab to win some shitty award. I reviewed zero because that asshole decided that he could rig the portal to steal himself a review crew.
Thats all.

Response to Portal Abuse. :( 2006-01-04 17:36:09


But in all seriousness, is it a crime if I voted 5/reviewed 10 on this account, and this account only (as I don't believe in using alts to alter a review score) because I was a member in making it? Should I vote a 6/10 because that's what you want me to do? I mean, is it that I can't vote 10 on a movie because I participated in this, or because a friend participated in it and I want to help them out?

Also, last time I checked, plenty of people have their friends vote 5/review 10 on movies all the time, members of groups or not. I recently got an IM from another NG member (who has no affiliation to any group that I know of) who asked me to vote 5 on his movie. Was this a crime that I voted 5 because he was a friend instead of the quality of the movie? If so, many, many people are breaking this rule, and most of the people posting in this thread, agreeing with what you're saying are hypocrites.

Response to Portal Abuse. :( 2006-01-04 17:36:46


So let me get this straight, we are no longer allowed to vote a score we believe the movie deserves? Now we have to vote a score on what you think the movie deserves? Hey budday fuck you, I'll vote however on whatever I want. Despite me being in the Star Syndicate. You can suck a bug if ya think I'm gonna vote on shit the way you want me too, you have enough pre-pubescent kids to do that for you.

A simple solution:

Make a script that deletes every name with "ock", "Star", "Pickles" and "Barney" in it.

WOW BUDDY, I BLATANTLY REMEMBER F00D POSTING SOMETHING WITH YOU ASKING HIM TO VOTE 5, YOU'RE NO HYPOCRITE!

If that was the way the system works, I'd hope they add "AFD" and "LOGO" to the mix to, they seem to be fagging the place up more then the ones that you noted prior to this post.

Exactly

Another fact, The clockcrew, lock legion and star syndicate, are what Makes NGs, NGS. Without them, NGs might as well be Flashplayer or any other shitty ripoff site. To say fuck the "ocks" and stars, is to deny Ngs own Existance. Sure wade, you may not like it, but thankfully there are millions of viewers who disagree.

For sure.

I'm enjoying reading all the 'ocks and SS/BB members getting SO angry at wade right now "You're a racist" and such...so damn funny. I hope Wade makes them all rott in hell, for maybe these people forget...NG IS HOWEVER THEY WANT TO MAKE IT. If they don't want to see another one of my animations, i'm not going to go crying to anyone, because that's what THEY want on THEIR site. No one DESERVES to have their piece on NG.com, and I think these faggot crews are forgetting that. :)

This is bullshit right here. you might asswell track down all those iwillpress fans and prevent them from voting a week afther he submits his crap. or all the honerny 12 year old who vote 5 on every goddamm hentai flash or mario sprite movie. if you really want to change something make it so that only people who acctually made flash can vote and revieuw. and all the other ng bbs users can just sit their and watch their o so precious crap being voted down. seriously wade don't drag us into this just because some lamm ass tried to get crew pick or whatever. and while im ranting on here remove that lame google ad that just looks like crap.

thank you that is all

It's part of the newgrounds culture, it always has been. People, new or experienced users, are always voting like that, look through any thing. And another thing is that 0 votes on popular movies are almost always marked abusive and removed, because that's another part of the culture (and relatively flawed system of flagging).

However, although he is most likely aware that this is happening, he singles out groups that he doesn't like.

It just means that Wade is trying to alter the rules only because of groups that HE doesn't think of as "up to par", not because it will help the system. He probably wont' even deal any punishment to anyone who doesn't have affiliation with these groups, though he will claim that he is so he can get a hundred thousand more cluelessNG users to continue sucking his dick.

Really. It is.

No matter how much you refine the system, some nefarious individual or other is always going to find a way to circumvent it. Right now, everything seems to be running alright, with the odd problem cropping up like once every couple of months, but what do you expect, the portal is never going to be perfect.

Response to Portal Abuse. :( 2006-01-04 18:17:23


Sounds like quite a challenging feat Wade, good luck. I hope you can fix the system sooner than later.


So I'm basically awesome.

Hmmm, no we track down rule abuse as the one stated, we have been doing this for about a half year and are currently a low number of members behind it.

What we would need though Wade Fulp is direct contact with you via any sort of instant messenger program.

At the moment we are sitting on A LOT of information about some groups and their members, alts with proof on several rule abuses, so be portal as on the forum.

Maybe if you hadn't fucked about with the portal massively previously, people wouldn't automatically zero your entry. To be perfectly honest, a large amount of turds/underdogs/RCP's have come from flash groups post Clock Crew/Lock Legion, i.e. SS/GG/other lame gimmick groups. First impressions count for a lot. I don't give a shit whether the SS claim they've have cleaned up their act now. They've messed about with the portal so much they should all have been deleted a long time ago. If you've got a genuinely good entry now that deserves a good score, that's too bad. You ought to have thought about that before you got a bad reputation.

For the record, I've not seen the entry in question, nor do I want to bother doing so. I doubt I'll watch another RCP/underdog/turd, as they've all been fixed by review/vote stuffing for a long time. I can't recall the last one that was won legitimately.

We are getting sick and tired of users pulling crap like this to alter scores so they can win and entries that should win do not.

In the future we will take more serious action.

From this day on any user who has found to purposely swing a score will have their accounts terminated.

Wade's got the whole dick... in his hands!
