i think the blam/save point system was a bigg mistake...it was all good like it was before the system went up, now everyone is afraid to vote now.........i say if i was wade or tom(i wish), i take out the blam/save point system and put it back what it was.......you have to admit, ever since the blam/save point system went up....everything went out of hand.......now im afraid if i see a movie that really sucks i cant put a 0.....thus if i do i will be bannned right??? so i will say this again......just put it back the way it was...

Good point, people who are just out to get expierience, without paying attention to the flash/Are pent up with rage/Think that there flash will do better if everyone elses does worse are all GAY.
On a similair note, proper Flash users generally tend to give fair scores and justified, constructive reviews. Those that don't use flash seem to be harsh and insulting. I can only presume this is because they can't respect the hard work and time that goes into producing flash.

Ya know what I was just thinkin?...
I think that blam and pro points are kinda silly to begin with... or maybe I should say childish... because thats what makes people miss the point of whats intended... Simplify is prolly the bestest answer.

How do we keep orselves fom being overrun with crap then?

Response to Voting 0 2003-01-11 16:52:12


ok, nobody ever said you couldnt vote zero. but the point is so you vote fairly. voting zero is only for stolen movies, or movies with something thrown together for the sake of submitting for the hell of it.

the problem is, the zeros are being used too loosely. for example:

someone might make a well done movie saying drugs are bad. so someone comes along and watches it and thinks "man this is wrong, i smoke weed all the time and it isnt like this" so they vote a zero.

one thing that is missing alot of times is constructive criticism, and thats a large portion of the problem.

Response to Voting 0 2003-01-11 16:57:59


Could we just stop this? I mean ok I can see how people would get mad that wade and tom did this. I can see and understand why you all would react teh way you would but does it have to keep on? tehy have heard all of you they understand what you are saying. there is no need to fight over this. if you are not one of the few people who vote 0 on everything then you ahve nothing to worry about. But, if you do happen to vote 0 on something taht you think earned it well that is fine too. In the end I am sure there is one thing we can ALL agree on

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY TIME!

Holy crap! This thread is 11 pages long! Contreversy, contreversy...

Response to Voting 0 2003-01-11 18:00:12


Hey Wade,

I noticed something interesting; you tend to repeat certain things that Tom already reported. Like for example, this voting 0 and the issue relating to someone posing as tom on AIM to look for people's passwords.

Wade, you may be the brother of TOM, but you are not the biggest cheese of the site. Sure, you're a top adm, but TOM RULES! let tom do the reprimands, and you just succumb to his almighty power.

sincerely,
apotheosis

Wouldn't it work out if you have a limit on how many blams a submiter can get. What im saying is that many people send in movies that are pure shit and it's kinda pointless for them to have the option on submiting more movies when all they do is submit the same type of crap. So why not say if you get "X" number of movies blamed you can't submit anymore movies. I'm sure there are a lot of flaws with my idea but its just a thought.

Nice idea but stopping them from submitting movies ever again is extreme maybe stopping them for a week or two, or maybe for extreme cases a month. Otherwise they would go and create more profiles, or have some one else submit stuff for them. It would be a mess.

When I think about it alot now, I belive that is the purpose behind strawberry clock's B. The idea is simple submit a bad flash movie, get it to stay on NG by having your friends vote 5 on it. Then site back, and watch people prove themselfs to be stupid. Quite funny I think.

Response to Voting 0 2003-01-11 18:29:01


Really wade i agree with you.....ppl should really start voting fairly the only time i vote zero is when it`s crap-ola and i vote 5 very reguraly because i enjoy these movies SO VOTE FAIRLY....OR ELSE *evil laugh*

Hello again.

First off I would like to say that liljim is an excellent coder.
now here is my idea.

1) have liljim code NG portal so

Response to Voting 0 2003-01-11 18:44:47


Hi.

First off, I love NG, this place rocks.
second liljim is a great code guy.

here's my suggestion.

Have liljim code NG portal so that you have to press the "view movie/game" button in order to axess the vote buttons.

an alternate would be have the vote buttons pop up after the movie has played (an alternate idea could be have the vote buttons pop up after a couple minutes becuse a movie could have a loop in it.

This should eliminate the impulse blammers into actually watching movies, they might even start to like peoples works.;

Thanks for listining.

Also, make it so that it tells up whether the recent submissions are GAMES or MOVIES.

And put Under Judgement movies/games ONLY in the Recent Submissions list - Not on the main Portal page, but when you click the "See 'em all" link down there!

Yes, I love NG.
I just hate when SOME people treat it like their freaking lives.

i made a movie and i guess it was pretty bad. Because it got blammed. then i looked in the obituarys and saw that someone had reveiwed it and said it was horrible and told me to uninstall flash and never come to NG agian.
I click one his profile and it said that he had

no movies on newgrounds!

so tom.. (or wade) why dont you make a system that only allows peopoe that have submitted movies (where they got blammed or not) to have profiles?

What the hell is your problem?

Knowing Flash does not really make you cool.

Profiles are for everyone and there is nothing wrong with not uploading a single movie whether you have Flash or not!

Response to Voting 0 2003-01-11 20:19:40


you know what, this is just a mockery of democracy. you obvously set up the rating votes so people could express their oppinions of a submission freely. when you start threating punishment because people dont vote the way you want them to then you sink down to the level of a facist. i know that it is your site, and you do have a right to operate it, but damn, if you ask people to vote, then let them vote. i personaly dont vote on something unless i can give it a good rating, or its a serious piece of work, but when something is crap crap i'd like to know that i could give it a blam without having to worry where my experence points go. and wtf is with logging of the votes? um HELLO! ever heard of an anon vote? i suggest you read the Constition of The United States of America and learn a lesson about running a fair republic. personaly at this moment i'd vote to blam you from sysop just for being a moron

Response to Voting 0 2003-01-11 20:19:51


Nicely put, Boo_destroyer. Just because one knows how to do Flash (albeit, badly) does not make one cool, and just because one has not submitted a movie, does not mean one is not knowledgable of Flash.

If we followed the logic "You have to had made a movie to judge someone else's work" then nobody would be allowed to critique Hollywood movies unless they themseleves had made one too.

Bullshit logic...

Could it be that we've all taken this topic and blown it just a teensy bit out of proportion?

Response to Voting 0 2003-01-11 20:34:45


The reason I think most people vote 0 is because most movies ARE crappy, and ARE going to get blammed. YOu vote 0, there's a better chance of getting a blam point then 1 or 2.

You know, sad as it is to say, this site is becoming very oppressive. I've been visiting here off and on for years now, but became more involved in just the past few months. In that time alone, I've seen a few things happen, for the better or the worse is an opinion.

No viewing new submission scores
No seeing the amount of votes under 100
No seeing reviews for new submissions
No spamming in the BBS
No voting zeros on legit-made submissions

In my eyes, this site is straying from what it used to be; A fun place to go, voice yourself, be silly, see artwork, fight, make clubs, destroying submissions, praising authors, playing games, and so on.

Rules are eliminating some of the fun things that make newgrounds unique. Of course, setting boundaries is almost always necessary, but it IS possible to take it a little to the extreme.

At this rate, the next rule will be "No one can submit movies if your username contains the word 'clock'" or "If you don't like certain movies, you will be warned" or "If you vote zero on a submission, you will be site-banned".

Let it be, the system is good as is.

Response to Voting 0 2003-01-11 20:37:00


I got a better idea then a + and - system, when you vote you select on a drop down bow whether you choose to hurt or heal a movie.When you choose heal, you can choose anything but 0 and when you choose hurt you can choose anything but 5.

Response to Voting 0 2003-01-11 20:37:52


HELL YEAH most movies suck!

I mean, one hundred entries have already been blammed today, even after Tom and Wade's little threats.

Blammers are the second most important people on NG!

First, of course, being the people who submit GOOD movies!

You're a dumbass!
Look, these rules are all about preventing good flash creators from being violated! This is to prevent all those assholes who can't take ten minutes out of their wasted day to acquire ten points! These morons are so lazy they will just vote 0 on every movie they see just to make acquiring points faster! you are basically saying, rules suck. fuck newgrounds because it has rules! rules are made to protect, jackass. this benefits the people seeking good flash, rallying against the idiots dragging along ng.

then again, i suspect you are one of the idiots they are always speaking of.
