The Portal & You

Posted by RSQViper - September 21st, 2007


Ok, Newgrounds, I think we are all just about tired of the shape the portal has been in lately.

Without naming names I'm talking about SPAM. The stuff that has the same intros by the same people and groups with some pointless loop following that intro.

Why is this stuff getting thru the portal? It doesn't belong on Newgrounds, it isn't in any way actually enjoyable, so why are people voting it to pass? For the protection points?

Here's an idea. Start voting how you feel. Vote zero on poor entries regardless of who makes the Flash. If people actually start doing this then these entries will get their proper due and be blammed and you will still get the B/P point.

Fair voting is what the portal was designed for and people are taking advantage of the portal right now for their own entertainment. Uploading to Newgrounds is a privilege and this is a place to showcase your work. Let's showcase the RIGHT stuff.

Let's all start doing the right thing and make the portal and everything after the UJ Flash higher quality. It'll make NG a better place and help Tom in his quest for better advertising and fewer ads in less places. We owe it to him to treat the portal correctly by only allowing the correct quality Flash thru and blamming everything else.

If you are interested in making a difference, but feel alone there are a few groups to take into consideration.

- If you have 2,500 B/P points or more you can apply to the Elite Guard Barracks. There you will find high-ranked B/Pers that share the above sentiment and uphold voting fairly on ALL Flash.

- If you have less B/P points you may already qualify to join the NG Police Headquarters.

- And anyone can join the Newgounds Department of Defense (NGDoD), so go check them out, regardless.

Hopefully an Admin will make some sort of statement and help out with the SPAM in the portal soon, but before they do or even if they don't, there's no reason the NG users can't start doing things right.

So, for a better Newgrounds, Vote and Vote Fair!

The Portal & You

helo

um. hi?

that's nice.
your bytesize was cooler than this psa tho

Yeah. Now go vote fair!

OH HELLO!! IT IS YOU@!!! Have you finished your movie yet?? I only see the trailer, but how is your progress going? I'm seeing all your flash scores, and geez, you seem to be doing a really good job.
Oh i know my message is like that, it's just stupidly annoying so that's why i have it.

Well, my movie's not done yet. It is still coming along. Been so busy with things, but I've been working on it bit by bit.

Thanks for the props on my Flash scores. =)

okay, join anti kitty krew, we do such activities as putting me and my friends in flash and shooting kitty krew members, don't take us lightly we have more than 30 members!!!!!!!! look for goldenmoons page to join!!!!!!!!!

No thanks. Anti-crews are somewhat (very) lame.

I'm with you on this one. I hate the crap that comes through the Portal. There was one movie that got into Newgrounds called "Decline of Video Gaming 3" with no relation to the actual series, it was just a dead loading screen. I was pissed cuz it got in just because it had that name. It wasn't even by the flash bros, there had to have been ppl who said "OMG DECLINE 3 VOTE 5 5 5 5 5!" before watching it. Anyway, I agree 100% with you, man

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Most of the blame falls on the fact the score option comes up so fast. People just vote to pass in the portal to stat whore and don't even watch the movies.
