I vote for apocalypse.

ProjektCOG 2011-01-20 12:06:47

Well~ though the usual Newgrounds way of letting the user-base blam and protect submissions works for a majority of reasons, then again, we all know it also has its share of problems.

I reckon that a mass blamming of these unoriginal games would be justified, so I wouldn't let that idea slide~ It'll make a lot of room for those other improvements to the site, whatever they may be, and more "original content" by the users.

So in my opinion, if there were to be a blam apocalypse, I'd give it the go ahead, Tom.

I vote with MrDonkey. Apocalypse it is. Seriously, I don't give a damn about those games.

Intrapath 2011-01-20 12:08:46

I love the cookie cutter mass blam idea. I was making some icons a while ago and one guy literally submitted the same game 6-7 times.

balbod 2011-01-20 12:09:33

make it like the tressure hunt apart from all the found games are burned and who ever kills the most wins

I agree with this it is a bit dodgy if you can just make an account pretending you are a sponsor and submit stolen games.
I think there should be atleast some credits in the description of the games or in the game itself if only the sponsor submits the game. but then still the actual creators wouldn't get any profit out of it.
I think I would mass blam it unless they co-author the people that did the work (drew art made the music etc.)

OmegaGlow 2011-01-20 12:10:16

I vote for apocalypse, honestly I understand your concerns. Inf act, I kinda am too. I've seen games that I know for a fact someone else made them. Like the Run Jesus Run game. I know for a fact that the one who submitted it was not the one who made it. But it made it through, got front paged and all. It kinda bothers me. But I truly believe a lot of people are just trying too hard to become big on here. It's everyones dream on here to get huge, lets face it. Its the truth. But this doesn't give them license to submit such crappy material to our portal.

I'm pretty sure you will make the right thing, and I look forward to it actually. I'm tired of seeing all this cookie cutter crap on here as well.

If they pass judgment, they pass judgement... just don't promote them at all. The other thing to consider is that I am, in fact, in b4 Louis

Kanrik 2011-01-20 12:11:13

I seriously think that blamming would partially solve the problem. We can't really expect to let this slide, but there is no effective way to solve it either so we are basically left with one question

How do we permanently solve this?

Drawer4Everyone 2011-01-20 12:11:39

Vote for apocalypse, but asking which we want to still continue having.
I don't support newgrounds buying T-Shrits and stuff for viewing that each day there are 500^2000 games that are girl games, car games or clic games.
I know how hard is programming, but they can explode a code as many times they do!

therealanimator 2011-01-20 12:13:10

The creators of the accounts should say who made their games and it gets annoying especially the user 123bee who mades mediocre room escape games. Its spamming the portal and i hate to see shitty games getting 5s that hard working flash game workers deserve.

LewToons 2011-01-20 12:13:12

i think overall the scoring inflation could be knocked back a bit.for these "Cookie cutter both movies and games" its too easy for them to make it into the portal green - even with just the slightest effort.

also i definitely think its more fun when i can place and artist to a game rather than a company - that way it feels like i'm interacting more with the ng community rather than going to one of those shitty games sites

so i guess i would say apocalypse as well

EyeLovePoozy 2011-01-20 12:13:19

If you're referring to the type of things such as those 10 "dress up" games a week that are submitted by the same 1-2 users using alts such as 123dressup etc.

I vote yes on deleting and banning their continued existence.

VicBiss 2011-01-20 12:13:40

I think most sponsors allow the people to submit games, and games submitted by regular people tend to get better scores. And I am also sick of devs rehashing games. If we could I'd blam them, but they get good scores so obviously the audience likes them :/

dags88 2011-01-20 12:15:45

Tom it's time for you to become a iron fist dictator. If they do not obey off with their heads.

shoshanish 2011-01-20 12:16:54

i think mass blam.
but dont just go blaming things.
if its a repeat, blam it unless iots the original.
if its shit that is spam/troll material, BLAM.
if it is hard to decide on flash1, then hold a vote on the individual things, so that some of these hard to decide ones get blammed and others dont.
and also a warning system and update system would be good.

JoSilver 2011-01-20 12:17:32

I say the apocalypse is a bit to extreme, but people should really instead be alittle bit more cautious with their 5's, It's everyone's fault really. The people who vote on it, the people you submit it and even newgrounds. as long as these cookie cutter games don't make it on to the front page or anything I think we'll all be just fine.

shoshanish 2011-01-20 12:19:49

@kanrik
i think we should ahve a super filter made up of computer AND users, so that it works with everyone.
if the cpu thinks its bad, it will tell a select unit of 10-100 members (from a select team of 1,000-10,000 members) about this specific flash and let them decide.

PIED3 2011-01-20 12:20:42

Yes i do think you should delete the Newgrounds Youtube page and stop being such infidels.

Catoblepas 2011-01-20 12:21:43

destroy them
