Newgrounds Mod knows what he's talking about

[WasabiClock]

So I made this thread; http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1047315 about this review here; http://sefam.newgrounds.com/reviews/flash

And you know, just this one moderator, walks in and tell everyone making a Foamy movie is hard then closes the topic to look right.

So I message the guy, tell him that I have flash 8 and flash CS3, that I am part of the clock crew and that looping 5 movie clips with tweens isn't a fucking accomplishment and he answers to this part of my PM;

I can't see how I can give proper constructive criticism to this guy when he constantly copy paste the same movie clips from 6 years ago(Quality stayed stagnant for 6 years) and he never do anything to improve it since he gets exposure from the paste anyway. I was just asking if my review was alright and what a good review should contain.

By this;

A good review should contain constructive criticism. If you don't have anything worthwhile to say, don't review. If you don't like IWP's submissions, don't watch them. It's pretty simple. Nobody is forcing you to watch his stuff and nobody is forcing you to leave a review.

Now I message this;

Yet he still "steals" slots on the front page and daily awards from artists who actually deserve it, you tell me I don't have to watch it, yet it still picks up frontpage and awards. My criticism here is not that I don't like IWP's submissions; they're actually quite enjoyable to be honest, but the fact that he's been doing this for 6 years.

I'm being sooooooooooo honest. Then he answers this;

that's his porogative.
  And he isn't stealing anything. awards and placement on special sections of the site and the front page are totally out of an author's control.
  submissions on the front page and special sections of the site are placed there by the staff
  awards are given out based on the score and review score from users voting and reviewing.
  It is not his fault that people like his work and feature it and vote highly on it.

From the review guidelines:
  Stay on the topic of the submission and do not make personal remarks or insults towards the author. This is a big offense. Telling artists "You suck!", "You should go kill yourself!", "You are gay!" etc., will get you banned and you may lose your account. Without our contributors Newgrounds wouldn't be what it is, so we take seriously any insults directed at them by reviewers.
  If you think a submission doesn't belong on the front page of the site or shouldn't be featured in special sections of the site, keep it to yourself. The submissions on the front page and in special sections of the site are put there by our staff, not by the author. Keep your focus on how the person who submitted might improve their work.
  both of these guidelines make it pretty clear that your review should reflect the quality of the content and not talk about other things or leave personal remarks to the author.

Now I answer this;

I said the personal remark didn't affect my score. The staff simply keeps putting Foamy on the front page because it brings in traffic, IllWillPress also puts in tons of fanservice and that assures him to get a high score each time. I keep submitting the same review, the same points because Foamy movies are always the same. I will just keep saying the same crap every week because the guy keeps submitting stuff.

Thanks for your understanding.

Now I get this bullshit;

Again, if you don't like it, don't watch it. and if you don't watch it, don't review it. It's pretty easy to slip into the portal and watching something else.

Then I answered that if no one ever watched movies they didn't like, that all the flashes would have +4.80/5 and that the "duty" of a newgrounder is to rate as most flashes as possible. Then he didn't answer. How do you like them apples Malachy? And if you can't vote down on IllWillPress' crap because you don't like it, then fags should stop voting down on clock movies because they're clock movies and they don't like clock movies. Didn't think about that one now didcha?

oh

[RocketFetus]

He has no argument.

[WasabiClock]

Those retards probably delete your reviews for not liking stuff they consider "hard" to do.

[SnakeClock]

I hate to use Godwin's Law, but I keep thinking that people browbeating the Nazi party for the "final solution", they'd say "If you don't like it, don't look at it."

That's quite naïve.

[Slurpee]

newgrounds has been like that for like 5 or 6 years

Don't talk back to the newgrounds mods.

Shame on you!

[MonsterMunch]

God its like fucking groundhog day.

[ToadClock]

Serious business. Newgrounds is more important than nuclear holocaust. Can I get an amen, brothers?

[ToadClock]

That, my beloved Corpesgrinder, is why we used to do top fifty mass votes.

[WobbuffetClock]

Did that moderator guy really say that it's hard to make a Foamy movie?

[ToadClock]

Used to? Last I checked we still do. Sure they get voted down pretty quick but still.

I'm frankly amazed that Easy Way Out has stayed on there this long. I knew it was good, but one certainly can't count on Newgrounds to see that!

That's actually a quality movie. Doesn't have the same effect as mass voting spam.

[Heliopios]

hey guys this movie newgrounds newgrounds newgrounds

[RomanClock]

90% of NG have no idea whats hard to do in Flash, let alone how to use it.

[Slurpee]

only carrot clock was not spam it was a masterpiece

[Clocktopus]

Hence why the YuYu is rank 310 but Charlie the Unicorn 3 is number friggin' one.

I liked the first Charlie the Unicorn.

But that was it.

Actually now that I watch the third one, it wasn't too bad, but rank #1, come on...

Want me to print screen the forum post and post it here?
