It may be just a number but it gives feedback, and then if ya get a good score then it's kinda worth nothing (it's worth nothing anyway but ya know, personally?)

In my early years as a Newgrounder I was guilty of this. I thought my movies deserved more.
Now that I know that they really didn't, I voted those particular early submission back down to where they should be.
So now they have a fairly poor score (but earned legit) but with like over 400 votes.
I have gone to user pages of artists who only have like four submissions. All poor quality, with huge scores. I know thats because nobody checks their userpage but them, so they are free to vote it up.
I agree, it is rather frustrating when you work hard for that 4.10+ and someone can just makes any of their movies that over time :(
the voting system has always ALWAYS been exploitable
and theres no way to fix it
welcome to the internet
I just vote 5 on my most recent 4 flashes and 5 on my top favorite flash everyday. That's how I deposit. Depending on how I'm feeling I may go to the portal and save or blam stuff, and I check the front page often.
I kinda feel bad for pumping up the score so much on some of my less popular games, but yeah. It's convenient.
No matter how high or how low their score is, it won't change a thing about their ability to animate, or how good the movie is.
The only thing that happens is them being pretentious, attention seeking, ego growing losers. They do not benefit at all from a higher score, it only gets to them in ways they hardly notice themselves.
In the end, it only affects them and not me, so I don't care.
that'll pass
meh the BA means nothing when it comes to quality because only people on the BBS care about BA for collabs and shit like that, and im sure if people wanna start a collab people will look at their BA and see what animation is so great and see that its just a duck that bobs its head in and out the water...god i hate how that got front page...
yeah i agree...but all animators are guilty of this usually when we are starting out...lets admit it, we thought we were the best shit since sliced bread...so we had our animations voted up...its just instinct...but as we mature in life and as animators we begin to realize that obviously people are going to vote fairly on your animations...i dont even vote on my own animations anymore...there will always be people like that here, so i expect to see this posted once a week...lol but seriously...its just how 12 year olds are...
im not guilty of it cause i dont get angry/happy/frusterated by numbers.
You should find pieces successful on your own terms not based on some numbers polled from 12 yr olds.
If I were to base how successful any of my cartoons, they would let me down. Not because they're that bad, but because I will always find flaws in my work XD
I agree I've seen your flashes, and those scores are way too high
awww mindchamber, wheres the love?
My scores have been doped with drugs. They are way too high. I would expect 3.5 or so at max, but even still pretty much most of my score go over 4.
Frikkin' annoying.
I agree
I know, there are some true lords of therepetitive self-vote in this site... but who cares? nobody watchs their shit anyway : D

this is a good example of the gracious benefits voting for yourself can do!
One good thing about this though, is it will only ever affect batting average at the most.
Since you can only vote 5 once a day, they will never achieve any sort of award in that fashion.
And it won't make them any more popular in the community.
But, it will make them have the slightest boost in self esteem! Good for them...
Well maybe they're sick of shape flashes and other crap getting noticed while their high quality work is passed off as useless by those who don't play it.
I'm talking about those new artists who submit quality pieces and they get good reviews and all, but then shit like shape flashes and that duck thing get front page and they are left in the corner, sad and neglected.
i do that but it's only because i think it deserves more. also, i do that for a few days and then forget about it.
rtil
it's just a number kiddo just a number

Oh my lord! Rtil did not make fun of me for being a Videogame-parody animator!...Now that's amazing ^^
