What is going on?

Posted by RatherRandomReality - September 7th, 2011


What is up with the terrible scores all flash is getting recently??? A daily winner with 3.27??? Something weird is been happening recently, any ideas, anyone?

ALSO, I just saw it and... why am I king of the portal???? What the HELL?

simple, the quality of flashes overall is degrading.

That's quite a doomsday generalization, 2012.

Oh yess maybe my garbage flashes will make an extra 7 cents this month

I am hopeful of a payment in July 2014 myself. According to rough estimations.

Ever since the latest game Jam, all submissions have had far lower scores then what they should have. Back then it was blamed on the lower quality of the flashes, but it wasn't that. Stuff that would usually get 4.0x was getting 3.6x instead.

And now, it's at its worst. Most of the top five submissions today deserved at least 3.6. It's not a fault of the voting system either, because most submissions pass judgement with a justified score, but then the zeroing begins.

I've noticed and it's worrying. I think it's the fact that votes are hidden. Maybe something like a little tracker right underneath the submission score that shows the last 10 votes and who cast them will help people being more respectful to the hard work people put in their creations.

Nice job on getting king of the portal.

Thanks! Not sure if it's 100% deserved but it is what it is.

Newgrounds just need a redesing.

That is true.

I've been wondering myself... I hope the redesign helps get things back on track. Seeing the low scores and low views has been a little worrying.

Yes. I can't remember it being like this before.

The reason overall scores are degrading is simply just that Newgrounds is gaining more users.

By the way, grats.

It may be a reason, but still it's just people voting on stuff like always.

i guess you could say that you getting king is
(sunglasses)
rather random

I've never put sunglasses on in my life :)

Its that now people are getting smarter(if you can call it that) they realize if a flash has a score of four and they think it deserves a three that voting three wont really do anything so instead they'll vote zero or one knowing that it has a better chance of making the score what they think it should be

idk if that made since and if not ill re explain later

Maybe they thought making you king of the portal would look rather random. ...

all hale the king of the portal we r not worthey

Kiss the pinky ring, bitch.

Congratulations on becoming the king of the portal!

Thanks!

Probably the waves of disgruntled Apple i-something users which all refuse to play Flash...

Never thought of that but sounds logical in a way.
