Little buggers and classification.

Downloads of my tracks has nearly doubled, yet the scores have gone down for them both. Anyone got any idea? Or is the people i pissed off in politics trying to hurt me?

If i have any talent, it'll shine through a pile of shit, and if not, then no matter how much i buff up the shit it wont shine.

I appreciate that my mixes arent amazing, but i dont think i'm good, so i fail to see how these people damage me.

I wouldnt give a shit at all, but good artists like Kingbastard and MonkeyBullman who have class have the same shit happening to them.

Is newgrounds the place for progressive experimental music, or should we jump ship and go elsewhere where we may be appreciated?

I'm just speculating.

Whilst their is the miscellaneous category, the numb kid who blam everyone probably do it because they do not understand what the word means. Maybe techno should be split into commerical style, and acid/experimental.

Cos music that is actually CREATIVE and not following outdated notions of what music should be is getting blammed by people who want to hear more of the safe reassuring music with predictable builds etc. Young people, and stupid people. Inexperience and ignorance both giving the same result.

I think if you piss people off, then the obvious method of revenge is for them to zero your Flash and/or Audio. I personally think that the most damage is caused in the AP by other audio artists, eager for a place on the first page of a genre. Due to the fact that not many people vote on audio, a single zero-vote can make a BIG difference to a submission's score. However, there's not a great deal that can be done about it until the AP gets an overhaul; which is in the pipeline, but no ETA.

Hmmm. Well i'd like to see that the names of people who vote on songs go into a register, and then if an artist is suspecting bias and revenge attacks for voicing their opinion, the perpetrators can be punished. I dont think everyone should be able to see who votes for who, and that the register is only accessible to newgrounds staff, obviously.

The reason people dont vote on audio is because they get no points to, its not in their interest to vote.

I can see the potential problems of giving people points for voting on audio, but surely it wouldnt be any different to giving people points for voting on flash.

Its silly because I make people feel stupid so they lash out. Its very inhuman. But enough of biggin up my debating skills, i'm gonna go learn some much needed musical skills.
