they do it to eliminate competetion and hopefully make you stop music so then they take over.

They got the best out of pandora.

Just let it be don't fight back or else you go as low as them...

Stooping to their level is what kills.

even though its satisfying its still not good because then it continues.

But if only the admins found a way to track down these ppl then it would be good like if they don't announce it to anyone so then bam wade posts like 500 bans and accounts delete all in one shot.

One day one day......

if you could read all the 'music' reviews of a member, and looked up a zero rater, i bet you'd see 100s of people rated at 0 lol

i would stop it if i was a newgrounds programmer =(
simply create a bot to detect continued 0/1 ratings, and to detect ratings which massivly conficts the average rating of a piece...

but how would they do that because if it was as simple as it seems then enwgorunds would of already implanted this into the system.

because theres is a possibility of it getting messy... top highscore tracks titles could keep changing but remain the same tracks... people could delete a pro track then attempt to take flash animators to court for copyright theft .ect

but i'm sure with some thoughts and methods it could work and be useful

How to Handle Abusive Reviews + Other user reviews to laugh at.

Fighting back makes you look like an ass, and vulnerable. You have to falsify the review in order to "get back". Most of the time the reviews "lack coherency", theyre just "little people trying to be big".

I didn't fight back :P
Coz i'm the shiznit

But it's not exactly intelligent. It'll make you feel good warrented you get the final word, but you have to think of all of the "fans" or "listeners" who will be reading those reviews for the rest of NG Eternity.

Less'n you delete the songs.

coz i'm the shit'znit

I fight back - because its fun - and because they succeed in pissing me off. As do many people.

lol

Someone will like select songs, maybe from certain genres, certain flashes, they will be intrigued by other opinions of the song, maybe to make one themselves. Now times that by a hundred.

I'll go review it in a minute... Don't sweat the zero's man - they mean NOTHING!

- I left a post in your other thread about leaving but re-reading it made me think it might sound a little harsh - I didn't mean to attack you or anything I'm just trying to say that the review process shouldn't concern you as much as the MUSIC itself...

Stick around! and CONTINUE making music no matter what the punks say!
