That's all I have to say. I know there are some good crews out there, but the majority of crews are just taking advantage of the portal and fucking with it. I've seen movies with lots of more effort put forth get deleted, and spam submissions with no effort put worth at all pass judgment and rise above them.

If any of you see the following see these tags on submission titles, then view immediately and vote accordingly. Sadly, I have to hit 0 on most of their movies, because that's all the movies are. Zero.
Anyways, tags to watch out for:

- [SS]
- [FFF]
- [FF]
- [DD]
- I'll update this list if I find more.

Submissions by the crews with the tags listed above usually do something called "Mass Voting", where the users of the crews all come in and vote 5, regardless of the content. This turned to turmoil a few weeks ago, as a spam submission submitted right before the day's end got mass voted on, and won the daily portal award. Wade removed it hours later, along with some of the users and the alts belonging to them. I'm even hearing some users removed had an upwards of 200 alts. Why the fuck would you want that many alts (or any at all), and how the fuck could you even keep track of that many?

If you are reading this, you have to watch out for those tags on the movie submissions I've listed, and vote accordingly as fast as you can. We cannot afford to have this shit continue. If it's shit, it needs to be deleted right away. Spam is not deserving of high score, and it doesn't deserve to pass judgment. Not one day goes by where I don't see this happen. I used to think that the portal was pretty damn shaky in 2001. Tuns out, I was just being optimistic.

Why I'm bitching about this, is because I'm a flash author, and shit like this really scares me away from creating or submitting content to NG. Hence why I did not have any 2006 submissions, and only one 2005 submission. It's not only that, but a spam movie won the daily award. An effortless piece of junk won that award. That award is only meant for authors who make movies that are works of art and spam isn't art, it's garbage.
