You know something is really wrong with the Newgrounds Portal when a submission wins Daily Feature and then is blammed.

These damn crews (Kitty Krew, the Fag Crew, or [DD] or whatever) are uploading spam, and a bunch of their members are doing a "fiffen" (voting 5 on them, even though the submission clearly doesn't deserve it). It got way out of control today, as seen that the daily featured has just been blammed. Thankfully other users voted accordingly and correctly (and NG is not completely full of retards), but there's got to be something done about this so it doesn't happen again.

What should happen is that all submissions that are submitted 1 or 2 hours prior to the new day on NG will not win any featured awards or anything until the day afterward (that is, if they are quality submissions). That way, these kinds of thing won't happen, and only the deserving submissions are on the charts.

I feel really bad for the people who actually submitted quality submissions but didn't receive any recognition because of these spamming assholes and their stupid crews.

I've been working on Crap Os X2 (click here for a peek) for about 5 years now (on and off, but still), I've put hundreds, literally, HUNDREDS of hours into this upcoming submission and I fear that it might get knocked out by this stupid spam and their crews if I upload it to the NG portal.

We've had problems with spam in the past but I don't think it's ever been something as bad as this (unless you remember Britney Spear's Fucks), and I hope there's a little bit more control over crap like this when we are farther into 2009.

(The above 4 paragraphs were just posted to the NG BBS's daily featured topic, so if you've already read that post, sorry about the repetitive stuff, I originally wrote everything in here for the blog, but then decided to post some of it to the NG BBS as well)

It would be a shame to have something I've been making for this long (especially with NG in mind) to be scattered to the winds like this, because of pure idiocy. Sounds just like the country I live in, to be honest. The people who really do good for my country really go unrecognized, but yet, there are shitheads are all over the fucking news.
