Hear me! HEAR ME!...no wait...thats not right =.=. ANYHOW!

I am posting this because I have noticed that there are very few people that bother to vote, and even fewer that bother to write a simple 10second review for a song. Ok...so some of you may not have ten seconds to spare...well...what about the rest? This has especially happened for my songs. I have not seen one of my songs (minus the new one) get one vote in the last 48hours...why is that? People are either too lazy to bother voting...or too afraid of what their vote might do to the score...who cares!? Give me some votes people, and ABOVE ALL, listen to most, if not ALL of the song before you bother to vote. You wouldn't believe how many times I have had a number of great reviews all saying they gave me say...a 5/5 only to look at the score and find that I have a 3.07 or something like that after only 7 or so votes. After awhile I came to the conclusion that people just don't bother to listen past the intro of the song...

So come on people...all you have to do is vote...you don't HAVE to review...though that IS nice. It doesn't really take any time at all. Heck! even non-users (guests) of newgrounds can vote...that is something you don't have to be signed in to use^^.

ALSO! Please remember to rate a flash depending on how the artist did...not what the audio sounds like. The only time the audio should affect a flashes rating is when it is a original piece done by either the artist of the flash itself, or by someone else within the newgrounds flash portal (or maybe a friend of the artist that is not a member of the site itself). In summary, do NOT rate a flash based on its audio, I mean seriously, you don't think I am getting sick of running into high ranking flash movies with great music and horrible animation?

Ok I am done rambling...time for bed...and please rate fairly and review if you can...one thing artists (of any genre) hate is that when they see a horrible rating and nobody tells them why.

Off to bed then!
Cya! :D

P.S. One of these days I am going to make a song with a HORRIBLE INTRODUCTION...but come to find out that if you had bothered to listen for just 12seconds into the song...it turns into something great.

P.P.S. As it seems...I have forgotten to mention that not all poorly animated flash on newgrounds are necessarily bad...its just that many times a nicely animated flash submission is more highly prized...take the Brackenwood series...those stepped up the bar for flash submissions everywhere...before that people were content with funny, if badly animated flashes about various topics. I am not going to say that all nicely drawn animations are good, nor am I going to go out and state that all badly drawn animations are horrible, but what I am trying to say is that IF you do see a bad animation, listen to it one time through for the sounds and such...and maybe go through again with the sound turned off. Why would you want to do this? Simple...this way you can see the little defects in each submission that you originally thought were good, and maybe some really nice parts in a flash that you thought was horrible. In the end though...it all comes down to the person...
