Hello everyone,
I have postponed my regular essay because of an outrageous event.Several days ago I was browsing the submissions on yoyogames.com and came across member Zeit-Geist, who has uploaded a number of junk games (just series of images).In "good citizen" mode, I reported his games, rated them 1, and duly commented on the games and in his guest book.Today, I discovered that he has gone and done the same thing to all but one of my (real) games, including the one that got a staff review of 7/10 here on 64Digits.As you can imagine, I am very upset by this and would appreciate any assistance you could give in repairing the damage.<table><tr><td><div style="width: 177px; background: #000; margin: 0px; border: 1px solid #424242;"><a href="http://www.yoyogames.com"><img src="http://www.yoyogames.com/images/embed/game_tag_bg.gif" alt="YoYoGames" style="border: 0; padding: 0; margin: 0;" /></a><div style="text-align: center; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.yoyogames.com/games/embed/229"><img alt="1-4" src="http://www.yoyogames.com/extras/image/name/583/medium/1-4.jpg" style="border: 2px solid #fff;" /></a></div><p style="font-size: 0.8em; font-family: arial; color: #c0c0c0; padding: 15px 10px; margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.yoyogames.com/games/embed/229" style="color: #ccff00;">Galaxy Belchers</a><br /><strong>Added: </strong>27 April 2007<br /><strong>By:</strong> bendodge</p></div></td><td><div style="width: 177px; background: #000; margin: 0px; border: 1px solid #424242;"><a href="http://www.yoyogames.com"><img src="http://www.yoyogames.com/images/embed/game_tag_bg.gif" alt="YoYoGames" style="border: 0; padding: 0; margin: 0;" /></a><div style="text-align: center; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.yoyogames.com/games/embed/528"><img alt="S1" src="http://www.yoyogames.com/extras/image/name/1318/medium/s1.jpg" style="border: 2px solid #fff;" /></a></div><p style="font-size: 0.8em; font-family: arial; color: #c0c0c0; padding: 15px 10px; margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.yoyogames.com/games/embed/528" style="color: #ccff00;">ToyTanks 2 Beta</a><br /><strong>Added: </strong>30 April 2007<br /><strong>By:</strong> bendodge</p></div></td><td><div style="width: 177px; background: #000; margin: 0px; border: 1px solid #424242;"><a href="http://www.yoyogames.com"><img src="http://www.yoyogames.com/images/embed/game_tag_bg.gif" alt="YoYoGames" style="border: 0; padding: 0; margin: 0;" /></a><div style="text-align: center; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.yoyogames.com/games/embed/10606"><img alt="Ss1" src="http://www.yoyogames.com/extras/image/name/25392/medium/ss1.jpg" style="border: 2px solid #fff;" /></a></div><p style="font-size: 0.8em; font-family: arial; color: #c0c0c0; padding: 15px 10px; margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.yoyogames.com/games/embed/10606" style="color: #ccff00;">Sub Wars</a><br /><strong>Added: </strong>06 September 2007<br /><strong>By:</strong> bendodge</p></div></td></tr></table>I realize that it is rather selfish of me to post this here, but well, I'm human.

Well…it <i>is</i> only yoyogames. That site is full of losers like him, and the people that run it don't appear to be great staff like here at 64digits. Heh, 64digits FTW!
Yeah, Yoyogames is full of dumb pricks.
Off-Topic: I got banned from it before it was released. Lawl.I helped on one of your games.
I like having good ratings, too, but you really shouldn't let the ratings at YoYoGames bother you. There are plenty of people who rate low out of jealousy and others that rate high for the most trivial reasons.
And then there are jerks.Well, I agree that YYG has a lot of problems, but it is rapidly overtaking other GM sites in terms of game distribution.
(And thank you very much for the help.)well actually I think he (and others) are just going through all pages and rating all games "1" - my game got rated 1 even before it was downloaded once..
Anonymous voting fails
So does YYGSolution?Ignore YYGNo, the solution is to have more active mods.
