I wrote this to cheer you up Agri - and I even dedicated it to you and your persecuted "Dummy"

While you're at it, Chucky, the same lamewad has been failing to give me 5s on all of my parodies for a long time:
You know you want to...

Yeah, somebody keeps doing this to me as well. I'll have a number of people giving me all fives and, one jerk has to throw all ones into the mix. I can understand that their sense of humor may differ from mine and, that of the others but; to give me a one for pacing, when I know the pacing is dead on, is just plain wrong. I wouldn't do that to anyone else. I read almost every parody, every day. If I don't know the OS, I usually don't vote. If I think the parody is horrible, again, I don't vote. I just move on to the next one. If I think a parody is funny but, the pacing is off, I will rate it accordingly.

It's good to see you've got integrity, Rick...unfortunately, the ones guys have none. This has been an ongoing hot topic since I joined over a year ago; everyone has been spiked with ones from these morons, which in a way is reassuring, knowing that they usually don't target one person in particular (However, Agri seems to be getting a hard time). It's easy to say "ignore them", but it is disconcerting to have your hard work childishly rubbished. As everyone says, it's really the comments, not the votes, that count...and the ones guys obviously don't have the mental acuity to string a sentence together. ;)
You watch...I'm bound to get spiked today....

It should be noted, Rick C., that although this has been an on-going thing, this particular song was specifically targeted after I had placed it in the D ABC Round, garnering TWICE it's 1s pile over the course of 2 weeks. This was blatant harassment as opposed to rudeness.

It actually used to be much worse. Back when the top 10 lists were on the front page, songs would get 1'd to knock them out. If you look at any of the really old songs, they'll have tons of them.
Luke, LOL.

Agrimorfee, as one of the commentors mentioned, your parody does appear to describe the ones guy to a tee. Maybe that's why they targeted that particular parody. I guess I'll stop whining now. At least they're only doing it once in a while to me. Kristof is right about the comments, rather than the votes though. It's been very encouraging to me, as a newbie, to have established authors, like yourself and Kristof critique my work.

Hey guys, you have to PM or E-mail these kinds of requests to Chucky. He doesn't always catch them when we post them to the board and he almost never catches them when we post them to the comments of a parody.

Since Chucky erased all the Ones Guy votes from the "Dummy" parody as mentioned above, I think he should do that for some of Will Tong's parodies as well. Too many ignorant people are sabotaging the ratings of Will Tong's paroides, which I think is totally unfair.

I'm not going to begin removing all the one votes on the site... I only did this one because it was clearly a repeat offender.

Do you really think that William Tong or anyone else who writes similar quality cares about this?

Chucky, please remove, from all song parodies on www.amiright.com, all votes of 1,2,3, and 4, and please replace all of those votes with votes of 5. Thank you.

Well, I'm sure there are repeat offenders who have been unfairly oneing Bill Tong's parodies. Maybe if a certain parody had 28 triple one votes, like the first one mentioned in here just did (a year or so ago), then that might be reason to yank out immoral votes. But just on one parody.

Chuck,
A bombardment of 111's has been found on this parody and this one, too. (click the links to get to the paroides so you'll know which ones I'm talking about) I happen to know that both of these parodies are perfectly paced, yet some stupid trolls (who might be the same offender on each of the respective parodeis) keep hitting them up with 1's. I know you yanked out a series of 1's from the parody listed at the beginning of this thread
http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/cranberries1.shtml
so if you could remove the unfair ratings from the two I linked to, that would be helpful. I'm sick of unfair low votes, especially when the pacing is spot on. If a person doesn't agree with the parody's content, that's one thing, but they should at least have respect for the pacing.

Assuming you're not being sarcastic, that's a tall order.
Sarcasm is more likely.
