I'm curious if it's actually possible to get enough ops to be eligible for the top 10% system currently without being a total fucking whore about it. I figure an announcement thread, slight pimping here or there, and a single op exchange thread isn't overly whorish. Although hitting up any and every free op thread around would be, so I'll skip that. Anyway, since I'm one of the more known pricks around here, please treat this as if an unknown editor were offering. If you wouldn't do an op exchange with user joeblow1325 then don't with me.

Note: Score is not my concern. I'm testing to see how hard it is to get enough ops to qualify for the top 10% system, not actually trying to get on the top 10%. As long as I get a total of ten ops, I don't care about the actual scores. Well, I should say as long as the scores are legit. I'm not seeking nor will I give all 1 op trolls.

So leave the below video an op and I'll op whichever of your videos you want. How serious I'll be depends entirely on how serious you are. Leave a one sentence op, get a one sentence op. Give a lengthy well thought out op, get a lengthy well thought out op. Up to you.

I liked the video, so I'll be happy to write an opinion for it. Especially since you give such a great offer. Note one thing: I will write lengthy opinion, but not because I want you to write the same, but because that's how I love writing those things. So I think it would be better if you'd also write your opinion as you want. I mean if you don't have one page to say, don't write one page simply because I did it. Sure: more detailed you write, the better. Here's my vid:



It's quite short so... I suppose I need to write opinion first. I think I should have some time till the end of this week and I'll be able to write it until then. Thanks for attention, see ya.

Alright, I'll trade ops with you. I missed the main part of the -review when it was discussed, so I may as well correct that. I've been curious about your thoughts on my Gregory Horror Show video anyway.

Er, I mean I've been curious what joeblow1325 thinks about it.

You know what, if you're still doing this I'll bite. I too missed out on the review, so lets give it a shot. I'll op when I get home from work.

You know, I don't really have any specific video I think needs an op, my recent vids were mostly jokes anyway. So, you pick. (after all, my best vid of the past year was a LA vid so no ops can really be given)

I'm still doing this just for the hell of it, although I did hit the (new) limit of ops so I don't have anything to prove by it anymore. Although at the moment I need to do like 3 ops for people. I'd curse my laziness, but I can't get up the effort to do so.

I wonder why you're doing this, since you're banned from the top lists to begin with... a shame, I might add, since this video would be worth it. :(
Ok well, I'm not wondering since you explained in the first post, but it's still sad that you're banned - while there are valid reasons, it's still too bad. :x

Wait, why is he banned from the top lists? :?
This was a pretty decent video imo. I'm still new to the whole scene, so I may not be aware of whatever incidents that may have taken place prior...but still. Give props where it's due.

I got a total piece of shit to #1 years ago by begging people to give it all 10's as a joke. Apparently that ticked someone off that I was able to do that, even though it was entirely within the rules. My entire point was kind of how moronic the op exchange you jerk me off I'll jerk you off stuff was, so violating a rule to achieve my result would have been pointless. I could argue that I shouldn't be banned from it since I did follow the rules and the only difference between what I did and what others do is that I'll actually admit it. However, I never bothered arguing about it because, in the end, I don't give a shit. The system is pretty pointless these days, or at least was until the recent change in # of ops required to get on top 10% (which is what started this thread to begin with).

Lol, I didn't know anything ever came out of that. Banned for it sounds kind of overkill, afterall there was a shitload of people who assisted *points at self*. I thought it was just an all in good fun joke. Well Sorry you got banned for it, you said you don't care but I think you'd like to see your vids on that list if they deserve it just as much as the next person.

Thanks for the op, will take your advice into account...

Although I have next to no clue as to how to clean up footage to make it look better, I will try to focus on producing better flow...in the preliminary version, there was actually a LOT more literal sync than in the final version. It's tricky to create a good mood without it feeling too random.

Anyway, thanks again for the op, good stuff! :up: :up: :up:
