I don't think you're leading a revolt. I'm fairly sure most folks have already noticed it's trolling-ness prior to your post and have just been silent to stay respectful (no matter how disrespectful trolling is). I know this for a fact. However, it's getting out of hand and I applaud you for finally calling them out on it.

...what's sadder is I can name at least two other folks that have trolled just as much this year. What is this 2002 all over again?

I've already stated my stance on this subject and thought it was already resolved back then. Guess not. *shrug*

What's wrong with being proud of your video and wanting the whole world, not just one con to see it? Especially since that person has never won anything big before. Besides, the overall judge of who wins is the audience anyway. Let the audience vote for what they like.

Besides, seeing your vid be "best of" is a very encouraging feeling which continues to make you want to do better...

So what if he trolled it a few times, no need to pushed him down for it...

you're taking this out of context. i know hawk personally and i feel we're friends enough for me to pick on him publicly. i'm very proud his video has done so well.

please don't assume i'm accusing him of anything.

I must've not seen this, but in all honestly I don't read the forums in great detail so if you have explained yourself...sorry.

There's a HUGE difference between being proud of your work and trolling. I'm pretty sure most people on these boards are proud of their work. Submitting it to 10+ contests (probably closer to 20) for 8 months is EXCESSIVE. I'm sure almost everyone here would agree. In fact, I know they do b/c it's been the subject of ridicule multiple times even if they don't post. In fact, I hadn't said anything the last few months since I figured it'd resolve itself like *most* trolls.

Sure the audience makes the decision (actually some were judge-based), but it's rude to the other contestants in the contest to see the same video winning OVER AND OVER. Especially if said contestants are actually attending the contest and that it's a local, smaller convention. That's just downright rude and frankly after winning some 'big' awards isn't it obvious that your video is considered 'good.' There's no reason submitting it after awhile. The data will be the same.

I'm sure what constitutes a troll will be argued (i.e. at what win count do you retire), but I'm fairly sure this instance rubs a lot of people in the wrong way and exceeds that threshold by a healthy margin. At the same time (to somewhat defend trolling), I will say that people should do what makes them happy (even if it's trollling), but everyone else is allowed to 'judge them,' disagree with their philosophy on things or find it rude. This is one of those cases and again, I'm fairly sure the majority of the community has similar beliefs.

I won't go any further since this topic has been beaten to death since 2002, but I stand by my comments on trolling and am quite sure many folks on the org would and already have thought this about that video (and about two more). I was joking with some people earlier, but I'm starting to really think this must be a record year for trolling or something. They've really upped the ante on it Castor

.

...and since I said it'd been beaten to death for awhile, I'll stop with that. Oh and again, if you've explained yourself Nighthawk than this is all moot and apologize.
