vote 0-1 on a submission that is in purple. if enough people blam it you get a blam point.

Blamming*.

You get blam/save points by going to the Flash Portal (big button in the header) and voting on Under Judgment flashes (highlighted in purple).

A flash must pass several checkpoints to pass judgment. If it's below the required score at a checkpoint, it is deleted, and anyone who voted 0 or 1 on it will gain a Blam Point.

50 votes - 0.60
100 votes - 0.75
150 votes - 1.25
200 votes - 1.60
*Note---flashes with multiple co-authors must meet higher requirements, although the exact scores needed aren't widely known.

After a flash passes 200 votes and has a score of 1.60 or higher, it is saved, and everyone who gave it a 2, 3, 4, or 5 gets a Protect Point. Also, once a flash has passed, it can never be deleted, regardless of how low its score gets. Only an admin or the author could remove it post-judgment.

Add up your Blam and Protect points to get your B/P total. The higher your total, the higher your rank---ranging from Civilian to Supreme Commander. Higher ranks give more prestige and a boost to your vote power. Check the FAQ to see a list of all the ranks, including B/P requirements, badges, and the experience boost.

For example, my base voting power (determined by experience) is 7.47. I have over 30000 B/P points, making me a Supreme Commander, which means that I get a 60% boost---making my true voting power an impressive 11.95. This means that my votes are nearly twelve times more effective than an unregistered voter's.
