As a reporter?
Yeah. If you can be a writer too, great, but first, if anyone can, they should put in a report. I can write the article if necessary.

Okay... But I have no clue what or where it is... So, help? I feel terrible. I can write the article... But all I know about it is that scratchrank is a website where you can upvote scratchers.

Wolvesstar just said she was almost done!
EDIT: And I'm the writer.
Double Edit: The Scratch Proxy thing is something wolvesstar thought of and we both elaborated. Chongyian was accused of using proxies for getting 75 upvotes in one day, as far as I know. But he requires me to say that he was 'falsely accused'.

I say we just don't name him. I don't want to twist the truth.
Edit: I just told her she has to get it in, or else she's going to be relieved of her duties. I really hope she gets it in.

Report for Proxies:
DISCLAIMER- I'm not trying to be mean to anyone, I'm stating my opinion and the facts I could find.
ScratchRank, created by Trinary has gone from "Vote to your favorite Scratcher" to "Vote for yourself"
ScratchRank is now populated by people using excessive amounts of proxies. The proxies change IP adresses.
Chongyian is the most obvious proxy user, as they went from 0 to 76 votes in under an hour. Later, he advertised "giving out free votes" on the forums. The topic was closed, but not before some Scratchers (jontmy00 and JJROCKER) asked for votes. They were highly skeptical however.
It is very likley that chongyian was using proxies. He has been banned for it.
However, he claimed that he did not know of the 6-hour rule and it kept letting him vote. It could be a glitch, or more likely, proxies.
Chongyian also has been removed from ScratchRank.
It is also highly likley that other users were using proxies too. Many users shot up in votes quickly. This cannot be confirmed at this time.
Before the proxy incedent, some people were using proxies. It wasn't major though, and legitimate votes were the majority.
When ScratchRank originally started, it was designed to be a website where you vote for your favorite Scratchers. It went quickly to voting only for yourself.
Sorry for the delay. My grandma and sister were visiting, and I also was trying to rewrite it so it didnt sound as much as slander.

Nice I actually understand this!
Nice job....

Um...sorry, but I couldn't help but notice that on scratch, you generally don't mention users names, as this could cause gossip and get the person very upset. So please, I recommend not to mention Chongyian's name.
(Yes, I do want to be a moderator)

Okay, here is some info for the war between Blue_Spy annd Fanta...
It started when KingFanta apparently stole MuffinMaster's muffins. So, Blue_Spy was MuffinMaster's servant and then LordCocacola came in and was against everyone. He later joined KingFanta. The projects were filling up the front page, and pinky9123 protested against it. Later, I did to and got like 6 supporters. Then, it sounds like Blue_Spy fired the X (MuffinMaster's secret weapon) at MuffinMaster. MuffinMaster asked for peace, and the war seems to be at a close.
The War Between KingFanta, Blue_Spy and LordCocacola
How did the war start?
The spark for this war was KingFanta stealing some of MuffinMaster's muffins. MuffinMaster then declared war on KingFanta. Blue_Spy was MuffinMaster's servant at the time so he got dragged into it. MuffinMaster left Blue_Spy to do most of the work. Then LordCocacola joined in and didn't take sides, instead he was against everyone.
How did the war develop?
The projects for this epic war started to clogg up the front page. Many peace-loving users weren't happy about this. The first protest was by pinky9123. Later, Yoshiboy protested as well and got 6 supporters. But 6 wasn't enough. The only people who could stop the war were the people involved.
How did the war end?
Blue_Spy fired the X at MuffinMaster. This is a very powerful weapon that is (or was) MuffinMaster's secret weapon. MuffinMaster asked for peace and everyone agreed and the war cloggs the front page no longer.

It was true I got up to 75 upvotes a day by myself, but i definitely did not use proxies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@WingsGames, did you mean me when you said 'relieved of his duties'? IF you were... I am a boy... you used her...
@ Meapinator: I was not removed from ScratchRank, just set to 0, after my request...

never mind, I give up... just write me as badly as you can. Try to make me seem more 'evil' also... that might rocket Scratch Chatter... Since even BirdByte is against me...

No, there is nothing else needed (i think?) for this issue except for scratch proxies report and writing. Just relax and wait for the next issue...
