To be listed as co-author, I guess you have to have them in your porta-buddy list. Maybe removing them from the list works.

I hate the kind of people that co-author famous animators under spam movies. It's almost as if they want to ruin their reputations.

It's a bug, give it some time. somebody will eventually fix the exploit

I think it was a stupid thing to do as all it did was make people think you started to make bad flash. The best course of action would be to mail Tom, if that does not work then you should mail the creator, as by the rules he should have to take you off.

I've had this issue before. Although it happened to me back in 2006 (and perhaps my way might not work now), but if you add whoever put you on those flashes onto your Portal Buddy List and then block them, you should be removed off their flashes.

Thanks man, I'll try that now.

(edit) ok gave it a shot but the user has to approve my Buddy Request first before I can add or block user. I've emailed Tom about it anyways so hopefully something can be done.

Have you tried just blocking/removing the users from your buddies list?

I haven't got many people on my buddies list at all, so unless you can block a user by simply putting their name in a field somewhere, looks like there's not much I can do.

How the heck did they co-author you and the bots? o_O
If they're co-authoring the bots, there must be some kind of bug. You may want to mention that to Tom as well.

From what other people have said (above) it looks like anyone can add anyone as a co-author.. with or without their permission. Not so much a bug as an exploit.

Get their usernames, go into your portal buddies menu, and add them to your blocked list.

If this doesn't work, I suppose the only thing to do is contact Tom, which you've already done.

I believe they're exploiting an error in the system, so it's likely something Tom and the gang will have to fix.

It will most likely be taken care of soon enough without a scar on your reputation. Most likely the few people who have seen it will either see this news post or know something's messed up.
Perhaps a few people will walk away today actually thinking you made this though. Sorry, man.

I've read about this in the forums and it actually is a bug.

Well, seems to be fixed now...

Wait, no, not fixed.

is suxs... right?...
the staff will put the things in order in any moment

This is some frickin' hack that BigFuzzyKitten has done. He also found a way to remove himself from an artist list.

It has nothing to do with anything you've allowed to happen, it's just some little kids screwing around, taking advantage of authors with actual talent like yourself.

Very annoying indeed, especially if it brings down your batting avarage. But for what it's worth, I don't think anyone who've seen your animations actually believes you're capable of movies that bad.

I've been having the same problems as well. It saddens me how low these people are willing to go just to gain infamy or lower a respected authors reputation.

Hopefully a hammer will be dropped, he did the same thing to the NG Bots as well.

Yeah, that is stinks.
I hate it....
But look at the bright side - one more award!
Anyway, no one will belive you - the great Adam Phillips created a spam movie - right after your big sucsses with Waterlollies.

I remember that some guys added dead LiveCorpse to co-authors in 2006. They hacked his account OR they used this bug.

hey! that sounds like it also happened to tomfulp! he made cool submissions but all of a sudden his submissions contain pieces of crap. just like you. it's a good thing you PM'ed tom, he could try to secure it or ban those users.

Agh! You Turd of the Week! Well, I read the comments and adding them, then blocking can't work unless they accept the add. And chances are, they won't, they're going to continue abusing the bug.

There's been lots of threads on the BBS about it, so Tom'll know soon, and it'll all be lost.

On a funnier side, you got Turd of the Week!
