Oh my god, I actually have it stuck in my head. I stepped away to tend to the mead batch I'm prepping to bottle, and as I was cleaning the bottles...

how many shrimps do you have to eat...

Me and topboy @oolaph actually had a bit of a KKB marathon last week. They're actually pretty great imo, but Flamingo is from their debut mixtape and not representative of their overall quality, I don't know why it's so popular.

Their album Bonito Generation is a significant improvement, and more recently they've gone in a completely different direction on their new EP with a slightly experimental punk sound and more somber lyrics. The EP is excellent imo, especially the track Only Acting followed by You Know How It Is, I've gotten a lot of replays out of it already. Here's the EP on spoofy and those two tracks on YT if interested.

About time! A lot of these songs are new to me, and spotify refuses to work for some reason, so getting the sources to play has been whack. In most cases, instead of pasting a link, @Peregrinus, you can just type out the name and artist, or a video title for memes.

Also good job team -- because I couldn't recognize some of these, not to mention find all of them, myself, and that was a huge backlog!

Ps: It's way easier to handle these reports if you do them in chunks of 10 or so, so we can handle them as quick as possible, with less confusion. You can double post here so long as you're past the edit window.

I may keep doing the links to keep myself honest. If I just put the title then that's the extra legwork for someone else to go and find what sometimes is an obscure link to Deezer or Spotify. If I have the link then at least (when Spotify works, sometimes it just needs a reload) it's a case of "click link 1, click link 2, yep they're the same".

Sounds good. I was trying to minimize the post-hoarding by keeping the batch around 25. I found that when caught up/not a weekend/have the energy, 25ish covers the full day. I actually don't mind if the older posts are purged out once all the submission have been dealt with, if clutter becomes an issue.

I haven't clicked any of them yet, because I wouldn't put it past anyone to just have Flamingo waiting for me on the other end.

Would you mind typing title and artist before your links? I really do have issues with spotify reports, but I've never been unable to find something with title and artist unless it's suuuuper obscure.

For common songs you see a lot, title and artist should be sufficient. We all recognize them within the first two seconds, like as not.

Sounds good. I was trying to minimize the post-hoarding by keeping the batch around 25.

Tbh when I see more than 10 users in a single post I'm going to have to click through the song, check the source, then investigate the whole account and finally ban, I start sweating LOL. I can manage that though. A batch of 25 is a lot to scroll through and sometimes I lose my place. I also know saving up those megaposts is a lot of work on your end because I used to do it too! Lol.

Backlog isn't an issue really. I'd prefer they stay for posterity. Also, not all of us audio mods are also forum mods.

I can't vouch for it personally, as I haven't used Firefox in a dedicated fashion for quite a while, but it uses the ACR Cloud database. The downside to the Firefox extensions I looked into are that they still rely on microphone input like Shazam does, which means having to play it out loud.

Thanks for the info. I'll give a check to songifier and dig for other similar software.
The reliance on mic input it's kind of a deal breaker to me, but maybe there are some other alternatives.
Pre-made stuff libraries are huge, it's hard to keep track of them all navigating by memory. x__x

Hello, world.
I basically came here after being advised from the Elite Barracks.
I just wanted to fix my broken whistle :P.

Quite common, STOLEN almost daily from

MDK - Press Start

. Common fodder for the younger age range because it is also the intro song for Youtuber "DanTDM". This song is on here almost daily.

Sometimes you can actually know when something is off because of the username. Common ones include "GD" somewhere in the name. I'm sure one will find it's way here. This one below is familiar to me, because I started keeping a list of users in March titled "Repeat Offenders". This user had also submitted something they didn't make to the flash portal:

• Unpublished Submission

The audio for this is from a

portal submission

(and on

youtube

) by Koir.

Common things include just having the artist and title of the track, like below:

So there's an easy 7 flags, which took about 15 mins (including typing out the post and prepping supper). You don't need an extension to help clean out the AP, but a few flags a day of obviously stolen content chips away at the continuous battle. It's going to be busier as Summer approaches. In the end, the less stolen content on Newgrounds, the safer the site is from legal action. And it gives a nice benefit of a shiny whistle.

Cheers!

Broken whistle turned into a normal one in one flag? Woah. Anyways, gotta go desposit the daily points. Just wondering; why don't you get points by rating audio submissions?

Sorry for the double post... I just found this submission, and it's obviously taken from the DubstepGutter youtube channel.

Farewell, dear submission.

It doesn't take much. Nobody (users/mods) can see the points associated with the whistle levels so we can't give a "X whistles per level" guideline, but if a user makes a mistake and wants to fix a whistle it doesn't take much effort as long as you aren't too deep in the hole.

Newgrounds' main draw is the animation portal, and that's a core value of the site's history. It's been asked a few times over the years (and I like the unified experience/voting idea), but it is likely as a means of continuing to keep that portal visible. The portal moves much slower than it did when I joined, both in number of submission but also in how long submissions take to go through Judgement phase. Expanding voting to all portals would be nice for the user, but could result in submissions taking 24+ hours to clear judgement.

I'd more say that your average user can't see points, and mods can't just look at your profile and see points. We do see how much weight your flags have when you flag something; it's just a function so we know who has put in work (accurately) when we're looking at a huge list of content, and who has an iffy history. A lot of times we get people who will abuse the system to fling curse words at us (or the author), or thinking they can flag stuff just because it doesn't work in GD.

One day someone flagged MY songs because I banned them. That was great.

Also, none of us really knows how many flags it takes per level, but if you're sitting at normal, one bad flag can take you down to garbage, @Agg1. That's not to say your rep immediately hits zero, but the weight of your flag is reduced. Get a lot of bad flags at garbage, and we won't even see your flags because they won't register any weight. Get a lot of good flags, and your flags carry more weight. You'll start ascending up from bronze, to silver, to gold, to deity. Deity can be achieved in as little as a month with hard work, I believe.

It kinda makes me sad in a way. The best source of flags is the audio portal, and I'm an audio mod. LOL.

Actually, EXP for the Audio Portal is in the works, I believe. People have been bugging @TomFulp about it for years. It will probably take a bit more redesign though, since the AP is WAY different from the Game/Movie portal.

This is actually the project Jim has been working on for a while now, when it goes live it will involve updating over 230 individual files so hopefully nothing explodes!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I'll spread the news until the time comes in that case.

Also, way off topic, but starting to really wish NG offered classes for all the stuff we do here, like programming, web design, content, etc. I've always wanted to help out, but never know where to start.

An "NG School" really would be cool but all of these different areas evolve so quickly that it becomes multiple full-time jobs to maintain current learning materials. I could at least link a lot more in the Wiki though... We try to keep it up-to-date with animation, game dev, music and art software but could probably be linking to more learning resources.

That's super petty. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish there.

:D That will make many people super happy (unless it explodes). Gonna file this away for the times I see people asking. I'm guessing that would be an all-portals shared voting, not just audio/flash.

In Need Of Another Audio Mod What should I look Out for?

If you want to help flag stolen songs, they're very common if you look through unscouted submissions.

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/browse/sort/date/artists/unscouted

Usually thefts are fairly obvious. Pay attention to the tracks already posted in this thread as well since the biggest chunk of thefts are from the same few artists and sources.

@Agmund, thanks for the assist!
