Sorry that I haven't been around. My DSL filter broke and I was without internet for the past few days. Thankfully it's now been replaced and I can continue to download porn and deposit experience (sob, missed even more days).

Good to see the Barracks can run smoothly in my absence, and congrats to Coop on becoming a Review Mod. The abusers of Newgrounds may now commence pissing themselves.

Good evening.

I was wondering whether I could join the EGB. I would like to be an active member in this club, much like I was with the NGPD.

As a member of the NGPD and a friend of Lizzardis, I have to commend his activities. He puts effort into his posts, has found quite a few stolen or abusive Flashes and is generally a great guy. I'd be very surprised if he did not pass inspection, but I feel that I need to mention his great work in the NGPD, that he will almost undoubtedly continue in the barracks.

Sorry for the delay. Since you're a NGPD alumnus, I'll spare you the huge Code of Conduct post, since the principles of the EGB are virtually identical to those of the Police Department. Just stand by for a day or two while the Barracks discusses and votes on your admittance.

Barracks members can go to the appropriate thread for discussion. Remember that you must be logged in to view/vote, and speak now or forever hold your peace.

Ok, i've got an serious question, why this guy keep reincarnation no matter how many times wade delete his account(not to mention we have to mass voting zero at his flash, i just don't understand) even the well known spammer like princess launcherela and duck division has giving up on spamming newgrounds, but chris beer is totally different, he will back from the hell, again and again.

Because he can. That's all the reason some morons need. Sooner or later he'll get bored and grow up and maybe even find a girlfriend who will stay with him for all of three days before having sex with his best friend. Until then, just continue voting fairly and reporting any rulebreaking flashes.

Simple: this guy is an attention-whore who feels superior when he's trashing people and acting out his fantasies of control and anger. He'll keep making alts until Wade or Tom start banning the IPs that his accounts seem to originate from. But if he's using a school or work computer, or hijacking someone else's wireless, that may affect another valid user. That, however, would be dealt with if it did happen - probably not, though.

He obviously has many issues besides the need to spam Newgrounds with his filth and opinions. At times, I feel sorry for him and hope one day he grows up. That will mean he'll have to stop playing WOW when he's not on Newgrounds, get a job, move out of his mother's basement, bathe on a regular basis, and pretty much get a life. Hopefully, he'll do this before he turns 40.

But sooner or I later I think a few IP bans will keep him at bay - just my opinion, though.

In the meantime, the EGB will continue to fight the good fight, and try to keep voting fairly and blow the whistle on truly offensive flashes and reviews - not as a "blam gang", but as a keeper of the peace. Those that show no respect will, by their own actions, eventually be removed by a mod or the Fulps themselves. We are not vigilantes here - we are guards. Elite Guards.

I know some people said this already, but his an attention whore. That's the only thing he wants. For some reason (that I can't understand), he thinks it's funny to annoy other people, because that's gets him attention (even if it's negative).

But yeah, I hope that some day he'll grow up and realize how stupid he was.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2009-04-11 22:41:46


TailsPrower hello there what a surprise to see you posting here but hello and welcome. I seen your club and was sorry I never joined before I hit private. I know that Chris Beer is annoying but I just vote fairly then move on. He is honestly not worth getting upset about unless he breaks the rules which he has. He will give up hopefully. Want to thanks all the mods for posting on my thread no one else had made a thread on Coop83 being a mod so I made the first. Also Rig got made a BBS mod he was a audio mod before. I voted on Lizzardis. Noticed that the daily second was deleted along with the author account.

Now I have linked before but this guy got 10 flashes which seem to be from other sites I don't think they are his I'm not sure.

Stolen maybe from

On the subject of why people spam.. it really isn't for attention at all like you guys are talking about. It's not really for a stat on their page like some may think either. It's not because they have a sucky life or they are immature or any of that stuff.

It's because they find it funny when people get pissed off about spam because in all reality it doesn't really hurt anyone or make their life any worse, but yet people prove they have no real life by getting upset about things over the internet and their just bringing this out in people.

That's why I don't let it bother me and I just vote/review honestly. It doesn't make me mad or anything because it's not actually having any effect on me whatsoever in the real world. And that's the only world that matters.

Also, in other news I've noticed that today I've been on newgrounds for 5 years exactly. Here's to another five years. Signed up when I was 15. Who thought I would be here into my 20's. O.o

It could be any of those reasons. Although this is an extreme analogy, pinning a specific reason for someone to spam is like pinning a specific reason for someone to go on a killing rampage. It could be 1 reason, it could be a combination, and each person's reasons are different.

Also, in other news I've noticed that today I've been on newgrounds for 5 years exactly. Here's to another five years. Signed up when I was 15. Who thought I would be here into my 20's. O.o

Nice, congrats! Not many last for 5 years around here, nor do they go much into their 20's. You should be oddly proud that you've accomplished that. I'm still working on my 4th year here.

Well, you just contradicted yourself nicely there, Corky. Seeing people getting pissed off about the spam that they created is a form of gaining attention - so he's a reactionary. I'll persist in deleting the abusive reviews for his flash the same as anyone else's and if people break the rules in the right way, they will find themselves banned.

People can whine at me all they like - a guy complained this morning that he got seven days, despite the flash he reviewed about being stolen. I calmly pointed out that since everyone had been saying this was stolen, a short ban was necessary to tell people not to say this. If they have an issue, raise it to the admins. Wade deleted the spammer's account in question.

I see where you guys are coming from, but it's just very hard to almost impossible for me to see how someone would want attention over something that isn't real life. The human being naturally likes to make other people mad just to see their reaction and it has nothing to do with getting attention. How does making someone mad when they have no clue who you really are bringing attention to yourself? It's not real no matter how you look at it. Doesn't matter too much though because we all see it in the same way in the long run, just in different words.

I see attention as hey look at me. You guys see attention as that plus overt actions that actually never bring any real attention to yourself? Hm, I just don't see how it's possible. I guess I just see things in real life and not the internet so much. Like attention on the internet would be something that sirtom did or someone bragging about real life events, but never making someone mad just because it's funny.

When we play a practical joke, which most spam is, are we trying to get attention or are we just trying to make a joke at someone, fool them, anger them to a point, etc.. ?

I personally find it funny when people get mad over spam too. Someone makes a Tankman parody just to make tankman fanboys get upset, but is it for attention? Sounds the same as a practical joke to me.

Also, nice job on the bans Coop. The only ban I ever complained about was my perma ban from reviewing and apparently it was a good complaint as I found out that I didn't actually break any rules and Wade lifted it for me. :) They have no room to complain now as they are clearly breaking rules.

Wait....What did you vote on me for exactly? To become part of this club or to become a BBS mod? Because it sounded much like you voted on me to become a BBS mod.

When someone applies to join the EGB (e.g. you) the current users get to vote whether they want the person to join or not. We usually do this in a thread in our private forums. Phantomlassuk voted in that thread.

Anyway it was about time someone made a thread about Coop's modding. He will be a great mod. He is a review mod for the time being isn't he?

Yeah, though we all know that he'll end up being a BBS mod.

I'd say he can't complain. He broke a rule, he got banned, I'd say it's fine. Someone may think you were too hard because you banned him instead of just deleting the review, but if people break the same rule constantly, they need to get at least a short ban so they learn to respect it.

It may be just one reason, maybe several, I don't know. But anyway when you "play a practical joke" I think you still want attention, maybe unconsciously. After all, even if you just want people to laugh at it, they have to pay attention at you first.

Maybe we just need to get a psychologist to analyze this guys :/

Sorry I meant I voted for you to be part of this club and I was also say congrats to Coop83 on becoming a review mod. Sorry my wording can be confusing. So five years I guess I was older when I joined on this account I was like 21 so lots older then the average user.

5 years? Wow. You just spent 25% of your life somehow wrapped up in NewGrounds! I'm nearing my 3rd year, and it hasn't really affected me at all...well, maybe it has, but probably for the better. Anyways, glad you've been here for 5 - hope the next 5 (or 10 or 50) do well by you! :)

Got a major problem here I think this may be stolen despite him saying he has got permission the trouble is that its got daily fourth place!

Original

http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix #comments

As you can see it is the same game!

Now on his profile he even admits to hacking games although it could be bullshit

http://alpha-critik.newgrounds.com/

I don't understand why he would admit it?. Now I don't know for sure he says he has got permission but where is the proof of that? another submission of his.

You were obviously on the right course as the author changed the name to deleteme something and broke the flash on purpose. He also gives credit to the original author. Props to you!

Good work it was already under admin review. Congrats to Lizzardis on becoming a new EGB member hope your time will be as good as the other club maybe it will be more active here. Anyway big drama going on in the BBS Sanjay has been demodded this happened hours ago. I will link to the thread over 12 pages http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1049 792. If you read it makes more sense odd seeing him without the gold aura. Sad but its kinda hard to tell who was in the wrong. Anyway did anyone find that the site crashed for a while?

Just saved a great flash, for once my timing doesn't sucked

Also, if Chris Beer's a 007 villian, how long do you think he would last in a movie

I believe he'd be killed off in the pre-intro scene, the one after the gunbarrel but before the music begins.

I think he would be one of thoes guys who never seem to die and just keep comming back time after time. Such as jason, though he is not a villian he is just like him because all of his submissions are scarry and not tastefull.

I believe he'd be killed off in the pre-intro scene, the one after the gunbarrel but before the music begins.

Wish he would just give it up. i want to see how meny accounts he has successfully gotten deleted, i'm sure it is at least 10. He deservers to die in a hole and live with jason and become his new mother.

As I've probably mentioned before (not here, but on someone's userpage and in a few PMs), I'm waiting to see it. Especially the lit Portal. I can't draw, I can't make Flash or Audio, but one thing I can do is write (to some extent).
