It was roughly 58 abusive reviews. Still at a bronze whistle though, I should be closer to getting a silver with those 58 under my belt.

You would think, but they may find them abusive or not. And since there on span submission i do recal some mods saying that they may or may not count them. Though they will not give you any negative points. Since rages thread was locked i really don't flag all that much, if i see something abusive i might flag it. i tend to flag a few submissions that you guys post. Good luck though i remember even with checking rages thead several times a day it still took me 5-6 months to get a delity whistle. Good luck.

What else is new about those losers? I mean they submit stuff of merit, then when it inevitably passes, they friggin' swap it for something else.

On a separate note, have any of you realized that in the background of TANKMEN Johnny has the opening to

Metallica

's "One" playing?

Looks like those recent 4 spam flashes that got 30+ reviews deleted from them did indeed help.
And don't stop flagging now! Our whistles hold more weight, all the more reason to flag like crazy back when you had a bronze whistle. Know what I mean?

Mmmm... no, not quite the intro to One. Much too high quality, open that song again and compare. But.. would have been cool, would have been cool. :)

While I feel that just saying "Oh My Fucking God" is enough of a post considering how important and awesome this is, I'm writing a somewhat longer post so people would look at this and think it's a better post than it really is. But really, OMFG

The art portal is here:

I was blown away by the quality submissions submitted by already popular artists, it's great how the team have done things, I don't think it even need's polishing up.

I've already submitted two things to test it out.

Yeah, me too, there are already a lot of great submissions, and the portal is really active right now. With time things will calm down, but I just love seeing so many good stuff :)

I recommended you for the art portal :D

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2009-06-17 21:58:07


Alright, I made the newspost that I talked about earlier. It's simply a list of all low scoring/spam submissions that are submitted during the week so I can keep a close watch on them just in case something fishy happens like mass reviewing. Then I can contact a review mod with the information, etc..

So any help would be awesome. Please link to my userpage with spam submissions and potential submissions that could steal awards. We might not stop all of them, but everyone we stop is one less to worry about.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2009-06-17 22:00:23


That must suck Corky52 lots of awards stealing going on I hate it when it happens. I know about internet connections I'm really fucking pissed of with mine keeps losing the bloody signal! I have got Sky which is shit lately and I have been having trouble staying on the net at all. Dial up no wonder it takes you long it must be slow loading pages I have got broadband I think. Anyway The Art Portal looks cool have to check it out soon. Good job with links I too noticed the new spammer noticed his name sound like ZekeySpaceyLizzard.

Sorry for being away for so long, if you guys have missed me. I've been busting my balls to get a project that should have at the very least 3-4 weeks to plan in 2. My Eagle Project starts tomorrow, and then I'm off to Boy's State and Costa Rica.

Speaking of which, does anyone want to deposit for me? It'll be about 2 weeks worth.

What do you guys think of this one?

It's not explicitly unsuitable or malicious, but there is no seizure warning. Yeah, it sounds like a lame reason to bring it to everyone's attention, but I just want to be sure.

Gardevoir... Shoulda known. Speaking of which, reason I haven't been in so much is that I've been playing Pokémon Emerald. My first goal after the scene with Wally is always catching a Ralts of my own, and you'd be surprised how long that can take. And then catching and training enough Water and Grass types for Roxanne (usually takes me three of them, counting my Mudkip), and then, you have no idea how long it takes to switch that around and train Ralts and Taillow for Brawly, and by then... Well, by then I've forgotten that the Internet even exists, and it takes me a while to remember.

Now I get to hope that the lit portal will be their next objective...

YES. Just, yes. I really should get on my story (heroic quest stuff, because I'm a Zelda/LoTR geek), but I'm waiting to see if they actually make good on their promised Lit Portal.

along with Portal mods, since the spam problem is indeed getting out of control again. Things can't continue being allowed to go on this way.

Really? I've only been in the Portal a few times a week since my April-May hiatus, but I haven't seen that much spam, though more of it is being reported in here as potential fileswaps (Beer and company just don't seem have the ability that my old enemies did, to get shit to pass on its own rather than stealing and fileswapping). On the other hand, what seems to be getting out of hand is the rule-breaking shit. Just looking at the thread here, and I'm sure we don't catch all of them, but just taking a look and this place is filled with potential fileswaps, stealing, and that damn MyBrute shit. Though I guess I might not be active when the spammers are.

WHOOHOO!! ART PORTAL AHOY!!!! I was thinking there would be a button like the Flash and Audio portals have. I wonder why Tom didn't put one up. It would make things easier if you ask me. I'm also submitting something as we speak.

Thank God I didn't delete my Print Graphics stuff. That's the bulk of what I'm going to be submitting. I'm also going to submit some sigs to boot, any requests I'm willing to take. Course I got a shitload of other things to be working on for our flash.

damn I'm lazy about that, sorry guys. >_> Oh well, YAY ART PORTAL!

I know right.... Now i can submit something to newgrounds and actualy use some more of the features since i can make flash nor can i create audio. I don't think they were ready to launch it just yet, but someone found it and it's inundated with work. Now speaking of that i have submitted 11 things to the art portal. Can you guys review them since i only have 1 good review from our friend Corky.

I do have a question....Where is pudding i have alot of stuff i would like to help out with the story and such hand some helpful hints, but i pm'd him about 5 days ago and i still have not gotten a reply. I have some good ideas on where he can take this. And improve greatly on the prelude since it is only about a paragraphs lenghth.

This is probably the beta phase. I'm sure they'll include the button in the next (hopefully soon) redesign, which may (or may not) be launched with the literature portal. Besides, Tom hasn't made a news thread to announce the release of the portal yet.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2009-06-18 15:14:53


Dammit it all to fucking hell. Man, talk about a total letdown. All this anticipation and buildup only to have it deleted in 2 days. That is really screwed up.

Why Tom, WHY?! Hell hath no fury like an artist scorned. (Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned)

You know what surprises me? Tom has announced the portal yet despite it being up and running for two days. Considering people have been using it for 2 days, you'd think he would have made a newspost or something.

I'm going to end up reviewing all the art I can for the next month.

I would like to apply for the EGB.
My prerequisites are that I have a silver whistle and I have the Blam/Protect equivalent of the rank, Staff Sergeant. I have also affiliated with the NGDD, which is another crew which deals with Blam/Protecting, and locating abusive flash submissions.

My reviews are an ideal example of how a typical user's should be, and most of my posts are mature. However, every now and then I do tend to have a little fun ;)

Also, you do not need to feed me the copypasta, I've read it, and understand what the purpose of this club is, and what I must do to become a role model for other users.

Cheers!
