Everyone is entitled to a chance.

Jeez, get a little sleep and suddenly you're out of a job!

Actually, I did see Yamor's request, and I did review his recent posts and reviews. I was on the fence on whether to put it to a vote or not, so my plan was to PM EagleRock and see what he thought.

But you guys just went ahead anyway....thanks...

Do me a favor - next time, give me a little time to respond before you jump in and take over, ok?

What does General have to do with anything? It is possible to make quality posts in every forum, including General. It doesn't matter WHERE you post, as long as your posts are decent! For example, look at Sacarab's posts. His post quality is above average, yet he spends most of his time in the General forum.

Exactly, deal with your own posts and make them acceptable, before lambasting anyone else's. Thus concludes Ismael's lesson for the day.

It's not a matter of inconvenience; its a situation where your enthusiasm got ahead of you. I can appreciate the fact that you were trying to be helpful. As the Recruitment Officer, it's my duty to respond to these requests, and if I have any issues, take them up to EagleRock. Now, if I hadn't replied in 24 hours, then by all means, jump on in and go for it. In this case, I had some things I wanted to discuss with Eagle prior to responding, but your well-meaning response kind of cut me off.

I'm not trying to start any trouble here - I just want to point out that the handling of new recruits and their requests falls on my shoulders first, and as a matter of protocol, I should be given a little time to respond before someone else does. That's all. But again, I don't fault you for your enthusiasm - and if I hadn't answered in a day, by all means, I'm glad someone was backing me up.

So, we'll just take this as point of clarity, and then move on - no harm, no foul.

I think you are a bit confused as to what an officer position means. Obviously I need to make it clear at this point. I will not continue to tolerate the abrasiveness that's been going around in this thread. Officers are supposed to help one another and support each other, not to bicker and chastise.

From the very beginning, I created officer positions for one reason and one reason only: to provide recognition for those members that were helping fulfill a role in this club. Phantom, for example, had his hand in multiple groups and was well-known on Newgrounds at the time, so he became the Relations Officer. Major-punk took it upon himself to create our roster, so he became the Records Officer. SlashFirestorm was very helpful to prospective members and assisted me with the recruitment process, so he became the Recruitment Officer. That's how it works. It's transparent, and it has worked very well for almost 5 years.

Never were these officer positions meant to be a position of power to flaunt. EVER. In fact, the only power given by these positions are those that are absolutely necessary. It's necessary to have an executive chain of command, for example, to make a decision on behalf of the Barracks if the time comes. Prime examples of this are when problems arise and mods come a-knockin' asking for immediate answers. Additionally, our recruitment process has, out of necessity, become more and more stringent, and therefore requires a process to be followed to make sure every member is vetted and will not damage the reputation of our club. Other than those two specific roles of power, the rest of my officer roles are to recognize what people are doing. Every single member is important to this club, officer or not. Those that become officers are those that rise to the call of duty and leave their mark on this club for the better.

So, let me make this abundantly clear: berating prospective members of this club and going around saying "That's my job" is not why you are an officer. You are an officer because when it comes to dealing with flagging reviews and flash around here, you are quite skilled at it. However, that does not mean that others cannot do the same. Just because you are an officer doesn't mean Lizz cannot help anyone anymore. Last I checked, the entire Barracks was supposed to be helpful with this type of thing. I'd never fault anyone for good intentions.

For example, puddinN64 started the recruitment process a bit early, and Byte was a bit upset because she had concerns she needed to address to me first. In the end, I was well aware of the situation and it worked out anyway. However, I wouldn't be upset at puddin for trying to help...after all, that's how most officers got their roles anyway, including Byte. The only reason the recruitment process is so stoic anyway is out of necessity, not desire. Either way, trying to help the process along is something that I consider trying to help. Yelling at someone about their choice of forum on this site and telling them they are not allowed to join when you have no place in doing so is another.

I really don't have much more time to deal with this matter right now, as I'm quite busy today. Either way, any form of argument in this thread ends now. If you want to continue discussing it, you are free to do so in our private forums. We don't need to make a spectacle here on the thread over it. But take a little bit of time to think it over and calm down. In the entire history of the Barracks (that I'm aware of, anyway), never have we had officers arguing over shit like this right on the thread, and it's not going to start now.

This guy's breaking just about every rule available: failure to use constructive criticism, personal attacks on the author, ALL CAPS, spamming, mentioning Blamming, etc. I've kept an eye on him for a while, and about five of his reviews have already been removed, but it's enough already.

Just a quick FYI - failure to use constructive criticism is not a bannable offence. People can be advised that their reviews are not being very helpful, but we'll generally only remove the reviews if there are lots of them all doing the same along these lines.

Now, now, boys - I know it's hot and miserable, and it's making everybody cranky. It looks like it's time to sit back, take a deep breath and relax. Yes, even the heat made me a bit edgy, but I got over it - as we all should.

This whole issue can be summed up in one word: testosterone. Yup. That little chemical that makes young men think with the wrong head. Summer is here, the pressure of school is out, and all of you guys begin to focus more on yourself - you work out more, eat better, look better - all to attract the fairer gender. However, this comes with a price - it makes you all macho fools, and very territorial.

So, when someone does something that "crosses your boundary", you get offended - "how dare they do that to me?". Ah, to be young and foolish again! You see, it's not really your fault - blame Nature and the "Testy" twins.

You all just need a nice, cold shower, and then some cookies with a cold drink to wash it down - it'll make you all calm down, think clearer, and feel better all around.

So, lets play nice now, kids - or Uncle Eagle and Uncle Coop will open up a six-pack of whoopass juice, and some of you won't be allowed in this sandbox anymore...and that would make Auntie Byte very sad indeed. Now, you don't want me sad, do you? I didn't think so...

Actually, I got bored enough to go find the pages over which he had his final warnings, his trial, and was discharged (pages 651 to 655, to be exact), and it was apparently for trying to instigate a mass-vote, not statwhoring (though, given all the criticisms levelled at him in those pages, I can imagine B/Ping just for points being among the list of things he was previously warned for). Makes you think about just how damn patient our "beloved leader" (lol) is, huh?

Y'all are right, I was just getting in over my head. I really am sorry about that. I guess the main reason I said that is because I guess I'm feeling like I'm not getting the recognition to which I am entitled. I actively look for abusive reviews and give them to everyone and when someone has a question about whistles, reviews, etc. no one seems to point that person in my direction. :( It makes me feel a bit left out.

Again, that's my rationale behind my actions. And I am incredibly ashamed of myself for starting this "bitch-fest" please forgive me.

Nah, you're not being left you. That's why you're the officer and Lizz is not. If you were being left out, Lizz would be the PV Officer and you'd be scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush.

Apology accepted. Everyone can have an off day, after all. Just try not to make a habit of it. :-)

You have no idea how patient I was with that moron. I knew he was a nice guy, but he was a thorn in our side for the longest time. One reason in particular was that he was a very abrasive user that consistently pissed everyone off on Newgrounds. Also, he was very pompous and didn't help our reputation at all. The fact that he tried to institute mass-voting in the EGB and disagreed with our policies basically sealed the deal for him. Even after I gave him a chance to plead for himself he slapped me in the face again...

For those of you still curious about DoD, check out pages 657 and 658. In particular, note his "grandiose idea" on page 657 for the "EGB Revolution." On page 658 he gets my wrath. Now, to qualify my wrath, because I am a royal asshole there:

1) At the time, I was working a shitty help-desk job getting paid half of what I should have
2) The day was particularly tough and I got home late due to other co-workers' screw-ups
3) This is RIGHT after he was dishonorably discharged.

Phantom was none-too-pleased, either. He sure had a way with words sometimes. :-) Ahh, the memories...

Fair enough, my friend. I think we can end this all here and now with this apology, and get back to business as usual. No sense in beating this to death anymore.

However, I do think the last few pages do bring to bear some common issues: if we are to function as a group more effectively, we should:

(1) all be aware of what roles we perform in the EGB,

(2) try to be respectful of those roles, and let members do their assigned tasks when possible and

(3) not take it personally if someone occasionally does someone else's job in an attempt to be helpful.

Generally, we're all pretty good about working together as a team, but every once in a while we'll need a little pep talk and a reminder. Just a minor adjustment.

Okay, enough of the psycho-babble! We've wasted too much time on this already!

Soldiers, get your rifles, get your heads in the game, and go defend that portal - that's the ONLY thing you all really need to worry about today!

I wasn't paying much attention to the portal when it happened, but from what I gather it was fileswapped after winning daily first. As you can see, it's gone now (along with the author).

There's little point reporting fileswaps here, since there's nothing anyone besides an admin can do about it. I don't think there's any specific rule saying you can't notify the barracks of fileswaps (it's actually kinda good for keeping tabs on malicious users anyway), but PMing Wade or Tom is your best bet whenever it happens.

While I wouldn't give myself that distinction today (too insane), I still try. Still, when I see myself pissed off and posting like it in the EGB, it annoys me.

Now THAT is wasted opportunities. :-) Either way, you're here now, enjoying the site today. That's what's important, and that's what counts. :-)

Anyway, before I go out to mow the lawn, let me annouce that the EGB has deliberated, and has decided to welcome Yamor to our ranks! I have notified him via PM, and he will undoubtedly come back soon to reply. Make sure to give him a nice warm welcome! And Byte, keep the '82 beater van OUT of the initiation this time, will you?

Welcome to the Barracks, Yamor! I'm glad to see so much enthusiasm and encouragement in just one post. The next thing you need to do is PM EagleRock and ask him about setting you up on the BBS. Once you have your account, why not go into the "Barracks Recruitment Desk" forum, and start a new thread introducing yourself? Tell us a little about yourself (NO personal info please, like phone #'s, addresses, your bank account and pin, etc.) and we'll answer back there so you'll learn a little about all of us as well.

One thing to remember is this: if you have ANY questions, or are unsure what to do about a post or review, please feel free to PM ANYONE in the EGB. We are all here to help eachother out. If you read the Officer List on the BBS, you'll get a better idea who to contact when you have a question, but in the end, we're all on the same team here.

That being said, get yourself settled in and grab some chow at the mess - you'll be busy protecting the portal sooner than you know.

*Salutes*

Oh, yeah....one more thing...there's this little "welcoming" ritual we have for new recruits. You'll find out soon enough.....hehehehehe...... By the way, what kind of cookies do you like, and do you have any allergies to dairy products?

Hello Yamor welcome to EGB cool to see you onboard! I love The Robot Day theme I could not quite work out why there was a Robot Day though any idea anyone? I did not get much bp but I may well check out the pages for the Robot movies and games. Off topic I have got a perforated eardrum which means I have a hole in my eardrum, I don't know how I got it but it may be because of a ear infection.

Remember, you can ask whatever the hell you like in a PM, regardless of the rules about posting things here. PMs are private, so posting rules don't apply to them after all. You can ask about reviews via PMs, and as long as the discussion doesn't spill out into the thread, it's all good. :)

This ritual sounds ominous... well, besides that. Cookies, you say! Hmmm, I suppose I like all kinds. Just surprise me with whatever you pick out.

Pretty soon you will learn to cringe in fear whenever Byte starts mentioning her sordid "rituals". I swear, that woman is BOUND to have at least one piece of S&M clothing hidden somewhere in her house! >_<

Also, welcome! :P

Hey there again. I'd like to say that I've finally registered at the forums, so now I'm an official member once again!

Topics that are under discussion (so I won't need to quote everyone) :

- That ''AddictingGames23'' account is really suspicious indeed. Why would they have two accounts on Newgrounds? And why are the games so badly cropped, with a questionable quality?

- Robot day was nice, although it had less than I expected. MindChamber was organising it, yet he didn't submit anything! I thought he would show us how much he loves his robots yesterday...

- As for flagging submissions, I usually only flag them when I ''stumble'' upon them. Like in the flash portal, for example. I try checking the new submissions after they pass, mainly the spammy ones, where you can usually find a couple of abusive reviews.

- byteslinger, may I have a cookie as well? :P

*salutes*

I thought there was a message from AddictingGames confirming that that account was a fake, or did I just imagine that?

XD I had to work all of yesterday and today; I can't believe I missed the whole thing! Quick, show me your all-time favorite portal submissions from yesterday and today!

I do the same thing really. I just lurk in the passed judgment zone for any submissions that have a lowered score. Back in the day, I would write a motivational review for the ones under judgment to inspire the author if the flash gets blammed. Now, I just flag the abusive ones that put em' down and move on...

I don't think I've ever saluted in this place before lol :3

Look at all the places it has been for years.

I concur - that's where it's "officially" hosted, so it's a case of in for a penny, in for a pound.

That's largely circumstantial evidence. Just because you don't have a 46x46 icon doesn't mean you're not legit. Your username is no clue either, as there is plenty of scope here for different names. Your own name could have been taken, thus not giving you the chance to use it.

I was on my way to report it, but you were about 10 minutes too quick for me :P

HAHAHAHAHA!! Well, that makes things a lot simpler.

Not quite the response I was expecting, but it'll certainly do. Thanks Tom!
