The second one, the "fuggin" flash, is guaranteed abusive for being a resubmission.

Both of them are abusive since they are an non-interactive porn slideshow. The resubmission part is redundant in this case.

I got 2 deity whistles to blow on it, so it should be gone soon.

This is exactly why I gave up on the NGPD; because of partly-incorrect explanations

That resubmissions aren't abusive? I don't recall saying that non-interactive porn slideshows weren't abusive either.

Anyways...

Got ourselves another dirty one:

This one threatens the viewer that the author's going to track you down and slit your throat if you don't vote 5. Falls under the "Malicious" category methinks. What do you guys think?

You COULD report it as begging for high votes (as said in the FAQ it's not allowed) as that's probably most appropriate.

Malicious is eh... more like it messes with your computer like running scripts. Death threats fits more among the lines of unsuitable, but the begging for high votes fits best under unsuitable... or just add both reasons in there.

I just voted 0 on it. I'll blow it later.

I love the banner but I agree that this years Clock Day feels a bit of a letdown compared to others years. Where is the mass flashes. I have seen lots but it seems slower then last year I love Clocks. I have only been at the portal for maybe a hour, this morning and this evening but the amount being submitted seems very low. I see no news post either I don't think my b/p will match last year 60. I do admire people who can sit all day on the portal I wish I had that much stamina. Still hopefully it will pick up.


Archer I'm a good shot!

Welcome! I'm Supreme Commander ByteSlinger, the Recruitment Officer of the Elite Guard Barracks. After a cursory review of your profile and posts, you seem to be a decent candidate for the Elite Guard. There are a few things you'll need to read and understand before you join, but don't worry - I'll be guiding you through the recruitment process. Here's how it works:

First, I will present you with the shortened code of conduct for the Barracks, along with links to the relevant FAQ's on our forums. You must read them, understand them, and post here again confirming that you accept those principles. A simple "yes, I agree" will be sufficient. This process serves two purposes:

1) Ensuring that you're not a "drive-by applicant" who asks to join and then never comes back, and

2) Ensuring that you know how we operate so there won't be any complications in the future, such as "wait, we're not supposed to be mass voting?".

After you agree to the code of conduct, the Barracks community will discuss your qualifications and decide whether to allow you into the group. Our requirements aren't too strict; beyond the main qualifications of 2500+ B/P and a Bronze Whistle or better, we'll be looking for sufficient post quality (low number of one-liners, intelligent posts that contribute to the topic), helpful reviews, any potentially problematic flashes, stuff like that. After discussion and a vote, I'll make the final call and PM you with the results. Assuming that no objections are raised, the process usually takes a day or two.

Here is our abbreviated Code of Conduct. Read it, learn it, and post again with confirmation of your understanding. If you can't abide by these principles, say so.

*****

1. Voting fairly.

This is the foundation of the Elite Guard Barracks. All members are expected to give every flash a fair vote, regardless of who made it or what their group affiliations are. We do not target any flash group, not favorably or in opposition; our only enemies are those who break the rules of the site, not those who merely bend them.

Everyone has a different definition of quality, and all members are expected to vote based on what they honestly feel a flash deserves, not on whether they think the flash will pass or be blammed. While Barracks members are proud of their high ranks, and are eager to compete with others, a high B/P score means nothing if achieved through petty point-whore voting, and any member who admits to doing so will be removed from the organization.

2. Stopping Portal abuse.

Numerous stolen, malicious, and unsuitable flash are submitted to the Flash Portal every day, and it is our job to ensure that as many of them are removed as possible. Members are expected to report any suspicious flash to the Barracks, including any evidence or doubts that they might have, and only whistle something if they are sure, beyond a reasonable doubt, that it is whistle-worthy.

Just as with B/P, points mean nothing if achieved through inappropriate means. There should be no blind rush to whistle a flash that is merely suspected of wrongdoing; it's better to let an uncertain case go by rather than wrongly whistle an innocent submission. If evidence of wrongdoing is discovered after a flash passes judgment, we can always (and will always) inform Wade of our findings.

In the case of a beyond-reasonable-doubt rulebreaking flash, members are encouraged to share their results with the Newgrounds Police Department and the Newgrounds Department of Defense.

3. Cleaning up the review system.

Members are expected to be familiar with the review guidelines and whistle abusive reviews when they come across them, and report severe cases of abuse to a review mod. Additionally, members are expected to write helpful reviews, offering constructive criticism and remaining civil even when the author refuses to do so. We must set a good example for other Newgrounders, in hopes that they will improve their own reviews as well.

4. Setting an example for others to follow.

Barracks members are expected to post intelligently, contributing to threads rather than merely dropping a one-liner opinion on it. Flaming, spamming, and other ban-worthy behavior is strictly prohibited, and extreme misbehavior will lead to removal from the EGB.

Members are also expected to act civilly towards all Newgrounders. You are expected to be helpful and patient when dealing with newer members, whether simply showing them the FAQ or explaining more complex concepts that they do not understand. Concepts such as fair voting, intelligent posting/reviewing, and keeping an open mind are essential for newer members to learn, and we are just the ones to teach them.

For those with more experience, you are expected to show respect and understand that they may, in fact, know more about Newgrounds than you do, even if you're a seasoned veteran. This applies both to fellow Barracks members and Newgrounders in the general population.

Members are expected to put reasonable effort into any flash or audio submissions, and be careful with who they become Portal Buddies with. We are quite generous with our definition of reasonable effort; examples of unacceptable submissions would be static images, single frames, ridiculously small loops, or purposefully bad music. Anyone submitting rulebreaking content would, obviously, be removed from the Barracks and reported to Wade.

5. Not starting shit.

As mentioned above, the Barracks has no enemies beyond those who break the rules of the site. Our roster has included current and former members of various flash groups, including the Clock Crew, Barney Bunch, and Kitty Krew, and we are open to anyone willing to follow our principles. Barracks members are expected to be civil to others and not start fights, and anyone found to be starting shit with anyone, even if they deserve it, will be removed. You are representing the Barracks with your actions, and if your actions do not reflect our principles, you will not be a part of the organization.

6. Remaining active with the group.

Barracks members are expected to remain reasonably active in the thread, as well as with their duties. Those who are inactive for long periods (months) may be removed from the roster at any time, and rollcalls are occasionally sent out to all members to determine who is active. Members who expect to be inactive for some time due to IRL reasons (such as school, employment, vacation, etc) should inform the Barracks in advance.

So, just let me know, and we'll get you started! And, please, for the love of GOD, do NOT quote this entire thing! :-)

Greetings again, Elite Guards. Here's an abuse report that I made for the NGPD and thought I should present it to you as well. As always, the choice is yours.

Resubmission Alert!

Submission:

Eulogy:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/545221No alterations whatsoever were done upon the preceding flash to justify a resubmission. The author's comment kinda reinforces the charge.

Being one of those half assed one-frame flash, you may feel that it isn't significant enough to be worth the admin's time. In that case do with it as you will.

I'm not. I visit the BBS daily, and am a current member of two other clubs.

2) Ensuring that you know how we operate so there won't be any complications in the future, such as "wait, we're not supposed to be mass voting?".

I know that, it won't happen. My days of prejudiced anti-spam movements ended over a year ago. No more secret anti-spam societies. I will admit to belonging to one, though we never made any moves on any group, we just shared the common interest of hating spam. I understand the risks of admitting to this and am willing to accept them, as well as apologize for them. It was a stupid mistake. I am sorry to inform you that no, I cannot and will not say who I was with. However, I can guarantee you that I will take place in no such act from here on out. As I said before, I haven't done anything similar to this in a year.

I understand if because of this I am unable to join the group. It was an honor to have been considered.

1. Voting fairly.

Is Clock Day an acception to that rule? Because if not, I guess I'm out lol. But other than that, I always vote fairly.

2. Stopping Portal abuse.
Numerous stolen, malicious, and unsuitable flash are submitted to the Flash Portal every day, and it is our job to ensure that as many of them are removed as possible.

Understood. I almost never whistle flashes, anyway, I got my Gold Whistle primarily from reviews. It's almost a shame how fast I got it, you'd think reviewers would be more mature.

3. Cleaning up the review system.

I don't review too often, but I always put effort into my reviews. The last time I was banned was for two days as an experiment (I asked a Moderator to find a review that was deletable and ban me) to see if M-Bot still sent people PM's if they were banned from reviewing. He does : P

As I stated above, I always whistle offensive reviews, but leave them alone if I'm not certain that they're breaking the rules.

4. Setting an example for others to follow.

Understood. I will try my best to improve my post quality. I will throw out the occasional one-liner though. Some threads just can't be responded to intelligently. I'll try to stay away from those, though, obviously.

Members are also expected to act civilly towards all Newgrounders. You are expected to be helpful and patient when dealing with newer members, whether simply showing them the FAQ or explaining more complex concepts that they do not understand. Concepts such as fair voting, intelligent posting/reviewing, and keeping an open mind are essential for newer members to learn, and we are just the ones to teach them. For those with more experience, you are expected to show respect and understand that they may, in fact, know more about Newgrounds than you do, even if you're a seasoned veteran. This applies both to fellow Barracks members and Newgrounders in the general population.

Understood. I always try my best to show new users around the site, unless it's a shitty gimmick account or a troll trying to make a 'funny' thread.

Members are expected to put reasonable effort into any flash or audio submissions, and be careful with who they become Portal Buddies with. We are quite generous with our definition of reasonable effort; examples of unacceptable submissions would be static images, single frames, ridiculously small loops, or purposefully bad music. Anyone submitting rulebreaking content would, obviously, be removed from the Barracks and reported to Wade.

I am not Portal Buddies with anyone that would compromise my reputation. However, I will be wary of any invitations I accept. At the moment, however, I have only four portal buddies, very close friends.

5. Not starting shit.

As a matter of fact, I find some of the Kitty Krew's flashes to be utterly hilarious. I am usually skeptical of a few crews' flashes, and usually expect the worse, but always give them the benefit of the doubt and vote fairly. I will not start fights or flame wars with other crews or crew members.

6. Remaining active with the group.

Got it. How often are rollcalls sent out? Also, I'll be relatively inactive during week days, and will only be able to post here once or twice, but during the weekends I'm practically on Newgrounds nonstop, so that won't be a problem unless I go on a vacation, something that only happens once or twice a year.

In addition to the above, please examine the following materials.

I'll be sure to read those.

So, just let me know, and we'll get you started! And, please, for the love of GOD, do NOT quote this entire thing! :-)

How do YOU know? You didn't see the old flash (I did though).

AND:

Score at death: 2.43/5.00 means he deleted it himself.

Being one of those half assed one-frame flash, you may feel that it isn't significant enough to be worth the admin's time. In that case do with it as you will.

He deleted the old flash and resubmitted it (it wasn't blammed). We (myself, him and 2 other users) chatted about it in a private chat and he wanted to try and get better reviews and a better score (which he did since the old one had an abusive review and the portal wasn't active). Plus he added an easter egg to it this time (you probably didn't find it).

The idiot comment about the resubmission is because he accidentally submitted it in the wrong time (11 AM EST) when literally nobody was on the portal. Since later that night (8 PM EST) the portal was extremely busy he decided to delete the old one and resubmit it with an easter egg to see if he gets more reviews/higher score. He still got 2 reviews, but 0 abusive reviews.

And I know all of this because I'm his best friend and we see each other in the chat each day (we witnessed our flashes passing through the portal and kept vote counts each minute). I also have control of his account for his EXP deposits (and no I won't remove that flash for your sake). You can send him a PM and you'll get a (harsh) reply back from me.

Like another user said (quoted below) the flash is indeed fine.

Here's a recap of my past several chapters. This took place back when Coop83 and NEVR still played a huge role in some of the chapters. It also happens to be the beginning of the transitional period where the story would eventually move from 51+ thread to the blog (it became illegal in that thread later that year unfortunately).

There's also a short retelling what went on at the Clock Day party despite being less prolific than last year's.

I'm sure he at least reads them but doesn't have time to respond to all of them. He probably doesn't think stuff like this is all that important.

By the way, and this comment is directed at anyone and everyone, has it been decided on whether or not I'm in the crew or not?
