Good work on getting that flagged Rabid-Animals I mean honestly how stupid is stealing a well know flash on Newgrounds do these people never learn. Mastermind and many Zone-Sama flashes have been stolen easy to spot a Zone flash why do people do it I will never get it? I noticed on front page some older games are back Portal Defenders and Spewer.

What is it with people stealing nowadays?

Are they kleptomaniacs? It seemed that stealing flash movies/games are common.

They just attempt to feel like they are popular and like to pretend that they are the ones that create good flash because they have no flash skills themselves, but still want people to think that they are. I don't know why you say nowadays, since this has been going on for a while.

There's also stolen flashes from spam groups that are used for fileswapping. Stealing a flash that will be saved in the portal, so they can then fileswap with their crap.

Don't remind me, some of those fileswapping have mentally scarred me for life. These people need to get some help as far as I know.

What do you mean by they've scarred you for life lol?

They don't need to get help, they're just stupid kids who have nothing better to do and get kicks out of trolling people and getting reactions. The less you care or pay attention to them, the better.

Don't know if you were there but what happen is that sometimes they swap the files with gay porn. Granted they didn't get away with it for long but it pretty much tells you something.

Hello all.

I believe my time has come to apply to the EGB. I have the required B/P count and a sufficient whistle, and I have graduated from the NGPD.

Is there anything else required of me?
Thank you. *Salute*

Well, actually, yes. There's a little paperwork you'll need to look over.

With that being said, let me officially begin my entrance speech:
========================================
===============================
Greetings, Private! I am Supreme Commander ByteSlinger, the Recruitment Officer for the Elite Guard. You are indeed qualified to request permission to rejoin the Barracks - however, there are a few things you'll need to read and understand before you rejoin, 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, we'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 (or so)

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 roll calls 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.

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

The Barracks Manifesto
The Barracks FAQ

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

Possible

stolen flash:

It looks like the first comment was by spazkid claiming that it was his flash and was stolen. The picture looks like a legitimate pic of his own flash, but he didn't provide a link so I'm not really sure. It already passed judgment as well, so I'm not really sure about it.

Maybe someone else here knows?? I'm not reporting it to an admin because there just isn't enough proof here. That and some reputable NG regulars were co-authored as well...

I like the new halloween layout on the page it looks really freaky. Anyway changed there image icons on there homepage? I saw the thread and I changed my picture trouble is my old image is to damn big. I have tried to crop it but it looks crap. I had the same image since the redesign 3 years ago. I think I changed my picture a few time my current icon is the first one I used when the redesign happened. I like the crop the picture and the icon I wished I had not got rid of my old image If I had know it would not look the same.

If you look at his other two submissions, one looks legit but is really crappy, then the Ice Tower one looks like it comes from another website, and this one definitely does as well.

The author claims he has permission but since he can't even spell that right, I call bullshit.

Hold on a minute, don't whistle it just yet.
It says the original version is by shock-value on the intro screen, and it is different.
Go ahead and disregard this, I'm not so sure.
