Sure, you just have to find where it came from and then it's flaggable as stolen. If you find where it's from post the link in this thread so we can flag it as well and get it off of the portal sooner.

And yet another one manages to get to pass judgement. So we must be extra vigilant in our attempts to stomp out the stolen arts that are in the portal. But as Byte said it will be difficult with everybody mass voting on everything but we shall find a way.

I've forwarded it to Wade, as it's blatantly not this user's work.

Sorry I missed it, it passed. Is it just me or are the number of stolen submissions through the roof? It must be everyone's christmas spirit.

MarysongChina has 3 games, 2 of which don't mention his username anywhere in the credits / flash details. I'm saying the first one is stolen, since DigYourOwnGrave's submissions all have the same intro logo / credits.

Upon further investigation, I think this is the right assumption. I just hope DigYourOwnGrave's submission is not flagged and deleted until we know for sure who the real author is.

I don't think it will be. Stolen version has already been blammed and the original seems to be doing fine but still UJ.
People have no shame, stealing a game still under judgement. Can you get any dumber than that?

This is obviously stolen from some popular anime. I don't which, because I don't watch anime, but it's fairly obvious.

Already whistled and seems the creator (Konashion) has an empty Newgrounds account that links to that blog as well (could be faked, but since it's empty I doubt it). So there's that.

I'm glad to see how quickly the stolen flashes are being deleted now if people stopped stealing that would be great. I leveled up the other day and did not even realize it, I'm now close to getting to my favorite level 39 the chainsaw but that is not till march. Really liking Fallout 3 now and want to get Fallout New Vegas in the new year.
Archer I'm a good shot!
Sorry for the double post, but it seems I forgot the link.
Stolen exactly from this source.
Merry Christmas.
My apologies, gentlemen, but there's another theft in the portal:
I know for a FACT that I've seen this before. Took me about ten minutes of digging, but I found it:
Unsuitable Submission

A game by the original Meet n Fuck author. What a nice thing to steal.

Hey Coop, we have a problem right now... (I think...)
(It's not upposed to be backseat modding. Just expressing what I tought when I saw it.) :)
So, getting closer to 2011, and getting far from the computer... All those Christmas and travelling stuff make me stop entering NG, and consequently, make me farther to the next B/P level.
So, how's everybody's end of year?? Merry Christmas to you guys!! Tomorrow's my dad's birthday, and we're doing a great party to cellebrate! Yeah!
Unpublished Submission
Obviously a Namco Game, Also stolen from Neave.com, the creator of the website adapted the game for flash, and created a legal notice. The username of the poster here does not match the creator of the website. There are few differences between the version on Neave.com and the one linked.
Copy and pasta from NGPD
Feel free to check more into it, but I'm fairly sure about this one.

Yeah that was hilarious but, truly stupid how everyone stole it.
Original is from some anime (obviously), an online swf of it is available

Wow, ripping something from a bloody anime, that's retarded even by average NG thief standards.

Seriously, I didn't understand what happened. I just remeber when I watched the movie. I think Zone-Sama did it, am I right??
So, you guys are saying people posted the same movie after it was deleted?? lol, sorry if I'm being idiot, I just wanna know what happened.
Also, today is my father's birthday!! Yeah! Also, we're more and more closer to Christmas (and to the classes here in Brazil too...) !! :| hate school.
So, what are you expecting for this end of year??

I swear, we REALLY need some portal mods here. Or at least a better whistle system for flashes. I mean, it probably won't even be dealt with once I PM Wade either, since I'm not a mod or well-known flash artist (or any other type of person who'd stand out in the list of PMs Wade gets).

Totally agree, Wade gets way too much PM's per day, from dumb-asses trying to get an answer and from mods and important people he cares about. I think he never read my PM's, and that's he ONLY way we can get those submissions out of nthe portal when they have already out of judgement.
We should have Portal Mods SERIOUSLY.

It's nothing to do with PMing Wade - I have his IM and I get through to him there. If you want me to pass stuff on that is through judgement, let me know and I can pass it on to him.
The flash in question was removed :)

Yes, it has become far too easy nowadays to acquire a .swf or .fla off the net and want to just dump it onto the Portal, as if we're some kind of generic file hosting service. I would rather have the whole thing shut down than let the rest of the place fall into such a mess and let the integrity of our Portal be reduced to that state. I hope the admins give out a wide shout-out to promote not just original content, but new rules and restrictions, as well as punishments for failing to adhere to the standards that are meant to keep the Portal a stable ecosystem.
The fact that submitting such things is a violation of the portal guidelines is also very disappointing - perhaps the rules should be posted not just in the submission page, but in the judgment phase of a flash, so viewers are more educated on what is acceptable and what is not. This is because I feel many users don't know what's okay and what isn't, as the whistle guidelines are quite vague.

I outlined something like this a while ago, but looking back at it, I don't think it will happen or that it will be necessary. The Portal mods itself through users - users who have been given the responsibility to use discriminate judgment upon all movies within the portal to ensure its health and upkeep. It has worked for a long time, but after the troubles in the past year, it seems that users are more cautious, yet being the statwhores that they are, they still have to vote on things - this results in the erroneous practice of 'blind voting', and why we sometimes see stolen or otherwise outright garbage getting through.
The system we have now may have been acceptable in 2000, when there were less users and generally harsher critics, but the system today is antiquated and further stagnated now that other media social sharing sites have been reduced to a scale of quality that is either "like" or not. Newgrounds has always had a standard of quality, a voting scale that is fair and promotes an active and vigilant community of Flash enthusiasts and authors. This standard of quality is blemished by ignorant users who only care about their B/P because it will give them more power to misuse for their own needs - as if leveling up here is some kind of game.
However, Portal Mods are not necessary despite the Portal being in an unruly state in recent times. Aside from its users, only admins can mod the Portal, having the power to remove anything they see unfit - check the obituaries from the this week and tell me what you see. The NGPD, DoD, and EGB are the closest thing the Portal has to actual moderators, as we have a sense of duty and determined community of individuals who care about the kinds of things that go through the Portal. If we are dissatisfied with the current state, then we must be doing a bad job.
We should recruit more members across Newgrounds' Flash Portal security branches, as membership is dwindling and too small to tackle such a large task of maintaining the integrity of the Flash Portal. Things look dire, but not impossible to amend with the proper amount of service. The Fulps may be the owners of the site and are now family men with such responsibilities to maintain, but I don't think there is any reason that a few regular user such ourselves and the other security branches shouldn't be able to dedicate to the task of keeping Tom's 'first baby' (the Flash Portal) healthy.
Our criteria is to be tough, but fair. Recent times may call for us to be more vigilant than some are comfortable with, but that is what comes with the responsibility of wearing the badge here.
Take care of yourself.
