Stolen Flash Alert!
It's obviously just a clip from an anime.
Description:
"Source is Tokyo Taxi, in case you're wondering ;). I'm new to the .swf format; if there are problems with the above up-load, don't hesitate to contact me ;)"
Stolen game.
I believe the original game's name is called 'Copter' he just changed the title.

My reasoning for that flash (posted in NGPD)
"At the top it says "Copyright seethru.co.uk"
The title and description aren't written very well (Looks like they were written by an 8 year old)
Description:
"this is a good game leave a comment!"
He also says "This is a good game" which makes it even more suspicious. Usually the author wouldn't same something like that.
His email address is at: yahoo.com
Shouldn't it be at yahoo.co.uk?
Looking at his art.. It's quite terrible, and doesn't match the quality of the flash submission. In fact, I'm 99% sure one piece of his art is stolen. (Tineye chose now, of all times, to be down)
While making this post, he submitted another flash submission."
Here's the flash I referred to.

Yes, I agree that there was still some shred of good in that thread, but it deserved to die, let all of Newgrounds be overrun with the cancer of the whistle whores.
They I was a whistle whore at a time too. Though I doubt in my case I was one of the ones giving mods trouble like.

So now all we can do is flag abusive reviews on our own and if you are serious about it send a PM to a review mod to bring the abusive reviews to their attention.If you've got a deity or gold whistle, it will automatically come to our attention in due course. No need to bring it to our attention, unless it's a really bad case of a serial review spammer or something.
I see this is good to know. I will keep that fresh in mind.

Sure, there's a time limit on how long it should be between a review being submitted and when you can ban the writer, but I've never seen anything about a time limit on flash reviews being called abusive.At 1/20/11 03:37 PM, LittleWashu wrote: First there is now a time limit on reviews before you have to leave them alone.I'm pretty positive that's not true.
I have to ask if there isn't a time limit on reviews then I am wondering why when I would look through some whistle threads I would see review mods say they would take away whistle points if you flagged reviews that were past a certain date? It was because of this I almost completely stopped flagging abusive reviews since most of the reviews I would flag would be old ones people forgot.
At 1/20/11 11:59 PM, LittleWashu wrote: Last I heard it is less then six months maybe even shorter then that. This is because the Admins wanted the mods to focus on serving users who break the rules review bans. Also they figured that if the mods erased all the old reviews history would be lost.I've not heard that and I've just searched our little mod forum for it and everything. Flag away and we'll deal with them as we see fit.
Thanks for this info.
Another submission by the same guy that submitted 2 stolen submissions yesterday.
Original:
And this certainly looks stolen too. Did he rip the logo off of some site and submit it?

It was stolen from freeonlinegames.com. It is even within the game itself. seriously what is with all these people and their sad attempts to steal flash?

An original link would be helpful. Even if it's not on the FoG website for some reason.

People have been ripping from Fog.com for some time now. In the last few days especially I have seen eight flashed stolen from there. Most of the submissions have been from users signing up the same day they submit the flash. It really is pathetic to think they will get away with it considering the pre-loader even says "another game from fog.com". It would be nice if our criminal element here would at least make it challenging.
I apologize for the double post, but we have another stolen from FOG.

It's not hard, people. Especially when it's this obvious where they're coming from. >:(
Did Mudkip get deleted?
One comment on my news post is gone, and his post here are as well.

As far as I can tell he has been deleted. That is really strange to see. Must have been a solid reason, all traces of Mudkip as suddenly gone. I guess Tom dosn't like double posts in the EGB.
The old account is gone, but there's a new Mudkip account that was made today. Live and learn, I guess.
Also, looks like the Sonic Bowling thief had his flashes deleted.

I can't be bothered to find that stupid "The more you know" picture. I'll just use psychology and tell you that you are now picturing it in your head. There you go. :P

Well, it's probably best to not flag that, at the moment because I don't have a source and can't find one at the moment.

There's something very similar here, but it's not exactly the same.
Another Choco break clone.
Why don't people at the very least change the graphics up a bit? At least this person, unlike most of the others, renamed the flash. Not a very creative name, but at least it wasn't called "Choco Break"

What is even more sad is that people have seen this done so many times yet they still vote to protect it. I didn't get a chance to see it while it was UJ though otherwise it would have received a 0 and a flag.
I don't know if its still truth but in flagging reviews I thought it was like up to 3 months, because of it being up todate. I only think this from previous threads in the past I recall some moderators saying that but I may be wrong. But I tend to stick to newer reviews from like the front page. One of the links the author got deleted it is in today obituaries.

And yet, here is a moderator of reviews saying that there is no time limit...

Thanks for that info once again Coop. I may not have my old favorite thread anymore, but I am going see if I can give you review mods a work out.

I'll copy and paste my post from before.
Now that I've learned how submitting games on multiple sites works the chances are these ARE NOT stolen most of the time. The point being, FOG buys/sponsors the game under a license that allows the original user to submit it themselves. The deal is that the person still gets the ad revenue and owner ship of the game, but FOG gets the attention to their site because of their own personal ad.
Other sponsorships involve FOG buying the game straight out meaning they would own every right to it including the right to submit. A lot of flash artists don't like this because they can't submit their submission anywhere else and have no more chances to win ad revenue from them.
There is a major website that game makers can join where people upload their games to. You then click this distribute button and starting with the A's it takes you to a website that you can upload your game to so you get more views.
I was working my way through this so I could make a few extra bucks here and there to notice that newgrounds was one of the game websites. The thing is, it almost encourages people to sign up right there and then and even to use an email that they don't want people to know about on all of the sites.
This means you might be getting level 1 accounts that just signed up that day submitting flashes that have been around for years with a fake email giving the impression that it's stolen when really it's just someone like me trying to get a few extra thousand views here and there.
Not to try and make our jobs harder or anything, but that really shows you have to be 120 percent sure that it's stolen and simply because it's on another site and it's a new user doesn't mean it is. In fact, I'm sure more times than not it's someone just finding the site for the first time and deciding to get a burst of ad revenue from their game.
Haha take that spam! Not on my watch.
Congratulations! You just destroyed someone else's hard work! This Flash has been blammed.
Thanks for voting, BenwaHakubi! Your experience points have already been deposited for today - thanks for doing the overtime!
Your experience gave you a voting power of 6.92 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 24% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 8.58 votes!
Stolen?
This looks stolen, but the closest thing I can find is this seemingly endless preloader:
