Okay, everyone, settle down - THAT IS AN ORDER!

We are NOT in the business of making an opinion a fact just by voicing it. Nor do we ever attack another Newgrounds user without clear and obvious evidence to our findings.

Dream-of-Duke, I can appreciate your frustration with users like TooCool who seem to only get saves and no blams. However, unless you have definite proof that he votes 5 on everything, you are on the thin line between trying to help and making false accusations.

Some users only vote 2-5 on flashes they like, and rarely blam. Some try to blam, and get only a few blam points. I tend to be generous to borderline flashes, but I do blam the obvious crud and blank screens and everything else that clearly does not belong here. My B/P ratio has suffered, but I still try to do the right thing.

You can't come in here and demand that we take action against another user. That is not our place. I strongly recommend to ALL members - and to ALL THAT POST HERE - that if you have a personal complaint against any other user, you keep it to PMs and private e-mails. We do not want to start a flame war, or risk having this thread shut down because of it degrading to a witch hunt. We need to stay professional here, and keep our cool (no pun intended) even when we are frustrated.

If Wade or Tom felt that this user was abusing the system, they would have closed his account by now. I am sure they are more than aware of his voting behavior, and for what ever their reasons, choose to let it continue. I've seen them shut down bots before (like icean) and lock out accounts when they felt it was necessary.

So, for the sake of professionalism, courtesy and leading by example, let's all stick to the facts, and not make our fight against fighting bad flashes a personal one. Yes, be as helpful as you can - but do it with grace.

That is all.

This is coming from the same person that got kicked out of the Barracks because of his voting habits. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Even if your evidence did in fact point to him being the one that saved it (which it doesn't), what exactly do you plan on doing about it? Bringing it up here does not solve anything. All it has done is state that someone saved the Flash when it should have not been saved in your opinion.

Personally, I don't feel it necessary for you to cry wolf in here about every instance of savewhoring that you come across. It certainly isn't telling us something we didn't know. TooCool100 has not made it a secret that he only saves movies. So frankly, we've accomplished nothing.

Let's not forget that you were dishonorably discharged, DoD. One of the main reasons for it was your voting habits, which you declared to be against what the Barracks stands for. You stated you would not change your voting habits back then, and since your whole focus on Newgrounds is still statwhoring, I don't believe your voting habits have changed now. If I were you, I'd worry about how you vote, not how others vote.

If you have a serious reason for posting here, DoD, I'm all ears. Otherwise, I ask you to refrain from doing so. Thanks.

Wow, Coop, byte and Eagle c-c-c-Combo! :P

I think that there's something good in the air today - sure, I've lost a lot of Saves by voting 0 on marginal flash, but I've passed 10 Blams by 8pm on a Saturday?! It just doesn't happen, I tell ye!

Okay, getting out of bed nice and early, to help my Grandad, because of a fall wasn't all a bad thing, I guess.

Probably never.

There are many people who use the internet so naturally there will be a good number of those who would do just that (stealing).

And there are some who'll never learn.

Stolen flash/video:

Original link:

!WARNING! NSFW !WARNING!

Original author: anonymous

Date submitted: September 12, 2008

Had to get my hands dirty to dig this one out. It's a pretty viral 'video' which has gotten 5 million hits in the site. Plus, the date submission was 3 years ago so I doubt that this guy created the actual 'video'. Also, he's relatively new to NG and his profile pic/newspost just tells us everything about him
Obvious troll.

So I claim this one stolen guys.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2011-04-23 18:19:27


Is this even on the grounds for being stolen? It's just that lame llama gif with some weird song from the Audio Portal.

I suspect I'll see this in the obituaries soon, but...

Thanks for the welcome!

I can't wait to check out the EGB site (once I'm approved) and take a look at the EGB's history and happenings, this is just as exciting as when I checked out the NGPD's private forums for the first time (oh the nostalgia). On a sidenote: I'm finally finished with my second semester of college (my brain is so sore from studying for finals) so I'll probably just be hanging out with friends/family this week until I go back to work, this won't really affect my activity that much (assuming I don't party too hard lmao), so I'll still have time to make stolen/malicious flash reports (no worries). Thanks for the opportunity to join the team :D

I look forward to working with y'all

Patrolling the portal has been more satisfying than frustrating lately. There are some submissions that pass that puzzle me but it looks like your call to action has had a good effect.

Well it looks like I won't be the only new recruit around here. Albiet i'll still be the least experienced as I never worked in the NGPD. It'll be interesting to see where the road will take me in this establishment. In the mean time i'll be getting a feel for how things are run around here.

Taking some time out from studying and homework... Whew, finals next week are gonna kill me, and I'm still worried about whether or not I'll pass Spanish.

Pretty decent day in the Portal? A few blams here and there, some Madness mods which were pretty crappy to say the least, but you can't blam all the crap.

Anyway, welcome to the EGB, BigMike and Sixflab! You made it! It's a pleasure to see new members. You'll fit in soon enough. Good to see ya.

Well, that's the most blams I've had in a single day this year - 18 in all and I hope for more of the same today.

Indeed it does - I'm trying to pass 4 users who are less active than me in the next three weeks and I might even get close to them over the next day or two.

Stolen flash:

Original link:

Awesome Face Song

Original author: Mancannonb1 (YT)

Date submitted: September 3, 2010

This guy claims that this is his first ever flash, well I beg to differ. This video was posted over a year ago in YouTube and there isn't anything that can tell us that he's the same guy who uploaded the original video. No contacts, no websites, nothing.

Also if you look at his profile you'll see that he posted the same video in his newspost which tells us that this guy must really like this song enough to post it here in Newgrounds. Dumb move pal.

So yeah, this one's stolen.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2011-04-24 20:21:37


Congrats to BigMike and Sixflab welcome to the EGB hope you will like it here always great to see new faces here. It funny with the portal and clay animations seems a few have popped up one yesterday ,won an award and there is one on the front page maybe its making a comeback? On the portal makes me think of the new game out Portal 2 never played any them looks cool. I like the look of the second game. Bioshock Infinite due how I think next year looks wicked.


Archer I'm a good shot!

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2011-04-25 05:27:46


Alright, I'm going to put an APB out on this numpty:

We're against stolen images being made into a third rate "quiz", right? Well, he's done it again, so let's just nuke one of them and get him banned from the portal for a short while, shall we?

The dimensions are all wrong; the name of the submitting account doesn't match with that of the games site it's come from; the e-mail used to make the author's account is Russian while the games site is a .com domain... you get the idea.

Excellent News Everyone

It appears Vegeta40's days of making bullshit quizzes and spamming stolen hentai picshave ended! I sent about a one page pm to the admin. team regarding this user's questionable activity (providing links to his image thefts) and it looks like the admin team has decided that this user's days of flooding the Portal with shit are finally over. Alas our portal is free of one less idiot, I only hope that this will perhaps serve as a lesson to some users that "Spamming Stolen content of any kind will not be tolerated on Newgrounds".

Looks like it's time for me to get back to patrolling the portal, c ya ;)

Great news! It seems that the Portal is in good shape today. I had fun with a few of the games, but most importantly, stuff is getting blammed just like it should.

Case in point: Fake preloader which said VOTE 5 FOR PROTECT POINTS. It was a static image (yes, I waited for it to fill the fake loading bar) or a clock on some guy's lawn. If you read the author's comments, I'm sure you can get a cheap laugh.

Oh how I love the obituaries.

Also, I have a strange feeling we haven't seen the last of our friend Vegeta40.

Don't be so sure. He's already created a Marle alt account again. This being his second time being banned from the portal it was bound to happen. I'm not sure if this is flaggable though.

Nah, I wouldn't flag 'em, since they'll be deleted before Wade even gets to the flag-pile anyway.

Speaking of which: Baleeted again, but he'll be back. They always come back. He'll likely keep coming back for at least a month, if not longer.

Yep, I agree with SheizenHammer.

I would only report his submissions to the admin team if they pass judgment again. On a related note: I found that some of the images this guy takes can be linked back to a site called [Link is NSFW] "Hentai.ms" (this "image thief" was dumb enough to steal pictures with different author signatures on them as well lol). I was pretty surprised that he created a new alt. so quickly, but hopefully he has learned his lesson this time (if not I'm sure more bans and account deletions will teach him eventually).

Okay. But all I get is a blank screen after I click the "play" triangle. Clearly blammable - but whistle worthy? hmmm.....
