Well, www.nitrome.newgrounds.com IS taken. So this may be why he did it that way. Personally, I'd let it slide.

No way to I want that site YouTube to take over. There seems to not enough websites which have not been brought out by bigger companies, I really hope that does not happen here. I have seen artists like IllwillPress submit there stiff to YouTube months before its on here sad really. Anyway its great to see Idiot-Finder on here again excuse my rant.
Thanks.
Anyway after working in the portal for a long time I have seen thing I wish I could unsee. Thing is that there are crap flash that passed when it shouldn't have. Then there are some flash that are pretty decent but didn't make it pass judgement. When it happens, it makes you wonder if the voters knew what they're doing.
Also it doesn't help that a lot to times, the authors would sometimes put commentaries that would ironically betray their flash.
I have seen some that are good but the author would post commentaries such as "It's my first time, please go easy", "PLEEZ DONT BLAMMZ!" or "VOTE 5 PLZ!"
With comments like these, naturally the voters will assume the flash sucked and you know what happened.
And for the crap that passes, on days like Clock Day I don't mind but on other days the users will see that the author have submitted couple that passes and when that happens, the though would go "Hey he had some flash that passed, he must've done something right!" and automatically vote 5.
It never gets easier.
Granted in some cases the voters are in a hurry...

I'm planning to keep my eye on him for a time being.
If he submits a flash by nitrome that is already in newgrounds, then something's up.

Yeah the name is taken which means he's the true owner and creator of the game so it is stolen.
Ohhh, didn't see that.
Well, I flagged it. I should have done a bit more research I suppose, running on zero hours of sleep, so I am a little slow.

He's probably busy, although it is better to contact Wade about stolen flash.
I know I'm not a member here, but whenever I find stolen stuff I tend to report it here or the NGPD or both.
I think someone should look through Invest's flash. Something seems fishy.
Aye, stolen and unsuitable flashes from the guy:

I flagged it yesterday, but it passed anyway, so I reported it to an admin. Should be deleted later on, but there's nothing else that can be done for now. Let's try to get the other two out of the portal.

Absolutely! Users like yourself, or YoungAndWise or TheGreatOne, who are truly contributing to the good of Newgrounds by tracking down stolen and/or inappropriate flashes, posting them here and then following up on them are always welcome! We may be called "The Elite Guard", but we are not exclusive when it comes to getting help and good sense from users like you.
Even though you are not a member (yet?) of the Elite Guard, you are showing the maturity and support of what we expect from our members. Generally speaking, users like you guys who keep lending a helping hand and lead by example are the ones who get admitted (barring any obvious issues that may get in the way ... but that's not too common).
Anyway, as long as it's helpful and presented in a respectful manner, you are always welcome to post here and show your support. Keep up the good work!

I would join, but I tend to be quite busy with The Interviewer and other projects. However whenever I come across a stolen flash submission then I report it either to here, the NGPD, or both, because I know immediate action will be taken and it will be on the appropriate levels.

Generally, to my understanding, members of both the NGPD and EGB are encouraged to lurk both threads for information on stolen flashes, so posting a link in either thread would work. Posting in both isn't necessary.

Posting in both isn't allowed. I use to post stolen submissions in both all the time, but then Mal said if it continued the NGPD thread would be locked so I stopped doing it. I don't think it would be a problem if you replied to a few post whenever you post it in both threads, but you shouldn't post the stolen submission alone in both threads.

I think this is one of those cases where you have to look at the email address to get a good idea. If you look at his profile it point to the website rathergood.com. We can assume that if the submitter has an email address that is rathergood.com related it will be the original author for sure.
If the email is from a generic email server, it doesn't necessarily mean it isn't the original author. This one needs more investigating. Perhaps getting in contact with the people at rathergood.com might be a good idea.
Bryan hope you get in. I have to wait since my whistle is normal.

I have noticed that on maybe two of the days of the top five that a certain group called the Soup Squad I think stole the awards for Today's Best http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1266 974
I know its a little late it got removed, but I did not even really know this spam group too
well.http://rayn0rrr.newgrounds.com/news /post/619909
I think this account got hacked worth keeping an eye on.
Archer I'm a good shot!

It isn't by the soup squad, it's just a group of people trying to give the soup squad a bad name. The submissions were removed because of it giving them a bad name The Soup Squad isn't a bad group... In fact, one of the members of the Soup Squad is in the EGB, and another is in the NGPD.
If the submission doesn't have this account credited, it's not officially by the Soup Squad.

Does this count as stolen? Its obviously not his, most of this looks likes its taken from the sonic the hedgehog tv series. The rest well just seem to be random snippet's. what do you guys think?

Thanks for you help, I'm a bit rusty with flagging. I haven't been around in so long i sorta lost my touch with these things. Is it me or is the portal really slow? I'm pretty sure the portal did a lot more the 60 something submissions a day... Maybe it's the lack of all the spam crews submitting tons of crap all day long.

If you PM Tom or Wade in a few hours they'll probably bring your whistle back up to normal, due to recent events.
Canas, a review moderator, was "hacked" so a lot of reviews were marked as not abusive whether or not they actually were.
OMG I was online when it happened I didn't even think of asking. Also I could be sly and say I had silver. But I won't.
