Meh; the two accounts it's registered on will probably be sent down the tubes shortly anyway (for various assorted cocksuckery, including this), and even if they don't, they more than l;ikely belong to bored kids on the end of their summer holidays. I can't see activity on either lasting very long.

And while at the current moment I don't think I could be a active around here but hey it could happen in the next couple of weeks or so, ya never know lol.

Good work there I did not see the flagged video thank god sounds horrible why submit stuff like that. Nice to see people wanting to join. I'm think of getting the game Borderlands looks cool from the look of the game play like Fallout. Looks fun and the graphics looks good, and it's getting a sequel too. Vegeta got his flashes removed thanks god.

Possibly, though one would hope that any and all of the people associated with this club would be ethical enough not to do so, and in any case these things have a habit of being found out eventually.

Also, hi guys :P

We're a group that tries to do the right thing. We don't go around going "hey, you've got a lot of points this month, you were just points whoring", we would actually brooch the subject in a mature fashion, as I did with byte and Jolly a few updates ago, since their paces were both pretty fast and they gained most of the available points.

If you wish to draw our attention to someone in the organisation who you think warrants an investigation, PM an officer, we'll deal with it.

Yes, that's true. I do collect more points than most, and Coop was within his rights to question my motives and understand how that came to pass. I am in a unique situation where I am an independent computer consultant, single and a night-owl - so, not only am I up 18+ hours a day - I spend most of it online doing work. With the help of Portal Guard, I can monitor new entries into the portal, and at convenient intervals I switch over to the Firefox window browsing the Newgrounds site, review the new under-judgment flashes, and vote accordingly. I don't have much of a social life- and I do spend a lot of time in front of the computer.

I also tended to previously be a bit more generous on the borderline flashes, so I would get a higher amount of saves than blams. But it seems everyone else in Newgrounds was being over-generous as well. So, a few weeks ago, after Coop's inquiry, I decided to be much more critical of these borderline flashes, and blam more of them - especially the cookie-cutter ones, or any that really aren't up to par. I had to raise the bar, both in my voting habits and what I expect should pass here in Newgrounds.

I blam about 20-30 a day now - but last week, I only scored 40 blams. That means out of about 180 blam votes, I only hit 22% - the other 78% passed!! That is sad, indeed. My overall protects have gone down as well, but I don't care - it isn't about the points, its about doing the right thing.

So, yes, if someone here looks like they're heading in the wrong direction, there will be an inquiry. No one is above the rules.

And to Coop - thanks for the kick in the butt - I needed it!

Hey guys, this is a really, really shitty rip-off of Incident: 01A by Krinkels. All they did was add music to the original flash. Be careful, it's pretty harsh on the ears.

### OFFICIAL BARRACKS MEMORANDUM ###
TO: ALL MEMBERS OF THE ELITE GUARD

FROM: EGSC BYTESLINGER, RECRUITMENT OFFICER

DATE: 10-SEP-2011

SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF NGFAN14 TO THE BARRACKS
I am pleased to announce that ngfan14 has been accepted unanimously as the newest member of the Elite Guard Barracks. Let's welcome her as we do all new recruits and make her feel right at home.

On a personal note, I am glad to see another female join the ranks. We may be Elite, but we're not exclusive. I think that brings the count to 5 active females (LittleRena, phantomlassuk, BenwaHakubi, myself and now ngfan14)

Thank you all for your time and input during the vote and the discussions. They are always greatly appreciated.

As you were....

Sorry, I don't mean to be annoying or seem impatient or anything, but I think my application was accidently skipped over.
However, I will use my chance to say what speaks for me :
I think my Deity whistle speaks for me, I still flag abusive reviews and stolen flashes ever day, and I also posted about such stolen content from time to time in this thread or in the NGPD thread.
My posts- I know that my posts from the past are not good and expect that to be the biggest barrier for me joining anytime soon, but I lately improved a lot. Requesting a post wipe-out is no option, the forums are my favourite place here and I want to look some day through the posts, that I made as young member. Since english is a foreign language, it is quite difficult for me to make them good, but I think that my last posts are fairly decent. In the end, it is all about improvement, and I have the will and passion to improve further.
My reviews- I had 194 - very bad ones, for that matter. I saw no chance to make up for that, so I requested a review wipe-out, to have the possibility for a new start. So far, I wrote 8 decent reviews, I think.
So, that is everything that I want to say. Please consider my request to apply, I will be thankful, no matter what the outcoume will be, since I will then improve further, until I am good enough.

My apologies - this post was at the end of the page, and I inadvertently skipped it as I was reading the latest posts. Nothing personal - just an oversight. Thanks for the reminder - and the supporting details for your request.

You are indeed qualified to request permission to join the Barracks - however, there are a few things you'll need to read and understand before we start, 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 few days once a quorum of members have responded.

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 rollcalls 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.
