This is true, but lone-flagging submissions also doesn't create any more clutter for the admins to deal with as long as not enough other people lone flag it in order to get it taken down. I think that the main thing having it take so much flags (in addition to garbage whistle having no weight) is so that spam groups cannot just spend the day mass-flagging new submissions in the portal in order to temporarily cause the portal to a halt.

Oh, by the way, I forgot why I had come here. In the portal now is a... rather clearly stolen game from the same account that had two stolen submissions removed yesterday. What I actually find funny is that this particular flash port of Tetris is well known enough to have its own Wikipedia page.

Reason:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_Onli ne_Japan - As stated, this game is fairly well known and was first released in 2007 - it's also in a different language to the same author's account, and he submitted two (now deleted) stolen flashes yesterday).

And it passed. I think it's a dead giveaway because all of his games are just blatant uploads and he even says "my best upload" instead of "my best flash" on one -- notice the difference. He doesn't claim it to be his flash.
It doesn't look like he has talent, either. He just seems to be an account to upload stolen flash.

Which all pass.

Hopefully it won't pass.

Voted 0 and flagged.

The same person has more, even on another account (uploading the same games he stole yesterday, as somebody pointed out):

I sent him a... polite request asking him to read the Flash guidelines. If they're not manually removed by him after having done so I'll report the passed ones to Tom and ensure that they are one way or another.

Hey guys, remember me? :P I have nothing to do today, no videos to watch on youtube, so, I decided to drop by to say hello , just to remember the good 'ol days here. I'm so fucking busy, going to High School this year, studying a LOT of English, and focusing in my future, I wish I could go back and be as active as I was last year, but, as I said million times later, I'm too busy, next year, gonna move to other city here in Brazil, and, who knows, travel to the USA, to meet new people, and to finish High School... It'd be awesome.

Thanks for all the support y'all gave me, I really miss the days when I was part of the Barracks, it was so fun and cool... But, gotta go now, just posting here to say hello, and to remember all you guys. :D

Oh, btw, happy 2012, hope we don't die!

It didn't pass judgement anyway, I don't think any flash that use an offensive title pass judgement, or none that I have seen.

Usually flashes with offensive titles are crap and don't pass because they're a half-baked attempt at making something, or end up getting flagged. Oh well, either way they get blammed :P

Do you get blam points if you vote 0-1 on a submission that had been removed by the admins, but not flagged initially? I.e it was deleted by tom/wade after it had passed judgement?

No - on one of Tom's Friday night movie marathon sessions, he deleted a flash that I'd voted 0 on while it was Under Judgement, that very morning and my Blams counter didn't flick over.

If you vote 0 or 1 and the piece gets whistled down, to be destroyed, you will get a blam, as it still counts as Under Judgement.

Hope that clears things up.

Patience, young padawan. The voting process is not complete yet. You haven't heard from me because no decision has been made yet. As far as your off-site account is concerned, that is not activated until such time that you officially are accepted into the barracks.

A decision will be made shortly. Until then, just keep fighting the good fight .

Not part of the club but this one is clearly stolen and broken.

• Unsuitable Submission

  This submission contains age-rated material and requires an account to view.

This guy has to be one of the worse theives I have ever seen. He even admits it isn't his in his own author's comments. I believe his stupidity warrents this one.

Hello RogerBK I remember you and its great to see you back on here, and you are always a cool member of the club. 2012 The Mayans predicted the end of the world hope its not true! I don't blame you for the crying face LittleWashu, the thief even admitting it in his comments. Still not the first time it has happened wont be the last. His got two other stolen games which have passed.

ATTENTION ALL BARRACKS MEMBERS!

Please join me in congratulating our ever-omniscient leader, EGSC Coop, on breaking the 100,000 B/P mark! What's even more amazing is that almost 29% of those points are pure, unadulterated BLAMS!

Thank you, oh great leader, for doing such fine work for such along time. You've set a high bar that we all should strive to reach - a perfect example of "leadership by example"

Three cheers for Coop - Huzzah!!! Huzzah!!!! Huzzah!!!!

I saw those and not only voted to blam, but blew my whistle in the process. However, unlike the third one which got marked the first two didn't. Also in just about all my posts as of late I use the crying face as it is my favorite. As for the other two why don't you just send an email to wade or tom about it as it is all any of us can do.

I did sent a PM to Tom Fulp a about it that account looks very suspect.

Congrats Coop on reaching 100k B/P points.

Other than that, I don't think I have anything to add or say now, I've been pretty busy recently to do much, it'll probably show, lol. Anyway, redesign soon!

I looked at it and looked for the game of the same name, though there was no Union City 2 : The Other Side. It's been blammed now, so we all win!

I'm thinking it's time for me to start contributing to NG in a positive way again. I really want to get my blam and whistle points up while working on my whistle. Can I have my old spot in the barracks back?

I searched too and I found nothing, seems like a fileswapped loader, especially since 240 KB loads in around 25 seconds on my internet connection; it took 10 minutes to load just 3 quarters for me, which I highly suspected. Plus, the user KillYourselfSlowly has been submitting suspect flashes ever since creation.

Agreed.

Hey, ZJ (aka PuddinN64) glad to see you back in the Barracks. I reviewed your roster status, and since you were marked inactive by request and took leave in good standing, all I need to do is get the approval from Senior command (Coop, Eagle, etc). Once they give me the thumbs up, you'll be marked active and on duty.

In the meantime, please keep in touch in this thread, and keep fighting the good fight. Hopefully I'll have an answer real soon!

It's the least I can do. I want to get to 30k Blams, but that's a while away just yet. The fight is a good one and one I intend to carry on with.

I don't see a problem with that at all.

Good afternoon, Barracks. Apologies for having been away for the past few days, a few personal issues arose and I was fairly busy, not giving me as much time for Newgrounds as I would have liked, however I am back. I probably won't be back in the portal for another few days yet, butchering my monthly gain (which was already quite far behind already), but I'm planning on getting back onto the BBS from now on.
