If you have evidence that a flash was 0-bombed, then we report it.

Thing is, it's kind of hard to find evidence of such. But we can always try.

I generally try to get over it - it happens all the time with my audio. I have to live with that, because some people get butthurt, over one ban or another.

If it's a real problem and you can prove it, let me know and I'll see what I can say to Wade.

I'm really glad the message for when you deposit your experience points is back, makes it so much easier then checking you-re stats page. Only took a few weeks after the redesign to have it back, hopefully the whistle will come back for reporting stolen flashes. I like the way you can vote for UJ movies and games with the section showing. I brought a FPS game called Singularity and both Bioshock games.

I'm not sure if Tom is either reintegrating the whistle system or adding a "report abuse" button, akin to the one in the Art Portal (unrelated to your whistle). The truth of the matter is that, in either case, submissions will be dealt with by Flash Mods rather than only by the admins.

What do we do about mass-voting? I feel like I've missed a meeting XD. I know that as a rule the EGB is against mass-voting but the only real way to get it to a score that it deserves (that I can see) would be to mass-vote it fairly until it is done. Do we just report it to Tom or Wade like a stolen flash?

Yes, reporting is the policy. I've already reported this particular one to Wade, he just hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Does Tom have his Flash mods yet? Because for as much time as he's taking, the thieves don't stop.

No, no flash mods yet.

Reported both those stolen ones to Wade already. I'm guessing he's busy, I haven't gotten a reply yet, I'm sure he'll get around to it.

The Flash modding tools have not been implemented yet, but some Genre mods including me are tagging submissions that should be deleted with a "deletion" tag so that admins can easily spot them.

It was a pretty popular flash back in the days, it's been stolen several times at least here in Newgrounds and now it's deleted since the author here wasn't the real author of the flash.

It's not like I'm a perv or anything. ;)

Thanks Jolly! I agree with you that flagging should have been removed after flash mods were put in place, but oh well. I think we've managed so far. I know for a fact I've gotten Wade to remove at least a couple dozen flashes if not more in the last week. So don't worry, we're still being effective in protecting the portal.

Thanks for the Roster, Jolly.

Well done, indeed.

Congrats to all who made some significant milestones, especially our well-loved local over-achiever mod, Coop, who crashed past 101K points. Way to go, boss!

And for those who didn't hear, we have a new member who joined last month - SFC BrokenDeck. Welcome aboard!

Sorry, but I was tied up doing a boatload of reprogramming to get everything back on track after the redesign. That including reworking the interface to NG Logs, the EGB and the NGPD stat sites - and, yes, a new version of Portal Guard. I had built a prototype for myself a few months ago, when the stirrings of the redesign became very real. Now that it's here, the older version of Portal Guard may not work right - but my Beta version (PG3) does. It's not finished yet, but it will work for you. SpiffyMasta is one of the beta testers, and based on his feedback, I'm going to let others have access to it and get their ideas.

You can download the BETA here: Portal Guard 3 Beta.

All I ask is that you read the FAQ first. It will tell you how to install it, what warnings you may get at installation, how to use it - and how to tweak it. Right now, you canmanually change some runtime parameters by changing the configuration file (PGV3.INI) - the next release will have a built-in quick editor to make things simpler.

Remember, the Portal Guard does NOT vote for you - it just keeps track of all new submissions under judgment and lets you know when new entries show up. This way, you can be working on other things, and let this program notify you when you need to turn your attention back to the portal.

Oh, and as for knocking me out of the top 5 - yes, February was a low month for me, but my 906 still was almost 180 points higher than # 6 (Cootie with 727). I'm not worried. I'm just doing my job, and last month, that meant a lot more time programming and less time banging at the portal.

Thanks again for the roster, Jolly - see you all at the front lines!

I'm still the top Corporal and it's a very short jump to Sergeant. Hopefully by next months roster I should have overtaken Afro-Mann. Has anybody else noticed how we currently don't have any members below the Corporal rank? Makes me feel like I'm closer to the bottom of the list.

That's what I'm aiming for. We shall see who gets it. Good luck.

There's a slight error in the Roster as of March, and that being with the B/P count list. If I were Coop, I'd not be very happy at the fact that I have only 01,742 B/P displayed on the list, instead of 101,742.

Oh well, doesn't seem too bad a problem -- wonder why I bother about these minor details meself :P

Same happened to me. I opened it with WINRAR, and tried to install it. That worked but there is one file missing, it demands a PGV2.ini and crashes afterwards.

Great to to see the Barracks Roster for March and I have also just got to level 43 with the new icon. I'm not sure what it is meant to be looks, like a ghost but apart from that I'm confused about what it supposed to be. Weird not having the old level 43 icon I miss that, I never got to see the old level 43 icon before the redesign.

Sorry about that - seems that the Installer package generator that I'm using gets it's panties in a bunch because I'm compiling it under Windows 7 Pro 64bit - and it screws up some dlls.

However - I did figure out a way to make it work - it's more of a manual installation process, but it seems to be a lot more stable. Please check back at the beta site, read the changes in the FAQ, and download the revised program and support modules. Hopefully, this will work a bit better for you than before.

Thanks for the help - look forward to hearing how it went.

Thanks, it works now!

Also, byteslinger, would it be viable if you added a "minimize to system tray" function to the Portal Guard? I don't really like the application just sitting there, taking up space on the desktop bar, it'd be much niftier instead if you could allow the application to minimize to a tiny icon in the system tray.

Also, would it be good if there was a right-click option for each flash, maybe with the context menu option saying "I have already voted on this" and when enabled, the entry becomes gray, and when Portal Guard updates the next time, it excludes that entry?

*salutes*

Hey guys. I'm pretty sure I've been removed as I haven't posted in more than a year, but I think I might be getting on new grounds a little bit more than before so I figured I'd see what I've been missing. How have you guys been doing?
