That's probably it. They don't know how to write in English because they don't know English. I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority, if not all, of those shovelware sites are probably from somewhere in Latin America or Asia and probably run everything through google translate or something.

The dumb thing is, even when we do get our whistles back, there won't be enough people flagging them and they'll still pass anyway. I can see a scouting tree applied to the Flash portal, if this keeps up. It's the only way to reliably keep crap like this out of the portal (short of flash mods, but that's probably a long way off yet, if it'll ever actually happen). : /

I know I've seen this before (at least a couple years ago) and I'm pretty sure "Manfred Gomez" isn't Adam Wardle.

Is the flash considered stolen if it's not their music? Because I know the authors of this song (not personally) and it's NOT this guy.

It's a bit of a grey area, as far as I'm aware. Did they give the original creator of the track credit at any point like in the description? I can't speak spanish so couldn't tell.

This seems a little of topic for the EGB and I'm not too sure if this is the place for this but I can across an art piece that I have a feeling is stolen:
http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/thefkinmofo/partially-nude-lightning-ff?context=ratings :etm.scouted:.unscouted:1.allow_banned:1.offset:6I basically have no evidence of this other then the fact that this artist has one other piece uploaded and it's nowhere near this level of artwork, if I'm wrong then good for him he managed to go from the "yeah you can draw" stage to masterpiece quality.

Sorry the link didn't work out. here is a working one

In the future, all you have to do is run an image search. Here is the image on deviantart (by "ffsex", who doesn't have the other image on his page.)

Cheers for the help Sprez, you would have thought that by now I'd have this stuff tied down but I have never found what I thought was stolen art work before.

I'm guessing that the next step would be to report it to an art mod.

You don't have to. Unlike the flash portal right now, the art portal actually has a report abuse button (in the title bar on the right)

I remember playing this when I was 9 or so, plus it's a spanish flash submitted by an english-speaking user.

Seems familiar, remember playing this somewhere before a few years ago.

Yea, it's been done before but I doubt this is stolen, nor will I put the effort to find an exact match. I'm pretty sure there's tons of these out there. Not really anything too difficult to program. If you look at his other submission you can tell he just makes really crappy games.

This looks like a cookie-cutter example of a shovelware account. Every single game looks like they spent less than an hour making them, mochiads are slapped onto all of them, and they all have a "The Thought Treasury" logo, whatever that is.

It's probably just a kid making what he thinks are good animations but what everybody else can see as the sort of crap that really should just be blammed. We should be greatful for the blam points I guess.

Some of the reviews on the flashes posted still make we wonder do people not read the rules. I read reviews saying it is stolen! why do people still write that even now unless they are new to this site. I do hope the whistle will be brought back some time in the future. I find loads of other flashes which may be stolen from people's reviews.

Perhaps this is just me, but I suppose I'll throw this question out to the group of people that would likely care most:

Doesn't the fact that you can't see a movie's score make voting on it after it passes judgement entirely pointless?

I mean, I suppose it would slow down and/or stop mass voting and such, but then why allow it to be voted on after judgement? Unless it gets into the top fifty of all time, what's the point? Nothing will change, aside from a few extra experience points.

Unless they changed the voting 'point' system to the voting 'star' system, and the review star system doesn't change anything.

In that case.....why did they do that?

I...don't understand, do you mean that you cannot see the movie's score after voting on it? I surely can if it's passed judgement...and what SCTE3 said, you can still hover over the star to show the accurate score.

But you don't vote in stars, you vote with points. You REVIEW the movie and give it stars. So why try to mix things up?

Well...the same system was there before the redesign...the only difference is that there are stars under the voting box.

I don't know, maybe I'm just getting too nostalgic over a design I only knew for four years, but it just seems like a pointless change.

Let's just say they have some REALLY disturbing pictures included. I was never a brony, but a clip of a (real) horse being castrated would disturb anyone.

The reason I did this was because I noticed that the flash had no visible author, or he was deleted...here's a pic for future reference. At first I thought it was SunriseKingdom, but I verified and it was not him/her.

Ahh nevermind, how stupid of me. I always think the first thing on my mind is a borderline shovelware account when I see a bug like that. I find out it's now Hyptosis, ignore that post now, please!

Right before it was deleted again today, VadimGoD who does the Meet 'n' Fuck series stated in a review that they wanted the content removed for using their site logo and showing it in a bad light.

I am betting that was the only reason it passed judgement as well. People saw the meet and fuck thing, and though ok let's protect it now, and play it later.

Not the original author of this flash game so it is stolen lol.
