Did someone steal the keys to the backhoe?
Uh, has anyone seen this yet? Infectonator 2 might be stolen.
This is more of a question than anything. Obviously regarding these Race type games. They are reskinned games obviously and they are submitted by the handful. Trucks, Cars, Motorcycles, Karts, F1, recently even Planes or whatever they can think of. It's always the same tracks/levels. Always the same Oil patches and Turbo pads. Are these considered Shovelware? Should we post them here?

If blammed submissions are ever re-submitted with no changes then go ahead and report them here but we'll probably let them be blammed so the user gets banned from the portal for two weeks. If it passes the second time then we'll most likely remove them.

Alright, I won't post them here unless they pass from now on.

Not sure about this one, but it smells of shoverware to me.

Please don't kill me.
Welcome! I'm Supreme Commander byteslinger, the Recruitment Officer of the Elite Guard Barracks. I apologize for the delay in this response, as I missed your original post. Thank you for reminding me about it in your PM.
Anyway, after a cursory review of your profile and posts, you seem to be a decent candidate for the Elite Guard. There are a few things you'll need to read and understand before you join, 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, I'll make the final call and PM you with the results. Assuming that no objections are raised, the process usually takes a day or two.
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.

Either he has made a new account and thinks it's necessary to reupload this, or he stole this. You decide:
The Review Request club, the Blammers List (update every 15th), and the Protectors List (Update every 1st). My sig has it all.

This was originally submitted as "Updated a boatload"
He re-uploaded it without making any changes to it.
Also, I noticed that
http://www.newgrounds.com/gameswithmedals/
is still flooded with the HTD tutorials. The individual tutorials were removed and compiled into 2 collections, but the links are still on the page.
I hope I'm not off topic with this post, but you guys always seem to know what to do. :)
He's at it again. What a surprise.

Alright...let it begin...
Very well.
MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE...
Will ALL Barracks members please join in the admission discussion and voting for Criminal-23. He seeks to join the EGB for many good reasons, so let's give him the once-over and see if he's Elite material.
That is all. Carry on.

It looks like it's going to be one of those days. Here we go again.
Is this legit? It's just some hamster-dance, nyan-cat thing, but the whole animation is covered with an external link.
I know it's only a movie and doesn't seem especially malicious, but if someone gets curious as to what would happen if you clicked it... pay-to-click money to the website it opens?
I mean it's just a loop, but is it interactive? You don't know till you click. It's by Gamermuscle(.com) and the Flash goes to
Vault 101 I have (LOST) many old and deleted Flash submissions, (you can't) PM me (dammit Tom) the filename, maybe I (godhelpmeonedayIwill) got it.
I have yet another question (sorry I'm not a member). Just caught a completely plagiarized review in Tom's "Talk Head" app/game, so I flagged it. Will a review mod catch what I caught? There's NO mod on duty just now...... can mods overrule a previous decision?
Both reviews were on the same page. I don't think http://ericho.newgrounds.com/ would like his hard work as a reviewer being lifted like that.

"the whole animation is covered with an external link."
Either it was stolen from said external link, or it was more of a site ad than a genuine attempt at an animation (read: "Your movie must not simply be an ad for your site" and / or the "shovelware" rule). Is what I'm guessing, anyway.
Sup crackas!
Working 60 hours a week is taking it's toll on my ass. I haven't been here in a while huh?
Any one want to fill me in on happenings and news?

Hey, Spiff! Long time no see. Good to hear from you - now, go vote on the BBS for Criminal-23's admission.
And, I hear through the grapevine that Coop may be pregnant - and either GameJunkie or Spretnaz may be the father. But that's only rumors. Then again, that same source swore he's seen EagleRock around here and there, but personally I have a better chance of having lunch with Bigfoot. But, hey, if it's in "The Enquirer" it MUST be true hehehehehe.....

That really doesn't surprise me, he's such a whore. I doubt GameJunkie is the dad though, he's too old to produce kids.
Although I heard the other day that they managed to create sperm and eggs from mice stem cells, so at this point nothing surprises me.
gamesgrow has created so many alts accounts I have lost track I wish that there was a way to ban him for good. I'm playing Skyrim fantastic game, I'm on level 13 I hope Dark Souls is a good as it looks. The videos I have seen of the game Dark Souls looks great, but you cant really tell till you play it really. The Front Page has some good looking movies and games, I need to check some of them out also the portal as well.
Archer I'm a good shot!

Normally I'd leave this one alone, but it's submitted by "ben10games" who looks like he's had stuff removed before, and it has a pretty horrible translation job for a description.
Blammed yesterday. Re-submitted without any alterations.
