Question:

So, I know we can post here and all, but do we need to "sign up" for the Elite Guard Barracks? Or do you spot people who've posted well and say, 'well, he's been helpful and he appears to have showered, so let's draft him" and make an offer? How does it all work, and do I get a decoder ring? And how much nudity is involved during 'initiation?'

Hi, Exedor. As the recruitment officer for the Elite Guard Barracks, let me answer these burning questions for you:

At 6/21/13 01:48 AM, Exedor wrote: Question:

So, I know we can post here and all, but do we need to "sign up" for the Elite Guard Barracks?

No, you do not need to be a member to post here or help us. We appreciate everyone's help!

Or do you spot people who've posted well and say, 'well, he's been helpful and he appears to have showered, so let's draft him" and make an offer?

While we do recognize that some users (such as yourself) are very helpful and (more than) qualified to join, there is no automatic process. If you want to join the EGB, you just need to post a request here, and I will guide you through the process. The first step is a quick qualification / background check to ensure that you meet our minimal requirements (which, in your case, you do). If that works out, we open up a discussion in our voting forum on the EGB BBS where all current members and leaders weigh in on the pros and cons of your membership. This voting process can take anywhere from 3 to 10 days, depending on how fast we can get a quorum on the vote. It is my job to notify the candidate and let them know the end result.

As for showering, that's always a plus. Fortunately, you can only post pics here - we aren't subjected to bodily odors yet. Personal hygiene is important, because the cleaner you are, generally the more healthier you are - and the more time you can spend online here at Newgrounds.

:How does it all work, and do I get a decoder ring?

See above - and no, we don't have decoder rings. But we do have cookies! :)

:And how much nudity is involved during 'initiation?'

That depends on how drunk you get when the three midget female wrestlers are done with you. I am glad you didn't inquire about the goats, the large stock of whipped cream in the commissary, and the box of battery-powered hand-tools marked as "toys" hidden behind EagleRock's bed. Or the video equipment...

So I hope this answered your questions - and if you want to officially request to join our merry band of misfits, just let me know and we'll get the ball rolling.

Until then, see you at the front lines!

And what are your minimal requiriments?

Yes, you answered and my questions, too. :)

Also, that was me who ask this question to Exedor. And in order, for my gentle request, he asked this question to you.)

You can take it as read that Exedor gets my vote FOR 100%. We keep each other company most of the time already, so he might as well be 'one of us'.

And, yes, GameJunkie, I agree - Exedor is a great fit. But we still need to run through the process. Most likely he will be accepted, but I can't make that decision unilaterally. You know, rules and stuff...

Sorry for the double post - I just realized that Makaroff had a bad cut/paste from my post - he was just repeating what I wrote.

My apologies. If you want to join, you will need to meet these minimal requirements for consideration:

a) Rank Private or higher (2,500+ bp) - [ok]
b) Silver whistle or better - need to work on that
c) A history of helpful / meaningful posts - not one-liners or +1's - need to work on that
d) Same for flash reviews - need to work on that, too.
e) Something that resembles an attempt at balanced voting (not all protects, some blams) - [ok]

You're pointing in the right direction - just need to step up your game a bit. Write more details in your reviews, and look for other reviews that violate the standards of Newgrounds and whistle them (be careful - when in doubt, don't). Watch the one-liner responses. You may not be a chatty person IRL but here we look for those who can be helpful to others as well as a good soldier knocking out the crud flashes and keeping the balance in Newgrounds.

Again, my apologies for the previous post. If you have any questions or comments, please reply or PM me. Thanks!

Fair enough. Here is the official wall-o-text to start things off:

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 (or so)

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.

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.

3. Cleaning up the review system.

Been there, doin that. The first time I went thru the reviews on Midna: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/435312, I ended up getting 6+ pages of reviews removed due to links like that one that's 2nd at the moment. Coop, you want at that one?
