Yeah, he says so in one of his review replies, thus it's gone now.

Sweet! It seems like you're the only one who is.
Sorry if I'm late.
Now,my opinion on the "NEW" change:
I think that it's good for the portal because stuff will leave the judgement phase faster,thus,a submission spends less than 5h to get out of judgement.
"A submission will get saved if it reaches 3.00/5 after 50 votes : This is not what i expected,It's not good in my opinion,because many authors could abuse this,some of the friends of the author could 5en it and make it pass
Solution to this: I'd really like to move the limit to 4.00/5,the awesome stuff would get saved faster and all the average/ok stuff would spend more time under judgement.
"Blam thresold raised to 1.75" : I really support this,because in my voting habbits:If I don't want to see a submission in the portal,I vote 0,this includes walk cycles,loops,unfunny/badly drawn/very short/spammy animations,badly drawn things etc.,such kinds of submissions are more suitable for the dumping grounds.
but I'd like to move the blam thresold to 2 because ALL the submissions with a score of 2 or under are not worth keeping,quality content is what made me want to create an account.

Seriously, how did these 2 get through judgement?
and
They're just 3D tutorial demos with absolutely nothing to do! No gameplay besides walk and walk off a platform into a neverending freefall to nowhere.
More Shovelware. Another basic Match 3 game just a bastardized version of Bejewelled.

Not only that but in game credits, credit the game to PlayRosy.com (gamesforgirls)
also this is credited to the same site.

All 3 are easily downloadable shareware games.
One more for consideration. Do we really need another basic Sudoku game to go with the other 85 Sudoku games already on Newgrounds?
It's just Sudoku and absolutely no different to any of the other Sudoku games already on Newgrounds.

Not sure. When it comes to those things, it's difficult to say where we draw the line, for example then all tic tac toe games would be forbidden too and other beginner stuff. I would let it stay, we don't get flooded with Sudoku games lately.

I say let it stay. Doesn't break any rules.

Well I could have been wrong, maybe he just didn't know how to submit properly. Looks like he's resubmitted an actual working version now.
Not a game or a movie. People need to learn what belongs on YouTube.

It says it was made with Stencyl, though, so it's a Stencyl tutorial.

That statement is 100% wrong, sorry. There are a fair amount of games that have been made with Stencly which are not Stencyl tutorials.

You just need to look at it to see it's a Stencyl Tutorial. Did you look at it?
I'll admit it has had a fair amount of alteration done to it though. But, there's always a but. All you have to do is click the screen and you jump to the next level, up until level 5 or 6 (I forgot which) at which point the game goes into an endless loop of you falling through the start platform. At this point you can go no further. But it's still a Stencyl Tutorial.
This passed judgment and it's not a game or a movie. Could a mod remove this?

i was being sarcastic...
Well, it's been a long time, but I've finally gotten around to continuing my EGB fan-fic, "Through a Mirror Darkly". I left it at a cliffhanger a while ago, and it took some time to figure out how I was going to end it. I finally have the plot ideas worked out - and it will eventually span into more current events...you'll see...
Sometimes, to end something, we have to go back to the beginning - here's Chapter 26 - The Wheels Come Off The Wagon
Hope you like it.

Oh, by the way, I am a Private now. So can I join the ranks officially here at the EGB?
At 9/3/13 01:09 PM, ForNoReason wrote: Oh, by the way, I am a Private now. So can I join the ranks officially here at the EGB?
Hello, Private.
I am Supreme Commander byteslinger, and among my duties here at the Guard is processing new recruits. You are certainly qualified to request permission to join the Elite Guard. However, 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 Silver 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; the moderators who monitor our forum will act on them accordingly.
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.
