"Your submission must not be a pointless "demo" or "preview" without any redeeming qualities."

That sounds like it applies to tests, so I'm guessing it's really only shitty tests that should be removed, since some tests could have "redeeming qualities". Still though, I'd say they should still be given a chance to get blammed first. If they pass judgement, then they should be removed :p

I'm checkin on it and hope to have an answer for us shortly. :)

It's gameplay footage. He even pops up a menu at 3:25. Dunno what game it's from.

I hate this fact just as much as you do. Moving on, the only one I would agree with you on in being removed is Cannon Launcher, since there's just white space after you shoot the cannon ball so far and it seems to have no real objective. The other games you reported are not high quality games whatsoever, but they do seem to be complete. Not good, quality games in any sense, but complete.

In the case of demos like that cannonball shooter, it is ok to remove them and PM the creator advising them to use Dumping grounds and the forums to share unfinished projects.

For games that update with new versions as new submissions (http://jamboska.newgrounds.com/games/) - if caught early enough, could unpublish and tell the developer to please update the existing entry. If caught late, could tell the developer to please update the existing version in the future. Some devs do it because they don't know they can update the existing one, others do it because they want another chance through judgment for views / score...

I suppose one policy could be that if they have a bunch of versions, unpublish all of them between the original and the latest? Assuming the original has a lot of views... If it doesn't, maybe we should just unpublish all old versions and tell them to please update their existing version in the future.
----------------------------------------------

So, looks like repeat submissions are reportable. Looks like tests with little or no merit are reportable too. If they've got a decent demo, then no, but if they're poor showings, with little to no merit, or substantially unfinished items, then yes.

Pretty sure if the foot doctor game got removed (see last page), the hand doctor game won't be any better (Wowsomegame)

And congrats, Exedor :)

LOL! You idiot!!!! Congratulations on your Modship, I told you so.

Smoking is for dumb bots.

You can both bite me!

Gamesrishiti and ourgames are being added to the list of junk that can be removed given they fit shovelware criteria.

That should keep me cheered up for at least 24 hours.

Added ourgames and gamesrishti to the list plus went back over a few EGB pages and added about 10 other accounts that were agreed upon by Mods. So it's well and truly up to date. If you go throught my list and see any that I have missed off it that need to be added, let me know. I have been a little slack recently with 'The List' so getting it up to date has been today's priority.

Live action video of a kid jumping off his bed in slow-motion.

Why would he think that's okay to submit??

• Unpublished Submission

I'm fairly certain this is stolen. The description seems to hint at it being owned by someone called "UltimoPlayer" and that's not the name of the account that uploaded it, plus it seems like all this guy's audio is stolen as well... and he just joined today ._.
