Barracks Roster as of July 1st, 2015:

2015 is now halfway over - time does fly when you're having fun. Speaking of fun, yours truly had the opportunity to travel to NYC Monday night and catch RUSH at Madison Square Garden during their R40 tour. Now, being an older geek, I was around for most of their albums when they first were published, and that concert just ROCKED! Nothing like 3 hours of a solid performance from one of my favs to bring back great memories and start my week off right.

Of course, getting back home at 2AM Tuesday morning wasn't conducive to getting up bright and early to start my day, but that's one of the perks of being a consultant - just worked a little later that day to keep up.

Anyway, it's another month here at the barracks. Decky's hard work has raised him to the ranks of Lt. General, and Colonel DefTonesFan665 is still leading the way with posts, blams and being an excellent example for the barracks. Congrats to both of them - and a big thinks to every who helps make the portal a better place for us all.

Now, where where we...oh, yes - the roster:

Milestones::
byteslinger - 103K saves
DefTonesFan665 - 17K saves, 19K total B/P
Exedor - 55K total B/P

Promotions::
Decky - Lt. General

No new members entering or leaving this month.

Seems like it, huh? But actually, this is referring to those "Free Laptop/iPad/PS3/Xbox360" ads that were very common a while back. The key here is the "third party" part. ...well, and the "queries, Referral Events, or impressions of" part. This rule is designed to stop people from submitting things that:
- a user has no choice but to click the ad in order to play the animation, or
- the submission is nothing but a "click here for [whatever swag] ad, and nothing else; no animation, no video, no game, just an ad, or
- the submission generates 'fake' ad clicks/referrals/ad impressions.

So what about the "clicks on any ad" part? Ads are how we get some money out of this hobby of ours. Even Newgrounds wouldn't be here without the ad revenue.

This user didn't force anyone to click an ad, and his submission isn't an ad and nothing else, so this one's ok.

Good call; just a bit strict in the interpretation, this go. :)

Unfortunately, no. :\ Ripping audio from a movie isn't prohibited. Ripping a clip and submitting with no alterations, additions, or changes is. He took the audio clip, but he animated a boring, stick figure clip to go with it, so that's allowed. ...annoying, but allowed.

Can we stop him ?
...can you afford a hitman? I can't. :\

I don't know if I got it totally wrong or if this kid is really that bold, but could some of you pls take a look at http://miscritsquest.newgrounds.com/ for me?

Seems that dude uses only copyrighted artwork and puts up some wall-o-texts to create something 'new'. Half of his followers seem to be clones of himself (if you take a look at names/profiles you will find that quite a lot of them are profiles of 'his' creatures). I looked at 3 of his submissions. Now my eyes are bleeding, but I couldn't find any credit given to the original creator of the artwork (which seems to be some facebook game-company).

So while he uses copyrighted material (for which he surely could've asked permission, dunno) he doesn't give any credit and obviously fakes high ratings on his submissions.

Checking...

...It was removed a long time ago...

...looks like it utilized copyrighted Nintendo sprites, and we know what a prissy whiner Nintendo was. :\

Yeah, I remember it. It wasn't in the Obituaries, and it wasn't removed by mods. He must've seen the score tanking and pulled it, maybe? Other than being rated incorrectly again, it doesn't break any rules. v0te away, everyb0dy. :)

Hoping for a blam on that one. Beiber + sucky icon + sucky gameplay = good chance for a blam.

No. It does work on Firefox. It's one of those "press space bar to change gravity" games. I gotta question it tho, since it's called "Naga [ahem] Running Gravity" but the author comments are in spanish.... ,':|
