You could try changing the requirements to become a member. Maybe have some nice and pleasant user or users handle recruitment? When I asked if I could, I was rudely told NO. I can't be the only user who was turned away in a negative way.

You were rudely told no? I doubt that. The only person with the authority to flat out reject you is byteslinger (and EagleRock I suppose) and I didn't see that in the first few pages of her post history.
Beside that one of the main rules to join the EGB is that you mustn't have a lot of one liner posts on the BBS, and you do. I don't think that's an unreasonable rule at all.
I don't think complaining about being rejected is really the ideal EGB attitude. You should instead work upon improving whatever was the reasoning you were allegedly rejected for. I think you should work on your post and review length and then reapply. (and again, you've not been rejected unless byteslinger says you have been)

Thanks for calling me a liar.

There was a post asking for ideals to help find new faces. I was only trying to help. You could of ignored my post or at least thanked my for my input.

How about you get off your high horse and stop trying to judge me? Your holier than thou attitude is not going to help recruit anybody.

I wasn't really calling you a liar. I'm saying I think you're mistaken. I don't think you were rudely told no because I don't think anybody with the authority to tell you no responded to you.

Look, all I was doing was trying to point out part of what we consider when voting on new members to join. The EGB isn't just a thread for reporting rule-breaking submissions. You need to do more than that to be accepted, there's certain requirements you should meet. I was just trying to suggest what you work on before you reapply, because those things are taken into consideration in the voting process.

I understand. If I chose to reapply I will let your your club know. Have a nice day.

Gentlemen, let's not get twisted over this. I do remember when DS petitioned for admittance - it was a split decision, and although his heart was in the right place, there were some issues with one-liners and replies that put him on the fence. If I came across as rude when I pass on the declination to join, I do apologize. I do not, for one moment, think that he is a "bad" person - in fact, he is quite helpful at times. He just wasn't quite ready to be admitted into the barracks.
As to Jolly's point, we do try to maintain a high standard here, and we are all held accountable for our actions, reviews and posts in Newgrounds. That is part of our manifesto. We all need to lead by example and be the best. That is why we are the "Elite" guards.
What has hurt us was the closing of the NGPD. It was there that many of our members started in life, learning all the good habits we need to keep the portal running smoothly and fairly. It was a good place to get together and fight the good fight; and when they reached "private" rank, if they were so inclined, they applied to the EGB - and most of the time, admitted.
With the NGPD closed, there is no more apprenticeship, guidance or direction for new members - and no path for them to follow later in their life here. I had kicked around the idea of adding an apprentice program to the EGB, but it's still under advisement.
Hopefully, this clears things up a bit. We don't need to fight among ourselves - we have to stay united and fight what really matters - and that's all the crud coming into the portal.
Thanks for listening.

You know, it really wouldn't take too much effort to just not remove these, and just collaborate to get a whole load of people with high vote power to vote zero on two of them to get them a portal ban. Of course, this would probably fall foul of some NG rule, as opposed to uploading fourteen crap games a week, which is fine
Whack Your Neighbour
This game looks very stolen...
Some proof:
First of all...the original author released his games on newgrounds known as "Doodieman" and then it looks this guy stole one of his games that he didn't release yet and submitted it here without permission because it looks he did not even bother mentioning the original creator.
You bunch of Yoyos!

Not only is this just a fucking lightbulb, I think it's a tutorial from something. I vaguely remember using it in my website development class.

You could probably slam it for stealing the song in the background (and not crediting it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAbhJk4YJns
The author's description is non English , but the game is made with English. Does anybody know if this submission is legit?

Pretty sure this is stolen. I can find it on several other websites and I don't see the name of the user on this game anywhere.
