It is what it is but it does not break any rules and should not be reported.

Edit. LOL! you beat me by seconds there Jolly.

Well, yes it is. It's an animation that someone created themselves. it's not stolen, malicious, or containing inappropriate material, so it's right where it should be. Now, whether it's good enough to [ass Judgement is another thing, but as for this, there's no need to report it. Vote however you will, tho. ;)

That IS the second one. The first one died earlier today, somehow.

A really quick question (I am quite a noob here), If somebody uploads a game about sonic or Mario etc, is it legal?

Them not being banned != Nothing happening

There used to be a blam club (which you and DoctorStrongbad should remember, considering how long you've both been on NG) and it was locked. If the EGB turns into that, which it slowly seems to be doing, then it might meet the same fate.

As you clearly know the point of this thread, at least in its current form, is to report rule breaking submissions and have them removed.

Legal, yes. Mario submissions (using Mario sprites) however are against the rules due to threats from Nintendo. (Unless it's very high quality, e.g. Super Mario Crossover)

As the highest ranking active member of the EGB, let me clear the air about this once and for all: The EGB never was, and never will be, a blam club. There is a difference between a RULE BREAKING submission and one that is just undesirable.

The rules are set by Newgrounds; we monitor the portal entries and alert the mods to those submissions that are in violation of those rules, such as stolen flashes, copyrighted content, resubmitted blammed entries, shovelware, etc. These submissions truly have no business on Newgrounds.

If a flash does NOT violate any of the rules, it is solely up to EACH INDIVIDUAL user to weigh the submission and vote based on their own observations and opinions.

This is NOT the place to post your feelings on a crappy flash - and yes, there are a lot coming in - UNLESS it breaks the rules for being legitimate. I don't want to see posts like "hey, this flash is piece of shit, why hasn't it been blammed?". Save that stuff for the general forums.

So, I respectfully request that from this point forward, we all stick to posting rule-breaking flashes here, please. I will do whatever I need to do to protect the EGB and this forum thread, and I hope that those who read this now understand what we are trying to do here.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Shovelware is part of the rule breakers. You're doing fine. This message was not directed at you.

Shovelware is part of the rule breakers. You're doing fine.

I've ceased to be interested in letting mods know that someone has uploaded "shit escape game 420" if they're free to upload "shit escape game 421" the day after. It's incredibly easy to fix, but the mods/admins show no interest in doing so. I'm more interested in eliminating the tests, previews, speedpaints, intros, crappy stick animations, crappy madness animations, pong version 8394768, but hey, if they don't explicitly break the rules, that's ok, right?

Close. They're not exactly the same, so it's not stolen. He copied the idea for entire thing, but his version is a copy he created and has his own work in it. Close, but not stolen. ;)

I hear your frustration - you are certainly trying to keep a quality level of flashes on Newgrounds, and as I said before, you really are quite helpful in doing so. I am curious- you say "it's easy to fix" the uploads of sequential uploads and other flashes - would you please tell me what you had in mind? As a programmer (and one who deals with Newgrounds data on various log and stat sites) I really am interested in your solution - and if it's workable, I could help by working with the developers here to possibly implement some of the changes. I am all for eliminating manual work, and trying to make the portal entry and upload process more selective (intelligent?) . I personally would like to see more bots - like a "k-bot" - it checks entries after submission, and if it's a dupe / numbered one (as you pointed out) automatically kill it - and if a user does this to many times, lock the account - and eventually block the IP if too many accounts are created to shovel the crap.

I don't think this thread has run it's course - I think we're all trying to do the right thing, but we no longer have the tools to do it. But I do think it may be part of a bigger problem - the general decline in the activity on Newgrounds. It's no longer the "go-to" place for all of the Flash developers; there aren't any more "crews" that really use the site. The young kids who lived on this site 5-7 years ago have grown up and gone off to deal with real life. We have a handful of old folks (like me) who are in it for the long haul - and then mostly middle-to-high school age kids who visit us and do whatever they want.

Newgrounds, like any other organism, needs to evolve - or die. They've tried a few changes and reboots - with mixed results. The big questions to ask are:
1) Where are all of the flash developers these days?
2) How do we entice them to visit us and upload quality work to the site?
3) How do we keep them interested in staying?

Maybe if we had monthly (quarterly?) flash challenge contests, with nominal cash prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd (example: challenge this month: present a flash that runs at least 5 minutes that shows someone/something encountering an obstacle/problem and how they resolve it - with no spoken words, just simple sound effects or music.) There would be standing rules, such as no loops, no use of copyrighted images or material, no resubmission of any prior work, etc. The point is to give the developers an incentive to submit some of their work and maybe win a few bucks and see your name in lights on a website as a winner.

Please don't be dissuaded by your frustrations - you're not the only one who feels this way. Wade, Tom and all the other fine folks in charge need to know what the user community really feels - and hopefully, make some positive changes to keep things on an even keel.

Stolen. Author comments indicate he doesn't know when it was created?

"This was made 11 months ago according to youtube."

I think a real author would know when they created something.
