How exactly did you find those? As long as they're publically viewable somehow (other than manually typing in a URL) then it's safe to say it's reportable.
I just type "watch" on the NG search tool (using the "everything" parameter) I find a lot of audio spam accounts(which already reported to the Audio Portal Cleanup Thread), but some of those "Misc Projects" pop randomly :

Yeah, it's a Zone-Sama game. Taken care of. Thanks for the report.

Sorry that took so long. I was having a snooze.
Is this working for you? All I get is a picture with a link. Even right clicking and hitting play doesn't work for me.

Nope, looks like the author only wants us to watch it on YouTube.

The vote limit was raised from 30 to 50. Maybe blamming will be possible again.

Awesome, those news make me ..... quite jolly.
Looks like someone took the lead hunting audio spam.
Found a lot more of those spam misc projects :
Musicians make music , producers make products. * drops mic :D

I went through and made a list of all of the usernames from those projects (that was a pain) so all of those misc project accounts should be deleted now. Unfortunately I don't think there's anything that can be done about those projects.
If you find anymore and the accounts haven't been deleted then just link one per account. Linking the projects of the deleted account is unnecessary for now since we can't do anything about them.
Also, there's 20~ pages of Google search results of these projects.

Removed. That's the first one in over 9 hours. That's a huge improvement over what it was.

Must be a fun job. If they weren't actual teasers I might not have reported them.... or reported after I watched it lol
Are prompts as a game even allowed? I don't think so. That is all this game is.

We're discussing it in the Mod Forums as we speak, but the direction is heading toward 'no.' This was removed yesterday and this is basically the same game, but with an option to 'exit' if you want. ...assuming that you also read the author comments to find out about it before clicking play.

Got it. Only projects linked to an account, 1 per account. I'll keep my eyes open.

It seems like it's even harder to blam submissions now. There are so many submissions that come through with terrible scores, but still passed somehow. It's like they have to have less than one star to be blammed.
For example, this passed. How!?

Yeah that's pretty bad. It's actually at .81, so it is under 1 star. Or at least it is now.

Pretty easy to figure out. That submission and others in the same vein started to pass because users who just vote for the maximum amount of B/P points realised that standarts for passing have dropped to an absolutely terrible low thanks to the recent vote changes, so instead of voting 0 on some stuff they now vote "safe this one" on everything.

That could be, but if you ask me, it seems like the score required to get a submission blammed got lowered. I swear, there are submissions passing with scores below the blam requirement. Whatever is going on, I'm kind of getting pissed off.

I can agree with this. I have only achieved ONE blam ever since the changes and that was only because a movie spam account was deleted. The scores for a submission to pass should be raised IMO. There are way too many tests and other stuff passing that would normally be blammed. A good example would be something like this:

Just got home and checking the feed. Holy hell. Passing below 1 star? That's unheard of. Have there been any more changes to the system since the 1 vote per lifetime rule was implemented?

True. And thank you all for the reports. The mod forums have been very active with all the spammers and the changes. We're working very hard to get things corrected and/or improved.
With any changes, tho, it takes time to see things level out. Please don't be too harsh on the Portal while this is going on. And please don't change your voting habits. Try to keep the quality up, cuz if we stop the quality control, will there be any at all? Some will get thru, but that's always happened. Tom, the Admins, and the mods are actively working on it in the background. ;)
I present to you our daily 4th, everybody:
