Nobody is saying that and nobody is saying you need to stop leaving the kind of review that has obviously become your style. I (and I think others in the EGB) believe that Newgrounds is at its best when users help one another elevate their animation, art, music, writing, etc. to another level. This requires a process of feedback and reflection. Reviews are an important part of that process.

We're reflecting on the kind of reviews and posts that you're writing. We absolutely value your opinion, but that is certainly something different from valuing your feedback. We're saying "hey man, this isn't what the review system was meant to be, this is how we think you should modify your reviews."

I know it's hard to receive that kind of criticism. Please understand that we're trying to help.

GUTHRIE couldn't have explained it better, @Dangerous-D. We're just trying to help you out so you can become a good candidate for the EGB. None of us were trying to say that your opinion doesn't matter.


It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.

Sorry dude, I was in Mod Mode. My mistake. One day though I'm sure you'll be access to that link. One day.

I applied 3 times to become a member of the EGB and I was refused twice. I didn't whinge & whine & carry on like an idiotic angsty teenager. I did what was necessary to become a member thanks to the constructive criticism I was given at the time. Now look at me, I'm 3IC (3rd in charge) of the EGB and I'm a Game/Movie Portal Moderator. Never say never.

Now assuming you're 30'ish years old (or older) from your account sign up date. You can either do as the other EGB members have suggested and fix what needs to be fixed, so that there's a possibility that you can eventually join us or you can go away, keep your miserable attitude to yourself & continue acting like a spoiled child because so far that's all you've been doing in here.

The ball is in your court.

I remember those votes - @GameJunkie was a bit rough around the edges at first, and the discussions about his admission were very...animated. Needless to say, he got his act together, and has earned the respect of us all; he's a mod and my left-hand man (@Deftonesfan665 is my right). And he's also a great guy, and a good friend.

Welcome to the real world. Nothing revolves around you (or me, or anyone else). Life owes you nothing. I can be diplomatic, but politically correct isn't my strong suit. That's because I learned a long time ago that you get out of life what you put in it - and nothing is free. I've done my share of mistakes, some of which set me back quite a bit. But to move forward, I first had to get past myself.

The ball is in your court.

Take some time and think about it. I can understand to some degree your responses, and yet I still see potential in you. You seem to be a nice enough guy, with a lot to offer - but you have a hard time with criticism. We are the Elite Guard, which means that we hold ourselves to higher than average standards; we can help you reach that level, if you'd only realize that we want to help, and not condemn.

A woman never reveals her age, and I appreciate the compliment. Just glad it was never a "Luke and Leia" thing.

A bit late on that one, bud. Looks like someone already tossed him a link.

You can sour puss all you want about not getting accepted into the EGB/ROTC program, but it won't do any good. You've been told what would change everyone's minds, yet you continue to give us reasons to shut the doors and plug your ears when anyone explains the reasons why. No one likes a sore loser, especially not one who would rather complain than fix one tiny problem, and making an ass of yourself in the process is only going to get you in trouble with moderators. If you haven't been paying attention, this thread is full of them.

Don't play dense. If you don't want to shape up, ship out. No point harassing people.

OFFICIAL MEMORANDUM - ELITE GUARD BARRACKS COMMUNICATIONS

From: CBO EGSC ByteSlinger

To: ALL BARRACKS PERSONNEL

Date:24-June-2017

RE: Reactivation of Lt. General @Lizzardis

I am pleased to announce that our old friend and comrade at arms, Lt. General Lizzardis, is now an active member of the Elite Guard Barracks once again. I've known this young man for many years, and it will be a pleasure having him back at the front lines.

Please join me in welcoming him back to the Elite Guard!

*HUZZAH* *HUZZAH* *HUZZAH*

Note to RECO @EDM364 - Due to his protracted absence, he will have to undergo the initiation ceremony again. Please remember to tell the pick-up crew that he needs to be blindfolded *BEFORE* they toss him into the back of the van - for insurance purposes. Also, make sure they give those toys and tools a good wipe-down before they use them - don't want him to catch anything that penicillin can't cure.

As you were.!

*SALUTES*

Posting here to be sour towards others or telling other users they will never be accepted or allowed to join is not ok. If you are only going to bother others with negativity, please do not post in this thread, thanks.

Sounds like the ban hammers are warming up. Can't say we didn't warn him. Thank you, @NekoMika

Yeah well you shouldn't have posted it at all because I had already replied to the original post with a link to help the person out & all within 23 minutes of his post. So tell me now then, just exactly how weren't we going to help him??

Don't bother. There's no point having a flame war over one sour grape, and the more you egg him on, the more annoyed everyone is going to be. There's the old saying, "Don't feed the troll!"

On another note, where is @Lizzardis? I've been waiting with 8 blindfolded midgets, whipped cream, power tools, the ceremonial goat, and one pristine beer pong set a-clacking for over 12 hours! And on yet another note, I'm back from work. Now I've just got to finish judging for the NGADM audition round and it'll be back to the Portals.

For EGB Flaggers & Portal Mods.

So I just unpublished the original of this (see below) because it had usable but uncredited music. I PM'd the Author about it & he re-submitted it with Audio credits so please don't flag it (flaggers) or unpublish it (mods).

It probably wont pass judgement but at least the Author was cool about the issue & took care of it hastily.
