Actually, that is something that should be left to site moderators only.

Why? Before I was a Moderator, I messaged literally hundreds of Youtuber's to ask if they had submitted material to Newgrounds or if someone had stolen it & submitted it for themselves. Well over half the people I contacted replied to me that it was stolen. Then when I got that proof, I posted about it here. You don't need to be a Moderator to ask questions.

Let me be a little more clear. I've never contacted someone on Newgrounds that I suspected of stealing content. I have contacted other content creators that who suspected had had their content stolen.

That's what I assumed was proper procedure. Moderators and other authority figures can probe suspected content thefts. People contact creators all the time about a lot of different but related subjects and it's not a nuisance to bring a suspected theft to light. Contacting a suspected thief is more of an enforcement procedure, which I've seldom been in the position to impose.

I never suggested that you contact 'the thief' nor would I, my suggestion to you was to contact the Youtuber & ask him whether he had himself submitted the reported submission, just to verify what you were already fairly certain of. There is absolutely no reason why you cannot do this. For someone to suggest that this to be left for the 'Mods only' is absurd & a bit conceited in my opinion.

*Maximum agreement*

I can maybe understand discouraging younger and less experienced users from contacting creators, but I think anyone in the EGB can be trusted to not goof it up. It's not a complex task.

I don't know about duplicating it here, since there are two ways to report. Anyway, I reported Bob the Robber 4 with the following description:
The original author is Flazm. https://flazm.newgrounds.com/games/ Flazm made and submitted the original Bob the Robber and Bob the Robber 2 to Newgrounds and Kongregate. They are a studio: http://flazm.com Their studio then moved from Russia to Lithuania. The new studio made Bob the Robber 3 and 4 but didn't submit it to these websites. (Maybe they don't have the account passwords or just don't care.) This new uploader account OrangeGamesNL is submitting Bob the Robber 4 here on Newgrounds right now. OrangeGamesNL doesn't have information online about itself. It seems like JUST a Newgrounds account, nothing more. Since they don't appear to even be proper sponsors, this could be stolen, in the sense that Newgrounds doesn't allow it. If at least the uploader was Kizi, which is linked from flazm.com as the host portal of Bob the Robber 4, but no, it's not the case. This entire OrangeGamesNL account could even be banned despite having earned an award and having submitted many games. OrangeGamesNL links to a website on its profile, but then you would have to look into the stance on random game portals submitting "stolen" games... (Games that they didn't made or sponsor, but may have permission to host, if they're free...)

The entire account as I had suggested was not deleted. Only the Bob the Robber submission was. Now, hilarity ensues. OrangeGamesNL just released a game (from the same authors of Bob the Robber) that is already on Newgrounds!

Now, just because we haven't done anything yet does not mean that we can't. If you're going to be a dick about things, we can start things up sooner, bro.

To all my friends and comrades of the Elite Guard,

Today, as I think about all my blessings and all that I am thankful for, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you here, for being part of my life, and making me part of yours. May you, your families and your loved ones have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and as we start the holiday season, may you all find joy, peace and happiness. And again, thank you all for letting me be part of something wonderful here at Newgrounds!

Now, get off the tech and go spend some time with someone in person!

Barracks dismissed... enjoy your leave!

-byte-

Anyone noticed a weird spike in low-quality blam fodder submissions lately? Did we get an influx of new young users or something?

Also @byteslinger we don't do thanksgiving over here but I can probably speak for most users here in saying thanks for the very kind words and for even thinking to take a moment out of your thanksgiving day to check in on your barrack buds. We're all thankful to have you here and keeping the rest of us together. <3

I haven't looked into it too much, but I have definitely noticed that there have been a lot more new users submitting their stuff. It's cool to see an influx of new users, I hope the quality of their submissions improves a lot, too.

I've noticed that recently. I also hope to see at least some improvement from some of them as well

Let me ask you: what do you think moderation should entail? Swapping a file that has passed judgement with another unrelated file is against the Newgrounds rules. Usually, this activity results in account termination.

Spend your time doing something constructive.

Your insolence and lack of respect will NOT be tolerated in the Barracks. You have made threats against a member of the barracks, and that violates the Newgrounds code of conduct. As the commanding officer here in the Barracks, I will see to it that you don't get the opportunity to make good on your threats.

@tomfulp, please escort this miscreant to the door, he does not belong here.

Barracks Roster as of December 1st, 2017:

Wow...the last roster for 2017. This year is almost history - hopefully, 2018 will be better for us all.
But November was a good month for the Barracks. Just about every member was active, and the mods have been keeping busy with all of the stolen and resubmitted flashes. Kudos to @GameJunkie, @Exedor, @Jackho and @ADR3-N for their continued support, hard work and dedication. *Salutes*

And we can't forget the newly promoted Lt. General @Guthrie, who not only ranked up this month, but continues to claim more than 1,000 B/P points monthly. I can appreciate that kind of drive and dedication - and obvious insomnia! He hit a few milestones in November, and from the looks of it, shows no signs of stopping. At this rate, he will make EGSC by September of 2018. Well done, soldier! *Salutes*

One last thing before we continue: in a prior post, I responded to the dangerous rantings of "comehahahacum". I have called upon Tom to shut him down, but if any of the mods here can do that, please do so. His response was immature, racist, violent, threatening and obscene, and it will NOT be tolerated here.

As per my standing orders: terminate with extreme prejudice.

Let me know what actions can / will be taken. I won't allow this level of disrespect here in the Barracks. period.

Now, back to our roster, already in progress...

And what an eventful day it's been! Our last visitor was so eloquent, I was left speechless... and shaking my head.

I've been having some PC problems lately, but I've been spending time working on music and modding. Otherwise, been studying historical criticism, theology, and reading Meccan Trade and the Rise of Islam. Gonna make an update in a few minutes on what I've been doing, since I haven't FP'ed anything in a while, hit the portal, and hit the bed. Gotta run tomorrow. One of my friends has a heart condition, and she wants someone to sit with her since her parents are going out of town. Not to worry -- she has surgery soon; they're gonna zap a couple nerves, and that should stop the tachycardia and irregular heartbeat.

I've been peeping @GUTHRIE's stats for a while now. Awesome dedication.

As per my standing orders: terminate with extreme prejudice.

Not to worry, Commander. We've got you covered.

Let me know what actions can / will be taken. I won't allow this level of disrespect here in the Barracks. period.

I'm not one to backseat anything, but yeah, that was beyond uncalled for. Usually @NekoMika and @Exedor are around to nip things in the bud, but regardless of who handles it or how, I don't think we'll have a repeat episode for a while.

To @comehahahacum, I'm guessing you're a school kid from the pic spam, poor spelling, and Shingeki no Kyoujin pendant. A word of advice. Grow up. Acting a fool is only going to get you in trouble both here and in RL. It's not worth it, seriously. Learn to take it on the chin, pick yourself up off the floor, and do better next time.

Congrats! @Big-Boss, nice milestone!

Another great update, @byteslinger! o7

And we have another replaced SWF!

They are both the same very poor game, but one is enlarged.

Should they be dealt with, or just given a nice round score?

I didn't see anything flag-worthy there, just two garbage-tier games. Blam and move on.
