This 2 games (neither of which worked for me btw) share a very uncommon tag : "oparin"

Alexander Oparin was a Russian biochemist, notable for his contributions to the theory of the origin of life on Earth, and particularly for the “primordial soup” theory of the evolution of life from carbon-based molecules. Oparin also devoted considerable effort to enzymology and helped to develop the foundations of industrial ...

Also both user names are common female Latin American names.

Both users speak spanish...

It may be nothing, but still, It's 3 coincidences.

@NekoMika, Are they alts?

I switched both to http so that might change things. Didn't for me; they don't load, it seems. Anyone else getting them to work? For now, vote appropriately I guess. If they don't work, they'll be blammed. I don't want to remove them yet, since Construct2 games usually work, so I want to see if they pass or not. We can always revisit them later.

Same for me, still not working. Hopefully NekoMika will solve the mystery.

It's easy enough to spot stolen audio when you're looking. Anything with vocals is a red flag esp. if they're polished, and they almost always help out by using the original title and often with the original artist's name included.

I think most of the ones which I've come across/flagged were by users doubling down submitting stolen Flash Portal things. I really should spend more time in the Audio Portal again.

Can't be unseen. But someone in power decided the same and removed it.

In case you haven't come across it yet there's an Audio Portal Cleanup thread where you can post stolen audio if you do get into it. It's less tedious than reporting individual tracks given the volume of thefts.

Awesome, thanks for that. Maybe I'll take a look on the weekend, find some good NG original content.

A total of 14 submissions so far since 09 April have used the "oparin" tag (11 cleared judgement, 3 under judgement).

Oparin is a school (elementary through University) in Mexico, so I'm thinking it's the result of a computer class since it's all in a short time frame and sharing a tag/real names as usernames. Newgrounds is admittedly a super easy way to create an account with minimal info, and upload up to 2 things a day (plus dumping grounds, project sharing, etc). They were all made in Construct 2, which is an inexpensive software for building games. Much like how they had my generation make Java games in CompSci class, Construct is likely one of the current options on the cheap.

There's also a wide range of quality that came out of them, and none seem to match up in any search as being stolen. I did find an animator with Oparin as the last name, but his stuff isn't games, and not anything on NG.

@Exedor for your consideration.

That explanation would make perfect sense and tie all the coincidences , except for the not working aspect.
I guess Sandra and Marisol won't get good grades on that class :D

Every class, even those where all students volunteer to participate, will have one outlier on either end of the bell curve. Some people just don't get the explanations no matter how material is taught. Most do well enough for the grade, and one or two do much better.

I guess Sandra and Marisol won't get good grades on that class :D

I suppose that is the downside of NG as a cheap hosting platform: the community input into whether their projects survive.

If the theory is sound, I expect we'll get 5-10 more submissions with the tag (if the class is 20-25 students), then it'll stop. There might be a second wave come end of term.

Thank you for the introduction, EGSM @Peregrinus. I will review Private @RightTime 's service record with LCBO EGSC @Big-Boss and SLCBO EGSC @GameJunkie and we will render our decision shortly.

As for you Private, I recommend reviewing our Code of Conduct, The EGB Manifesto and our FAQ .

In the meantime, keep up the good work at the front lines!

As for Private @RightTime. I see the Private's conduct in the forums is relatively becoming of an EGB member. Your B/P rate is low, but that isn't a huge problem. I am, however, worried about your lack of reviews. You should try to leave some helpful reviews in the future. It looks like the two reviews you have on flash submissions are a result of you seeking out the lowest scoring submissions in the portal and bashing them. That's fine in moderation, but we seek to help elevate the level of content on the Portal as a whole. This involves leaving constructive reviews on good submissions too! An ideal EGB member reviews content organically, through an ongoing effort to protect the Portal from bad submissions, and to give positive feedback to authors who are doing good work.

I see a lot of potential in Private @RightTime, and my recommendation is of tentative approval on the grounds that he work on reviewing more submissions.

From what I can tell the original is here. Also Camilla Cabello apparently hates the parody.

No, you're right. The flag category would be "music" as they don't have rights to the parody or the original track.

I am a lowly normal whistled town watch. I apologize again if this caused any trouble.

No trouble, and everyone starts with normal. I encourage you to continue flagging as appropriate, and you'll rank up in time. Every little bit helps!
