So, I should mainly focus on Cleaning up the Audio Portal? Not quite experienced to the ratings and standards of Newgrounds, so this might not be the easiest thing to do accurately. See you, sir!

I would definitely not focus on submissions with improper content ratings unless it's an egregious misclassification; something like pornography being rated E. Other than that, it's a subjective thing and you're bound to mess up your whistle sooner or later (as you've learned).

Going through the Audio Portal and flagging stolen audio is a really easy way to improve your whistle level because there are tons of stolen audio submissions and it's an objective classification.

Good luck!

AP is a good place to start because despite everyone’s best efforts we still see 10+ stolen submissions a day. I’ll be returning to my regular listmaking soon, but in the meantime there are always submissions which are easy bait by including where they stole them from. A quick look (I’m on mobile) yields some easy low-hanging fruit like this:

Which is stolen from NCS on youtube. Song name, artist, and link are all there for ease of including in a flag report. I’ll toss my own flag on that submission once I’m back on desktop in maybe 1 hr (2:30pm est).

No sweat, Commander. I consider it a courtesy we aren't making like the Wi/Ht LU lounge, honestly.

However, just to let you all know - I plan on moving all of these utilities to a web/server based set of programs that are mobile-friendly in the next few months. The new site will have the functionality of NGLogs, with automatic monthly data collection for automated list management - and even a page that will replace Portal Guard. All of the NG Log history will be converted and transferred, so no one should worry. I have been working on this for a while, and the pieces are falling into place.

Double cool. I've been anticipating this. I'll warm up to the lack of a Portal Guard app eventually I suppose. Although I still really would like something like that so I don't have to have my Opera open all the time.

Tbh I've been thinking of learning to code for Android and making myself a mobile app that will track unscouted audio.

I've been in touch with Tom and the developers here and they are kicking around the idea of creating an API that I can use to gather user info, rather than scraping web pages. That would be cool - but I figure that will wait until they are finished settling in with the other site changes here in Newgrounds.

YAY

I handled that audio flag you posted. Since everyone else recommended the AP as a source for whistle points, I wrote a guide some time ago. It's kind of long, but hey.

PM me if you have questions or if you think I should update it. It really has been a while.

Welcome to the audio grind @agg1. I went from a bronze whistle to a deity purely through audio flagging, getting to a normal or bronze shouldn't take long at all. (edit: you already have normal, wew)

Barracks Roster as of May 1st, 2018:

Finally, spring is here - and the portal is in full bloom! April was an amazingly active month, with over 5,000 BP points earned among everyone in the Barracks.

Congrats to now Sgt. Major Peregrinus, who not only was promoted, but gathered over 1,300 BP points and submitted 45 informative posts to our thread. Talk about coming back alive with a vengeance! Additionally, Jackho was promoted to Praporshchik - he's definitely picked up his pace with over 475 points and 17 thread posts.

Well done, soldiers! *Salutes*

Commander Guthrie is still pounding the portal, with more than 1,200 points and 20 posts this month. At his current rate, he will reach Supreme Commander by the end of July. Impressive! *Salutes*

And last, but not least, our esteemed RECO, Sgt. Adr3-n, has been very busy trying to drum up some new members, answering inquiries and being supportive. Hopefully, we'll see some fresh ROTC members soon. Keep up the great work! *Salutes*

I thank you all for all of your hard work, effort and dedication. You make me proud to be part of the Barracks, and it is a privilege and honor serving with you all!

I'll salute to that. Also, big up to @Peregrinus for all the help in AP cleanup as well. I'm still cleaning out some of that backlog.

Ps: Thanks for sharing AP Flagging, For Dummies. In all respects, I probably need to update and condense it some more.

Hihi! Hope you're ready for Pico Day tomorrow.

Question:
Pure video (no animation) isn't expressly against the rules but is considered to be not in line with the site's history and function. I keep seeing videos flagged and removed by the mods. What category does that fall under?
