Well, it's Clock Day 2018 - or as we call it, Wednesday. We might see an uptick on some spammy submissions, but it's nothing like it was in 2008- 2009, when you could count on over 1,000 entries hitting the portal in 24 hours. It was insane, and most of them were upvoted because, well, it was Clock Day.

Fast-forward 10 years, and all those Clock Crew members (and their friends) have grown up, got jobs and moved on without Newgrounds - with very few following their legacy. But we will always have a soft spot for the infamous Strawberry Clock, and "B"...

Enough nostalgia - back to work, folks, nothing to see here (ah, but it would have been a sight to see!)

Happy Clock Day, everyone. Vote 5 responsibly!
Hell no. Vote 2 responsibly! Don't give crap any extra credit that they don't deserve, everybody! And, there are always some blam points available, even on Clock Day.

There's actually a lot of cool stuff so far. Though I always try to vote as honestly as possible (it's been mostly 4s since I'm in the holiday spirit)

I've got a message off to them already. If they don't remove the extras, we will. We give them the opportunity to act first, tho. So, don't nobody freak out if they're not removed immediately. Have to give them a bit of time to get the message first. :)

No worries pal

Out of interest, not knowing exactly how the Portal mod system works since it came into place after I left the mod team, do you still see flags after a submission has passed judgment? (edit - if this is a mod only need to know thing then ignore obv)

And, that's all it usually takes. Check now.

Yup. A flag is a flag. The only time it disappears is if the account itself is deleted.

Slideshow of video game maps

If that was somewhat more impressive visually and they'd redrawn the graphics that could have been good, but as it is, yep, taken down.

It was the "AYE I DIDN'T OWN THIS STUFF" in the author comments that got me.

NSFWish (moreso links out)

From FurAffinity user

mok850 (NSFW link)

. The uploader's username doesn't match the watermark, and the art style of their art portal submission (stickmen) is a far cry from animated furry porn.

I don't have a direct link to either full source, but the watermark and contents match the FA user's content. I took a quick look around submissions and scraps but I think they were linked out commissions (which are on the site somewhere).

I have a feeling “furry inflation fetish” doesn’t count as T rated.

Hi there! I’ll refer you to the recruitment officer Sgt. @ADR3-N, but in the meantime take a look into the details of the EGB ROTC Program.

Minimum Requirements for Entry into the ROTC program:

1. A Blam/Protect rank of "Portal Security" or above (400 B/P minimum).
2. Normal Whistle status (Bronze would be nice).
3. Sufficient posting quality (minimal one-liners, intelligent posts that contribute to threads, etc).
4. Sufficient review quality (helpful and civil, with constructive criticism, regardless of the flash or author).
5. No outstanding bans or recent disreputable behavior.
6. No zero-effort flashes (static images, single frames, tiny loops, etc).

Basically the EGB encourages its membership to be active, positive contributors to Newgrounds.

If you have any questions, let us know!

As @Peregrinus mentioned, the requirements are as follows.

Minimum Requirements for Entry into the ROTC program:

1. A Blam/Protect rank of "Portal Security" or above (400 B/P minimum).

Currently you're sitting at 11 B/P. Spend some time voting in UJ (fairly) and it shouldn't take very long to climb up the ranks. Note @Guthrie occasionally manages 1,000 in a month. You may appreciate Portal Guard 3.

2. Normal Whistle status (Bronze would be nice).

Normal whistle is fine for the ROTC program, but you will want to work toward silver during your enrollment.

3. Sufficient posting quality (minimal one-liners, intelligent posts that contribute to threads, etc).

Currently, you don't have enough posts for me to make an accurate judgment. Most you have made have been fine. Keep posting. ;)

4. Sufficient review quality (helpful and civil, with constructive criticism, regardless of the flash or author).

Your review quality should be fine over time. Focus on constructive criticism.

5. No outstanding bans or recent disreputable behavior.

I don't think that needs to be said.

6. No zero-effort flashes (static images, single frames, tiny loops, etc).

You don't have any of these, but I did check your audio. Everything checks out.

@UsernameNotTaken1, so far, you need 389 more B/P to qualify for the EGB, as well as some additional posts and reviews if you want to wear the uniform. Just because you don't qualify doesn't mean you can't come back and drop reports at the front desk in the meantime. None of us made the cut when we started out, so don't be discouraged; get back out there and give 'em hell!
