If you've got a user that's churning out a lot of one word reviews, shall I just flag one of them and indicate the issue as I've just done, or flag the lot of them?

Flag them all or if you'd prefer to be more cautious. PM a Review Mod. Exedor or NekoMika would be your best options.

So why don't you Flag it?

Thanks for the update, @byteslinger. Your dedication to the group is impressive.

Also, what is going on with this user?

Does that mean that these are okay in the future? If the author makes a series?

It's a judgement I've always taken. As long as it has some animation I let it slide.

Within the first minute. You gotta step up your game, @doctorstrongbad.

This is an edit of Hyun's Stick Figure Spotlight animations, the author admits it. I found some of the clips in

this video

, too, so you know.

I feel bad for this guy. He just wants criticism. I'll reach out to him and give him some criticism through the PMs.

Good find, @TheReviewTrickster. I knew I recognized it from somewhere, I just couldn't pinpoint it. And thanks for using the PMs to provide feedback.

This poor kid submitted a super old online Minesweeper clone

Here's the original:

His profile says he wants to be a programmer and he has two other submissions. I don't think they're stolen, though.

Advertising.

Wrong rating (it isn't A rated); uses "Luis Fonsi - Despacito ft. Daddy Yankee" (Label: Universal)

(in case it survives the judgement phase...I'm not putting money on that)

Edit for more:

Music: Crystal Pride - Thousand Nights (label: Mill Records)

Thanks to whoever took the other stuff down.

Same user as the "advertising" one above. Another desktop capture, with a bit about how to transfer cryptocurrency at the end.

This two are not animations, just a couple of music tracks with visualizers :

Badly copied Fruit Ninja, not sure if this warrants removal.

If he didn't credited the original author, it may be removed. Looks like that thumbnail and background is stolen.

Made the judgement.

Took it down.

Not sure what to do with this one. The art is original and it counts as a parody, but it uses Neon Genesis Evangelion opening music. I really don't wanna flag it, because I feel we can afford to let stuff with effort slide. It's transformative. Then again we could get sued. But probably not. I don't know. These cases can be tough,, but I just tend ot think parodying things like this is what makes it worthy of sparing.

So the label for that doesn’t actively enforce the copyright for it. They have DMCA’d media now and again if someone is clearly trying to make a buck on an unchanged upload of the song, but in general Japanese media companie are more lax for copyright enforcement as the interpretation of “fair use” is more broad than in the US.

One reason for lower enforcement is that it “grows the brand” through fan art/ media reference/ memes (which Cruel Angels Thesis has hit meme status) as it helps continue merchandise sales for completed series like NGE.

The label (Starchild) doesn’t appear to seek lawsuit normally, just a polite ask for removal or failing that a DMCA to pull media which is just a content rip (full episodes, full track uploads with no added content). The song has also been sampled and covered a bunch of times, which is something to consider.

(Not saying let it slide, not my call, just a perspective on enforcement if anyone is interested)

That means there is no copyright violation according to the original author(s). Alright in my book then.
