Also to be noted. On the Art portal seems to be a lot of "M" rated material that carries heavy sexual content, some flat out are "A" rated pornography, and questionable material, such as characters depicted under age. Since the practical fall of Tumblr this has increased drastically in the Art portal, being flooded with NSFW material. I'll keep an eye on content that violates such policies, I've already had a few today. Just something to consider. Keep doing good work, everyone.
Private, ZomAlien out. *Salutes*

This is pornography.

Yikes. ok. I did my part on flagging it.

Good job. I flagged it as well.

Yeesh. That is forbidden, is it not? Not counting the normal live-action rules, live-action pornography is forbidden in all cases?

Yes, it is forbidden. That is why I reported it.

Correct. Removed now, thanks for the report. Bound to have a few of those submitted with this weird increase of A-rated submissions lately.

You are very welcome. We all have to be vigilant in protecting the portal.

Thank yo ufor doing so. I would have missed it for sure since I'm kinda put off the under judgment section right now, what with all the hentai.

The same thing is happening in the Movie portal. I like that we're getting more traffic, due to the whole Tumblr situation, but holy fuck, there are too many A rated animations coming through, some of which aren't properly rated. I guess it's a good way for users to get whistle points, though.

...life? Or death? Yes, there are more new artists coming, but how many "clean" artists will stand and stay when their work is displayed surrounded by dicks and futas and fluid sprays? If there was a way to cancel Supporter status and get a refund, I think we'd have many artists fleeing. As it is, they'll leave and nothing will be immediately noticeable, til a year from now when no renewals happen.

Newgrounds has always had A rated content. But it was still a clean place where people came to display their creations and learn new things. With this much porn, it's become a fappy place, not a artist haven and learning center. :\

There is no clean way out of this now. They're here and the only way to get rid of them is to sacrifice our integrity and reputation just when it's getting rebuilt. A restriction on the number of daily A-rated movies? But that would still piss people off. A hentai portal? An option to use filters when sorting through under judgment stuff? That might actually help a lot. It's a simple solution, but adding filters to under judgment could work. Every other part of the site has it, so why not? It wouldn't alienate the porn guys since the option would be visible, unlike Tumblr, which blocked searches and added an automatic "safe mode", from what I can tell. It would also be fairly simple to implement, I'm guessing, and people who don't wanna see porn won't see it. Like everywhere else. If the problem gets relaly bad, a separate section (with justas much visibility) could be added.

Provide proof when you report something, even if it is blatantly stolen.

That's probably the newbies who don't understand ratings yet. Good job on flagging them! Hopefully they'll get the message.

Flagging is the best thing that we can do. At least, for now.

Yes, I have been trying to go a little bit easy on the newer members. There will be a learning curve with some of them.

No, you shouldn't go easy. The art doesn't get deleted anyways, and you really need to flag this stuff. You can send them a PM to help them out, but don't go easy with the flags.

There's very little difference between these two submissions

Not sure it's worth doing anything about, but I thought I would bring it up

So is this where I go to discuss questionable content? I'm actually looking for advice on this submission:

It seems this slideshow was made by a voice actress. The video is just her voice acting over the panels of a webcomic. While she credited the person who made the comics, I have no idea whether she has asked the artist for permission.

https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/722221 Looks like just gameplay footage, just needed a second opinion.

My opinion is you're right. Good find! There is some editing, but that's just normal let's-play stuff. There is no original narrative or animation that I can see in my skimming of it.

This guy https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/722244 Appears to have taken this game from this website https://www.meetandfuckgames.com/famous-toon/sparring-partner/ With the game having a completely different title than it has on the original website, with the creator being "Serega" and has no evidence of such content belonging to this particular user. The one user I can find with such content from that website is this user https://vadimgod.newgrounds.com/ . I'm going to go ahead and flag it, it looks sketchy. Just thought I share with you guys too, just in case.

All those opinions are correct, submission removed. Also thanks for the other report, that one was indeed stolen.

I feel a bit iffy on these. On the one hand, they are adding voices to it. On the other hand, it is technically a slideshow unless they are animating parts of it. I have seen things like this in the past but I think they either got removed or blammed due to extremely poor quality and essentially just being slide shows. @TomFulp, thoughts on this?

I think this could be ok if the comic creators are on board with it - they are both active on Twitter so I could try confirming with them and see if they'd be down for having a Newgrounds account. Ideally this entry could co-author them as well.

I agree with all of this. I'm not really opposed to NSFW content myself, but I can no longer comfortably browse UJ if someone else is in the room and would currently hesitate to recommend the site to anyone who hasn't already seen some shit. NG becoming an NSFW haven would be cool in a way but I don't think that's the site Tom or any of the big contributors wanted NG to be.

I think the obvious solution is just to filter it out, like Trickster suggested, but keep it easily viewable even if you're not logged in. Maintaining creator freedom and opposing censorship is something NG has been good for in the past and it's a more valuable stance today than ever before.

A picture and a song,. No animation at all.

There's someone spamming game portal with these default asset games with nothing of value in them. All of them are uploaded by a different account made the exact same day. All of them use the same basic level, with same character, and spikes.

They all have names like Chupakabrik, Alan Korn, Chupakabrik adventure etc. These are pretty much the most worst type of spam.

Cleaned that garbage up by removing all of those, even keeping one of them is not warranted due to this clearly malicous behaviour. Thanks for the report.

Annoying, isn't he/she? There's no rule against submitting crappy submissions, per se. He submits about 1 per day now. That being said, I have him under review, and am hoping to get approval to act on all those same ol' same ol' submissions. He definitely has a one track mind, eh? As always, v0te appr0priately, however you desire. ;)

Not an animation. There is a water mark from another account.

Found some animations that use copyrighted music without permission. I don't think this is allowed.

The second half of this submissions uses DMX's X gon' give it to ya.

• Unpublished Submission

The animation is really solid though. Hopefully they'll re-upload a clean version of it later.

This one uses Queen's "It's a kind of magic"

• Unsuitable Submission

  This submission contains age-rated material and requires an account to view.

It isn't and they have been taken down.
