Thanks for the roster, EGC @Peregrinus - nice job for the first one published! Looks like May was a fairly good month in the Barracks - well done, everyone! It is an honor and a privilege to serve besides you all.

*Salutes*

Lovely update, @Peregrinus. Thanks for putting in the work!

Also, I'm gonna say there's a 0% chance (within appropriate margin of error) that this profile is not really TheOdd1sOut, given the level of care used in its creation.

Their earlier stolen submission was deleted but the account still lives.

I know, I removed the submission and contacted Tom.

Not the first time someone has tried to impersonate him.

Is this allowed (real naked people)? To check, click on Play, then the door farthest away from Office and then click on "Let's go".

From Here.

From Here.

And finally:

No source, but the previous two from same submitter are stolen. Odds are...

NOPE! Pulled it. ...the submission. Nothing else... <_<

Well it's like they said in the description, it's spam and it's rather loud too.

Does this game work for any of you? All I see is a blue screen after it loads.

The game doesn't work for me, it's just a blue screen.

Boy I remember this heart attack.

It was everyone's first heart attack.

This is about the fourth or fifth version of this game that I've seen in the Portal in the last week. Now if you're not going to ban this type of shit altogether, there has to be a limit to how many times someone can upload a demo in a short amount of time - what can you possibly improve on that sort of update cycle?

Ok. How many are present at the moment?

That's not your department.

There is: 2 per day limit.

I dunno. Vote 0 and move on.

Are you reporting something legitimate, or just bitching and moaning? you're ....kinda good at sorta one of those things. Sorta. Maybe.

At some point it goes beyond "legitimate" demo improvements and is spam. You're right I don't like these things at all, and back in the good old days they simply weren't allowed, but a lot of them do actually take some time between iterations and seem to actually make some improvements, which is kind of fair enough. The frequency of this guy cannot possibly be doing that.

I guess I should just make a ten second Madness movie (as they also seem to be almost immune to being blammed), have it do little apart from shoot a gun and plug my website, and then just add another couple of frames or a different bit of background every day, call it Hot Furry Anal v0.186946 WIP and profit. It's the 2019 Newgrounds way I guess.

As an aside, has anyone seen ANY of these things actually get completed?

You think any submission that goes through more than one or two stages is spam, so I see no truth in your statement here. Your flags always say otherwise. I'm sorry, but it is the truth.

There's the moaning that Exedor mentioned. Exaggerated moaning, too.

This is ONE user that you're freaking out about and the previous versions of their current game were removed several days ago. We do our best to keep several versions of a game still in progress to a limit of two. Does it always happen right away? No, because us Portal mods have our own lives. You flipping out doesn't help anyone. We WILL get around to it.

If it gets to the point where a user is submitting versions everyday or extremely frequently with little to no improvements, we will obviously take serious action beyond just removing the submissions. But complaining every time that a game has three demo versions instead of two isn't going to do anything. Especially if the latest demo just got uploaded five minutes ago and none of us Portal mods have had time to take action because we have lives outside of Newgrounds.

Be patient. If you have legitimate concerns, report them appropriately, not angrily.

Should this be flagged for not containing animations?

You're both missing the point. I can just about live with the current amount of demos that someone can have if it's never going to be reverted to the glory days of Newgrounds. Most of them do at least wait a while and will have made some changes, many of them even having a changelog to say what they've done. What I do have an issue is seeing the same game coming up multiple times a week, even if the previous versions have been deleted, because they're adding next to nothing each time (as they don't have enough time between submissions to possibly do so), and are only doing so in order for their submissions to keep showing up in the latest games/movies tabs multiple times a week, begging for some naive user to visit their Patreon in the hope that they'll get someone to send them money to develop the game (which, 99% of the time, will never be finished).

It's just like emails - if a company's sending me something every week or so, that's fine. If it's to the point where I'm noticing them more than I'm noticing legitimate mail, it becomes spam and gets dealt with as such. At least in my email account it does, anyway.

I see no point in replying further here, nobody is going to do anything about a problem if they don't even perceive it to be one

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

You're acting like there are a hundred users per week doing this or something. There has only been two users in the past week who have submitted several versions of their current game, which all got removed except for the most recent ones. After that, I can't even remember the last time a user did that.

And yes, I know you have a problem with that whole Patreon thing, but do you really think ALL of those people are attracting any serious revenue or attention by putting a link in the description of their submission? A lot of them don't make anything. As for some names on Newgrounds that have hundreds of followers here, their Patreons have hundreds of followers as well and are actually updating and working on their game. You can easily see that by visiting their Patreon.

Stolen material from Ice Age and Lion King.

"This game isn't mine, i'm only uploading this, because i couldn't find this on newgrounds."

Removed.

Is this allowed? It's basically the same game, but he added an ending when the user goes to the pond.

No, that's definitely not allowed.

Jesus Christ, I haven't seen that game since second grade! Wow, these thieves are really digging things up.

Stolen Lion King footage.

This is just a song

They just added sound, they don't mention anywhere if they had permission to use the animation.

though he added audio to this short animation clip he didnt make it himself. i posted a comment asking if he got perms to post that video by the original creator but wanna put this here too just incase- not sure if this is an issue or not
