I can only speak for myself 100% but I also don't know any mod who will actively punish someone if the intent is right. Our option to punish usually applies to people who spam it, use it to attack the artist, or other weird things (it happens). We do also have the option to "clear" a flag with no outcome (no reward or punishment for the flagger).

Generally its a little more clear cut for things which are stolen (please provide a source where possible) or otherwise clearly rulebreaking (live action porn, porn rated E, etc).

Keep an eye in here, or @ZomAlien just offered to help as well. Also there are 9 stolen items on this page by one submitter (two accounts, you'll see them) which could probably be flagged before the individual gets nerfed (in about...45 minutes once I finish supper).

I sent you a PM. I think I know who the guy is, I just don't want to say it here in public.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

That dude sure like Brazilian music. All nine tracks are now gone. Pick away at others as you are able.

Sure will. By the way, how can I know if they are stolen?

Some of them are blatantly obvious (listing artist and song name) others more subtle.

Things to look for:

An artist name which isn't the uploader (common ones: NCS, Alan Walker)

May include "GD" or Geometry Dash in the description (an indicator, but legitimate artists do tag that)

Gibberish keyboard mashing in title, tags, or comments (akjdgksajdbg, 08708786)

Ok, thanks a lot.

Is this sort of thing permitted? Posting seven "trailers" in a week for games of his that have been in the Portal for months already?

I'll check into it. Give us some time to review the submissions and decide. :)

Gameplay of Magic: The Gathering with no original animation.

This I'm not sure about, it's a single image edited in spooooky ways with music. I'd hesitate to call it a movie, but I'm not sure if it breaks the rules. If anyone could get back to me on that, that'd be great.

What's the policy on epilepsy-based content? https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/demonyes/epilepsy

In fact, really, the last few "pixel art" submissions he's submitted are pretty damn low effort.

This one I had flagged as stolen already, because the source was so easy to search.

Submissions with intentional epilepsy triggers are usually best flagged as Spam, but it's a hard call to make. Sometimes it's just a stupid low effort joke (the kids call them "memes" these days) and doesn't really deserve a flag. I don't think there's an explicit rule concerning submissions with rapid flashing lights.

Pretty nsfw for a E rated post. I made a report already but wanted to see if you guys agree with this

( I mean unless this is an alternate universe and skimpy Nicole is very e rated xp )

I reported it as well just to throw another flag in the mix. It should be rated Mature.

Why is it called "Fit Nicole"? She looks fuckin anorexic. What have they done to you!?

Cuz she fits into a T rating.

Posting this for context:

So the person who has done this piece has started review-bombing my "work" and has been leaving abusive reviews on it. He's just PM'd me as well, I guess as revenge. I've Reported everything, but I don't know what else I can or should do.

You can also add them to your Blocked Users List. A review mod will take a look at the flags when they are able to.

Hello, Private Dovod. Thank you for your interest in joining the barracks. I see that RO General @Perigrinus has responded to you, and some members have already given you feedback regarding your whistle. I have reviewed your account history, and other than polishing up that whistle, you're in pretty good shape.

I also know that improving your whistle can be tricky, especially if you are not sure how to make it work. But with the help of the fine folks here, I am certain it will improve shortly.

That being said, let's see you get to a bronze whistle by working through the abusive reviews and figuring out proper flagging techniques. I think that shouldn't take very long, as our crew are experts in such details. Work with them, and before you know it, it will be bronze - then silver, etc. When you reach bronze, we will confirm your application.

So, get out there soldier, and show us what you've got!

*Salutes*

EGSC byteslinger,

Chief Barracks Officer.

Cringe is not a flaggable offense here. Try to remember that in the future because all of your posts here are nearly incomprehensible. If you're actually making an effort to help out and not just trolling, thank you for your help. Please try to post useful comments along with the submissions you think are breaking the rules. As an example, you could say these submissions are spam.

Doesn't look like any animation in the second one, the first one I'm not sure about.

Thanks a lot, officer, although I'm not too sure what you mean by flagging the "Abusive reviews", as I've been working on my whistle mainly by flagging content in the audio and art section, primarly the audio one.

Hey, I just noticed. I've achieved the bronze whistle. What now?

Awesome, we'll let the chain of command decide what next.

Keep improving your whistle status if you like!

Cool. Thanks.

Hmm. Both seem blamable to me to say the least. Idk if any of the clips used in the first one would fall under any copyright stuff.

It's been like a day, slow down, hotshot. Lmao good for you though, that was really damn quick. Guess you'll be joining soon. :)

Thanks. Yeah, I mean, Peregrinus was right. The un-scouted part of the audio section is full of stolen tracks. Also, the ocassional earrape and a little help from Shazam and the Audio Portal Cleanup and it wasn't really difficult to level up. Still, I suppose it'll take me more time and point to reach the other whistles, right?

Seems to me like game was taken (description says the uploader isn't the one who made it)

Anyone gonna acknowledge the fact this guy talks exclusively in boldtalics?
