It's a flash submission, so make sure those work for you. It's working fine for me, just takes a while to load, but it has a preloader.

Man I sure do love me some exclusives of Geometry Dash game play on Newgrounds.

I don't know what to file this under, so if I could be told what to flag it for for future reference that'd be a good help.

Positively encouraged in what sense? I'd say they're tolerated at best.

If you don't know, flag it as whatever, BUT, put in a comment so we know what's up.

In the sense they're not:


a) banned

b) blammed?

Looking through that profile and then the youtube channel, it seems like every single video on that Newgrounds profile is stolen. The account should be banned in my opinion. I've reported all of their videos.

After a bit of digging, I found another similar channel. Their videos are also stolen from this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR2uUVbCJOHdJfSRWQw4Uw , more specifically this playlist.

EDIT:I just found another https://joe98.newgrounds.com

It's likely all 3 of these are run by the same person, considering they're all stealing from similar sources.

There have been a few RPG maker games that have passed judgement and I don't think they've been removed, so I guess as long as they put in good effort they're allowed.

Damn, can't believe they've been doing this for about a month now. What is it about Christian cartoons that would drive someone to steal with 3 separate accounts?


Speaking of which, they are back with more.

If you look at that user's BBS posts, they are linking to the Youtube videos. I think it might be the same person. Wouldn't hurt to send a Youtube DM or something.

I really doubt that, and even if they are the youtuber, some of the youtube videos themselves appear to be taken from other places. Linking to the original youtube channel means nothing because the youtube channel itself has not provided any proof they own most of the stuff in the videos they post and to be honest, while I try to be open minded these videos seem like really shitty religious propaganda. I don't think anyone here would care if they were gone. Also, there's still the matter of 3 multiple accounts posting the same videos. I don't think that's allowed.

It definitely matches other patterns of submitting stolen content, and you're probably right, I just want to be cautious!

I'm checking into this. In the mean time, I'd suggest you avoid posting comments like this before we moderators have investigated and made a determination.

You may want to pay attention too, @Lizzardis, before you flag your "goldmine."

Either way, hopefully I made the right call.


You did. It's too fishy to be legit. As a mod myself, I agree with you. It's either stolen, or a weak spamming attempt, and either way, it's a point well made.

This is tripping my stolen submission alarm. The art is good quality but it's a 30 minute loop. The icon doesn't match. And the user hasn't submitted anything else. Anybody seen this before? My google-fu hasn't brought anything up yet.

You may want to pay attention too, @Lizzardis, before you flag your "goldmine."

By the way @Exedor, I know you might not be happy with me posting this guys links at the moment but I'm mainly posting them because if you guys do deem them as stolen, people can still flag them once you've made that decision, yet ever so slightly before you delete them as to gain those sweet sweet whistle points!

What if we deem them not stolen? Sweet sweet whistle points turn into sour loss of rank.


Blam clubs have been banned. That's when one user posts about a submission and others pile on. Group flaggings are dealt with severely. Why? Because users are not flagging because they discovered a rulebreaking submission, but because someone else reported something that may or may not be the case. Whistle rank is not a gift, to get your friends up to some level. It's a badge that shows you have discerned correctly with your reporting. When you post and people flag based only on your post, they could lose what little rank they have, and what they may have earned with real effort.


It's not difficult to get and keep rank. There's plenty of E rated nudes that come thru the Art Portal. There are stolen songs kids post to use in Geometry Dash. There is a user who has a Deity whistle and only flags correctly about 2 out of 3 flags. That means about one third are wrong. Somehow, he keeps his whistle rank, so he doesn't know how often he misses the mark, but it's a lot.


What we really should be doing here is waiting til most things pass Judgement before removing them. They only need to be removed if they don't get blammed, right? That way, we'd get those sweet and rare Blam Points. This thread was intended for quick action against the real-porn clip submissions, or the screamers that take over your printer, or stolen content that would pass. Gameplay videos might pass, so we remove them before that happens. But we all lose a lot of Blam Points on things that are reported and removed quickly instead of being left a bit longer to be blammed.


I'm just wondering though, in all seriousness, how exactly do you mods investigate & come to a determination in cases like this? Would you contact the accounts author? Or do something else?

All of the above. I've contacted authors here on Newgrounds, but also via other sites. We do searches and contact via social media sites and various other things. Sometimes, it takes users a while to post a reply over there, so we can't do too much over here right away. If it takes a few days, well, we'll have 25 things to remove instead of 20 or 15. Not that big of a deal. But, what if those 15 or 20 or 25 were legit and were flagged? Now, can you see the potential hit to someone's rank? If we determine them to be crap and we remove them, then you can post the "he's at it again" posts. But until they're officially so, it's ok to back off on posting about every single one.


Hope that sheds some light on it all.

This guy has been posting a lot of SFM content to the art portal, this being his latest example:


According to the NG Wiki, under Art:

"Do not submit images made from public files (such as scene creators). Content created using 'scene creator' programs does not count as your creation. The artist who created the game also created the pieces, so the art is considered to be their work.

This includes art made with Source Filmmaker; if you did not create the character models, please do not share your piece in the Art Portal. If you are creating your own models and your work is removed, PM Tom. Also be careful not to produce the art equivalent of shovelware, by uploading large numbers of similar entries to the Art Portal. Activity such as this lead to a growing community backlash against SFM. We are looking at ways to address this long-term but for now it is a touchy category."


I have this assessment about correct, right?
