This is a very philosophical discussion that's really not able to be had here. Everything by Everyone means what it means. Everyone also needs to participate in judgement voting. Not everything that is crap breaks da rules.

Maybe it's because people have high standards for quality?

Everything by Everyone does mean as you describe, but I don't remember ever going through 60 submissions under judgment and feeling wanting more. Many of them were 10 seconds or less and had almost nothing too them. I'm not trying to complain but it feels like the old days of the clock crew spamming the place. Not saying all were bad, but many were challenged.

People are less patient. We've always had the people who put time and effort into their creations and submitted something good or great, and then the other peeps who wanted to submit something good or great, but chose to go the easier route and supply less effort, and as such, submitted something that fell short. We all have the choice to do mediocre, or do good, or do great. We just have to choose to, and actually DO what's necessary. And, that's the hard part. It's hard to make something great. If it was easy, everyone would do it, and nothing would have any value, because everything's easy. You can tell who's been putting in effort in the gym and who isn't. You can tell who is reaping the rewards for the effort, and who's reaping the rewards (or consequenses) of not. As time goes on, people want more, faster, and when they don't see the results in a short time, they give up and we get a 10 second awesome that's incomplete, or a 30 second half-ass that gets the score it deserves. Can't change them, but you can choose for yourself. Hope for the best. Encourage to be better and to keep at it. But, wield the power of the blam when necessary.


Everyone also needs to participate in judgement voting. Not everything that is crap breaks da rules.

True on both points!

Thank God for the ability to blam things off the site! If only more people understood the power of the almighty blam point.

There are a moderate percentage of I-didn't-try submissions. With all the easy-create software, people don't have the attention span to create the great animations that made Flash a star.

Many of them were 10 seconds or less and had almost nothing too them.

Kinda like sex. Um. Forget I said that. Move on.

Actually, we hated the spam and low quality, and warned of the days when low quality would be the norm. Well, guess what...

Guthrie is correct. Choose a category, but it is best to leave some sort of comment when flagging. Also, flagging is better than posting here. Tox was right that this is for discussions and not for flagging purposes. No points are earned for posting anything here. Gotta flag the items.


Sorry for the limited or late responses, peeps. Been super busy and typing time has been limited.

What category should I choose at flagging, if someone reuploads a blammed content?


Because Minuspal has reuploaded his video once again, after it being removed like 3 times.

You sure it was blammed? It was originally removed for music. This one has no music.

Does this mean that it cannot be flagged, if it has no music, even though it was flagged and deleted before numerous times?

I guess nothing if a minor change has been made to the post, because it makes it different.

Barracks Roster as of August 1st, 2023:


Well the dog days of summer are here - it's been hot, rainy and humid here for weeks now. We had so much rain a week or so ago that my street became a small lake which took days to recede. I gave up trying to control my hair frizz, so it's a hairband and pony tail for a while.


July was a good month in the Barracks - we now have a new Supreme Commander! Congratulations to our newly minted EGSC, @freaks-heart - well done, and well deserved! *SALUTES*


EGSC @tox and EGSC @Guthrie continue to defy normal sleep patterns and continue to work the portal non-stop, racking in a total of over 45% of the Barracks' BP points. Not sure who's sponsoring them - Red Bull, Monster or Starbucks - but they've made caffeine a new food group! Great job, guys! *SALUTES*


Last but not least, EGSC @Exedor continues his support of the forum with professionalism and wisdom, guiding users in their quest to be helpful and answering the hard questions as only a mod can. We do thank you for all you do here, it is greatly appreciated! *SALUTES*


I hope you all have a wonderful August - stay cool, go outside, enjoy some time in the sun with family and friends!


Because in 20 years, you will all look back and think "those were the good old days"!

Is there a specified amount of whistle point requirements for whistle ranks? If I remember correctly, getting the bronze whistle is after flagging 10 times successfully, and you get deity by flagging 200 times successfully. Is this information true?

I don't think that information has been publicly confirmed. The whistle system has had a few overhauls since it was introduced. It used to be that there was a single person with a deity rank, and around two with gold, where the number of whistle points required to rank up/down would scale with the deity holder. The exact numbers were never shown publicly, though, and it's really difficult to track successful flags.


That system was depreciated for a static ranking system, where the number of flags required are still not publicly available.
