Hmmm if some times Tom Fulp bends the rules for certain "no animation" submissions then why are people reporting no animation submissions? is it because majority of no animation is like a repost from youtube or somewhere on social media.


Pfft hate won't hurt me

The fact of the matter is this: the only thing that makes Newgrounds any different from any other video hosting site out there is that Newgrounds focuses on animations and shuns live action content. There are animations on youtube. There are live video sites everywhere. Newgrounds' edge is its animated content. Do you want Newgrounds to remain special, or same as everyone else?

There's also the upcoming Live Action Jam.


The "no animation" rule is really there to filter out no-effort submissions that are better suited for youtube. Exceptions are often made for videos where it's obvious that the creator actually spent time and effort making something that's relevant to the community.

I think a Mod mentioned Tom gave a pass on a similar video by the same user. Likely Tom will bend the rules for this one too.

But it's jut real life footage. How is it not against the rules?

I know it's Tom's site, but my question was not rhetorical.

I summon @tomfulp: Regarding toonhole's latest live action video, shall we effect the rules of the portal and flag it, or shall it stay per yours, and at the will of the NewGrounds' population?


It's in a grey area because we generally remove timelapse art videos but because it has a structured commentary, is entertaining and is about the creative process, it feels like it would be wrong to remove them.


The goal is to eventually allow timelapse videos alongside art pieces in the Art Portal, at which point maybe these videos would reside alongside the art pieces they are about. Until then, they've been getting a pass in the movies portal.

Videos get sent to the portal when their scores are too low. But what about images? Do they just get deleted if they have low scores?

Are you referring to the art portal? If so, there's no judgment process there - the scouting system is in place instead. So, art submissions keep accumulating their votes however good or bad it is.

So art images cannot be blammed? Tox tried explaining to me what scouting is exactly, but I don't quite get the hang of it. If I remember correctly, it's about upvoting high quality images and stuff, or something like that.

Surprisingly (to me, at least), screamers/ear rape are not against the rules. But there's almost no chance this survives judgment, so don't worry too much about it.

Not quite. Voting has nothing to do with scouting. Don't "upvote" or "downvote." Vote what you feel the submission deserves. The exception is when you see a red title amongst the purple Under Judgement submissions, which means it's about to be blammed. Throw a 0 its way and remove some trash from the Portal, while getting yourself a blam point earned for your effort.

You can vote 0 on anything, even if it doesn't break the rules. I'd rather have a whistle point, than a singular blam point, whistle points are rare and are harder to get.

You can get potentially dozens of whistle points a day if you know where to look, they just need mods/staff to action correct flags. Whistles also have incrementally more requirements every level so it seems like a challenge but its just dedication.


Blams are slow, but they've been picking up over the last few years from what it was.

No, whistle points are the EASIEST to get. They're only rare and harder on the basis that there's less submissions that violate the guidelines. And even then...

Is this allowed on Newgrounds?

By the look of the submission, it's a giant NO, because nothing in the submission that you provided (From the original message.) is something that the author created. Stitching a image for one single frame and then stitching a video you didn't make into it is enough to constitute as a spam video. It has no actual animation and I doubt someone like ScriptedMatt, who only has 4 Games submissions with an average rating of 2 stars, and 2 Audio submissions with abysmal ratings, would get whistle protection.

Pretty sure the easiest way is just look for the Latest section in all of the portals. While you can flag Audio and Art submissions, just don't bother posting them in the board because they're more or less dealt separately from the board. Games are more harder to flag in my opinion because unlike the Movie portal, you have to actually play the game to determine whether or not the submission does or doesn't violate the guidelines. This is a barrier that's innate in its media, because for video, you can just skip sections of it just to find one thing that violates it and you're done. But a game is MUCH harder because you can't know for sure if it's in the game or not by just downloading it and then examine what's in the game. Though you could try to record the footage of the game and try to post here... But you do you.
