I've already apologized for not making it perfectly clear re: GoAnimate Movie unpublishing.


I feel like y'all should have waited until the said discussions regarding this have concluded.


It had concluded. The discussion was between myself & Tom in the Moderators Forum. I asked the question, he anwered the question. That was the end of the discussion. He stated categorically 'just delete them'.


Then from there doing a big, organized post containing all the information and criteria that was important to the case at hand.


That needed to be done, because it seemed not everyone understood fully.

Also, I wanna throw an accusation out on this user. I think there's a high likely chance that this guy is using 5+ separate accounts to spam these random stolen movies. This is like the 4th submission I've seen with stolen footage from a children's TV show where the description is a link to one random NG account with Lucas in the name and a similarly named title. It's very likely these are all from the same person trying to ban evade or something.

Gameplay "footage," and I put that in quotations as there's not much happening on the screen. But it is just a recording of the MiP App within the Stacking Minigame. Some links for reference:

Lucas is the NG user equivalent of the definition of insanity. Probably thinks he's so sneaky too and whatnot.

I was also keeping in mind what Exedor said with "Discussions among the moderators and admins are not complete yet. We'll fill you in when things are decided," so that's what gave me the impression of things still going on behind the scenes.


But alright.

Live action; no animation elements. This was actually shown off here last day too - I think BlueMonday1984 brought it up on their post and it got unpublished. Was resubmitted today though; the only difference is that the first introduction sequence has been cut.

I think this was it too... wish there was a way to double check. Unless there is, and I'm not familiar with it.

a stolen clip from Chicken Run

It's another one of those "lucas" sockpuppets


Judging by the submission titles and the user's art page they might simply submit whetever they have lying around and use the movie portal as an advertising banner for their fetish requests!

"Do not submit something that is merely a sound visualizer set to music, or a recording of your music project timeline. If you want to promote your song in the movie portal, it should be set to original animation like a proper music video; otherwise stick to the Audio Portal."

Note the "proper music video" part. Do I see a comma over there. Let's eat Grandpa!


Do also note it doesn't say "third party visualizer." If you made it yourself, it's not allowed:

Clear wording is clearly needed. Tell Tom it's an obvious double standard.

A movie about apples is posted. It passes with a score of 3.1/5, only to get taken down. No other rules are broken. Tom explicitly tells the mods you can't make movies about apples, even though it's not in the guidelines.

UPDATE: Tom responded: I was able to convince him to update the Guidelines:


The following rule's been added

"You might get a pass on a custom-made visualizer if it feels like it had real work put into it (vs running your song through a stock visualizer) but if you start uploading multiple songs the same way, they will be treated as shovelware; items being made in bulk with a template."
