This is TheMadGuy, the liar and a Ban evader impersonating me, known for doing very bad stuff. This needs to get solved ASAP, sorry for such disturbment.
Send a DM to @TomFulp and he'll deal with it.
Just one DM from just you should be enough btw. No need to spam the guy.

Speaking of that guy, guess what: we got maybe THREE submissions for some free whistle points.
It's a stolen video from MentalHAZRD. (Yes, the link for the video is a reupload.)
It's likely a stolen meme video, probably from YouTube? I doubt it should stay and get voted, though it uses the Tenacious D music so am I really stretching it for the unlicensed music angle or not?
No animation, it's just "this little ugly ass face is uglier than ur mom" for 10 seconds.

Good time to remind folks that feeding trolls by engaging their news posts gets the reaction they want. Unsurprisingly, it always seems to be the same immature users who also come tom the EGB so it's pretty likely they'll see this.
Report the profile, move on with your life. Give them attention and they keep coming back.

Jumping outside the Barracks' jurisdiction for a minute, the impersonator's stolen some art as well:

I normally don't deal with the Art Portal, but there's still some free whistle points left in this account.
Returning to standard patrols, I found somebody stealing that Hazbin Hotel AMV:

As the old saying goes...
Unfortunately, there will always be somebody who's never dealt with a troll before - but this is still good advice regardless, for now and for any future trolls that may appear. Just remember that it's very easy to get a hold of proper administration on this site, so there really shouldn't be a need for giving it much attention (outside of getting some free whistle points!)
Got an error saying there was no video when I tried to play this:

Its been a hot while since I've seen somebody try to upload that.
Both subs display a gray screen when playing - by my guess, the videos are likely corrupted.

if you click and drag the different parts from the bottom left of the game to the given spots, you have put the computer parts in the slot

Nothing showing on the bottom left of my screen, bottom right has a sell button, I've tried resizing the page up & down but there's nothing in the bottom left corner.

scroll down in the game, and it should appear in the bottom left

Alright, I have a question for my betters regarding copyright
I will not be flagging this submission myself

but you wouldn't know that unless you went looking for it because... well... freepix.com, download, edit, share buttons
smells like AI art, viruses and tracking cookies if you ask me
The linked game features SOME art taken from freepix.com. Is that against the rules here on newgrounds?
On the surface it's free, they encourage users to download and use materials freely

What do you think? Knowing that it's ok to use some assets in games that are gained elsewhere, like we've discussed already, what do you think on this? Make a decision and post it, Tox.

Ok, but why?

Not flag-worthy in my eyes, given that the images are properly credited. If they were claimed as their own with the watermark taken out, then maybe, but it's not bad for these type of games to use free assets.
Wouldn't blame you if you wanted to rate it zero though!

why flag it?
when it all boils down, freepik.com as an entity owns the digital files that are being submitted through the game
the user does not have free use of the materials even if freepik.com is encouraging users to download materials and content. freepik is paying to store that file, they own that file

Not sure if I agree, given one of the first things I see when I look at the site is the phrase "Ready-to-use everything" - it's clear the website wants you to use these files, and with proper credit given I don't see the harm.
Worth rating 0 on, it's pretty obvious this game wasn't made to be anything but shovelware - but I don't think it's flaggable.

The rule that I'm going for is the inclusion of photographs, (art pieces) that the author did not create
