Live-action commentary; no animation

Also, a question: are we still reporting videos like this and others (still image, gameplay, music visualisers, etc.) as spam? I noticed the description for the "Spam" reporting option recently changed to specifically mention "Promoting shady links, marketing schemes, blatant ad[s]", and so I'm now wondering if the spam reporting option is only meant to be used for those things.

Does anyone have an answer to this question? It would be much appreciated.

The flagging categories are much less important than the notes you write when you submit the flag. Unless it's really obvious, a detailed explanation of why the submission is rule-breaking makes our jobs much easier.

So I should keep on reporting things like blank screens, live-action footage, etc? Sometimes it isn't clear what should be reported vs what should be blammed.


I do my best to leave the obvious garbage submissions up so they will blam. This has a few effects that removing through the mod process doesn't:


  • If a user submits too many submissions that are blammed within a short time, they get an automatic ban along with a nice message from @p-bot (I believe) explaining why they're banned and that they should do better.
  • A blam is a direct representation from the community that it doesn't want this submission on Newgrounds
  • Blams are increasingly rare, and I know you all love to collect them. A lot of really garbage quality submissions are getting past the judgment threshold recently.


That's my thought process, anyway.

Kinda wished submissions being removed by a mod also awarded you a blam point. It'd make them far less rare.

Maybe whistle points should be made public in that case? I don't know if that would encourage others to mass-report submissions though...

I would rather have people vote fairly on crappy submissions


Also consider the huge amount of flags that would result from stat chasers having a new way to game the system.

I'm not talking about crappy submissions, I'm talking about submissions that break the rules.

If people flag submissions that don't break the rules it's just gonna cost them whistle points.

It's never too late to help keep the portal a safer place; I myself only joined at the beginning of the month.


Looking at your profile, it seems you don't have a lot of experience, but more importantly, you have 0 B/P points. While it's not technically the sole focus of the EGB, a big part of it revolves around judging new games and movies, rating them fairly, and reporting any that break the rules.


The ROTC, which is sort of the EGB's beginner program, requires at least 400 B/P points (Portal Security rank) and a normal whistle to join, so you have a bit of a way to go. That's completely fine, though; as I said at the beginning, it's never too late to start judging!


If you scroll down to the bottom of Newgrounds, you'll notice two links under "Extra, Extra!": Game Judging, and Movie Judging. Clicking on one of those will give you a list of all the entries that are currently under judgement in that specific category, where you can watch/play through and rate as many entries as you want (you don't have to do them all).


Rating a submission 1.5 or below will contribute towards blamming it, while rating a submission 2 or above will contribute towards saving it. Once a submission has been blammed/saved, then depending on whether you chose to contribute towards blamming/saving it, you will receive a blam/save point, which can be seen on your profile. Be sure to rate submissions fairly though, and don't try to artificially increase your blam/save points, because that's not what the EGB is about!


But that's not all; if you spot a submission that breaks the rules, then you gotta flag it! Click the flag button located to the top right of the submission, then click the category that most closely matches the rule it's breaking and explain why in the text box provided. Doing so successfully will give you whistle points (an invisible stat), enough of which will increase the whistle level seen on your profile. Only flag submissions if you're sure they break the rules!


This is what we do here at the EGB, and you don't have to be a member to post bad submissions into the thread. For more information, take a look at the different pages on the EGB website, and be sure to read through our code of conduct. You're always welcome to ask questions in the thread if you have any!

Does a submission only get a "rip" page if it's been blammed, not if it's been removed by a mod?

Only if they've been blammed, yeah. If it's been removed by a mod (or deleted by the uploader) it shows the default "Submission not found" page.

Ok thanks. This'll be useful for determining the difference between something that's been blammed vs removed.
