Not that I recall of. The submission seems decent enough that it'll pass easily. Also helps that this isn't some first-off post with no description.


In terms of loops, mostly poorly made Madness shooting loops end up getting blammed (when the page turns into "Eulogy for X"), and slap-together 1-2 second loops with no audio/description get blammed quickly.


I'd say this one will pass. It's not breaking any rules and it has enough quality to pass easily.

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.

I'm seeing a huge intake of low quality Stencyl games getting uploaded that are using similar formats and sprites. I think these were created as part of some school assignment using tutorial assets. The Monkey University one is using the same sprite as the Stencyl Monkey Run.

I was curious about this too, so I searched "ISU Cauayan" on Google and found a university in the Philippines. So you are most likely correct. I hope their grades won't be affected if their schoolwork gets blammed... :(

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'd still keep reporting - flagworthy's flagworthy, whether its an easy blam or a Daily Award contender.

If they're being made for a school assignment, I strongly doubt the teacher's gonna hold their work getting blammed here against the submitter.

The teacher probably doesn't even know Newgrounds exists :P

Yeah, that makes sense.


As for the reporting vs blamming aspect, my understanding is that if it doesn't *technically* break any rules, but it's still a piece of crap, then you blam. But sometimes, it really isn't clear what you should do. In those cases, would you lean more towards flagging, blamming, or posting the submission here and waiting for a consensus?

You would be surprised how often things like this are part of the requirements for an assignment! I’ve heard nightmare stories from both industry folk and students about professors requiring their class to email big studios with beginner work or ask for feedback and advice. My uni had us display our work at local expos, thankfully sparing us from the internet seeing our freshman and sophomore projects lol

The submitter has taken a clip from the Eddsworld video "Spares" (https://youtu.be/Ie91HF0L9dA, 1:13-1:18) and overlaid their own text onto it. I'm counting this one as stolen.

at least it will be easy for us to go back and flag items that came through like this

I'm sure that they can all be flagged under, user not owning the sprites that they are using


so, that leaves the question, does the mod/admin team want to action these games or let them through?

no *places a hand on your shoulder in a firm but reassuring manner* they have a point.


damn portal has been filled with furry hentai every hour, almost on the hour. It’s unreal. Tom needs to start taxing these motherfuckers. Is the newgrounds database infinite or something?! Oh, and it’s ALWAYS gay natured too. Like dude. The amount of cocks and balls in an afternoon? shit can’t be healthy for my psyche. and I used to moderate a hentai site for crying out loud!


If I could? I’d whistle em all to hell and back. But I can’t. so I’ll internally harbor the pain. (besides this one post)

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.

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