See? Just wait til it passes and then consider it reportable. :)


so basically make a favorites folder of stuff to flag at a later time


Is the queue getting unmanageable?


To all: please stop reporting

do you mean flagging things that are going to blam out OR posting about the things that you flagged


I have seen you use the word "report" interchangeably in the past when it comes to posting about flagged items in the EGB, so just a small clarification

It makes sense that "flagging" concerns flagging, and "reporting" or "posting" refers to posts in this thread.


I'm not as active as I'd like to be. I need more blam points!

It's a shitty Scratch recreation of PvZ. Could I flag this for using assets created by PopCap?

Is the submission itself stolen from another Scratch user?

Is the music unsafe?

Vote 0. Report/flag it if it passes.

To all: please stop reporting blammable submissions that haven't passed.
To mods: no need to remove things until/if they pass.

Let's get sum blam points, y'all!


On one hand, yes.

On the other hand, I've been here for far too long and seen far too many rule-breaking submissions that are easy blam targets passing the Portal, some with a score far from blam territory.

Agreed & it's not just rule breaking submissions. Seeing so much stuff now getting through with scores of anything from 2.0 to 3.5 (sometimes higher) which in the good old days WOULD NOT have passed judgement. People complain about '0' bombers but the real problem is Savewhores. My first 8 years on NG, I managed to rack up 27K Blams the following 14 years I've only racked up 3K Blams. Just a sign of the times. Youtube crowd jumped over to NG & started '5'ing everything basically spoiling it for the genuine voters. My voting ratio is a little over 2 to 1 Saves to Blams. Most voters who joined in the last 10 years have something more like 20 to 1 ratio or higher. It won't get any better though, just gotta suck it up & carry on fighting the good fight.

I am unsure about this movie:

Its just a still image which has text popping on halfway through, I'm confident in saying this has no animation.

This isn't the only time Ethan's slapped something like this on Newgrounds and called it a day, either:

There is a category of movies called "spam" but its not what you are thinking of. Generally these are loops of pointless animations that a certain groups of people enjoy. Much like how some people like comedy but don't like romance and vice-versa. I don't think its breaking any rules.


Ok, thank you. This is first time I found this type of movie and I wasn't unsure, hence my question.

I see, thanks for clarifying!

I'm probably more at risk at that kinda shit - my grandpa Frankie dropped dead from a massive heart attack a year before I was born, and I down a frankly unhealthy amount of Pepsi Max.

Apologies in advance: I'm not into military roleplay and I do not intend to try. But my B/P rank insignia suggests that I drive a tank and my whistle has a halo. I hope that at least buys me enough credibility for some of you to read to the end.


I do not know a whole lot about the process of creating music in the digital age, therefore I am uncertain what to flag and what not to in this situation, so I was hoping somebody here might be up to the task:

- The Audio Guidelines (Music Maker Restrictions) currently state: "You may not upload music made with [...] BandLab (the mobile app, not Cakewalk)."

- There is a looooong list of Audio Portal submissions tagged as being created using BandLab.

- I suspect that a bunch of those submissions were actually created in Cakewalk and just have been tagged wrong - because artists on NG usually aren't the best at tagging their stuff.

- I also suspect that some artists who created tracks in BandLab will sometimes have been inconsistent with tagging their work as #BandLab, so there might be additional digging involved.


If somebody wants to help in the Audio Portal (or just wants to earn a ton of whistle points) and can reliably tell the difference between tracks created in BandLab and those created in Cakewalk (or other audio editors), this is their chance. But please don't just flag hundreds of submissions willy-nilly! We should make the Audio Portal moderators' job easier - not harder...

correct but people do it anyway

A good post buuuuuut the EGB is primarily and exclusively for the reporting and flagging of movies and games media on Newgrounds, there is however the Audio Portal Cleanup thread which I have a feeling that you meant to post in. the audio portal cleanup crew deals with the audio portal the same way that the EGB deals with movies and games


same coin, different sides


you are free to stick around if you like, but we don't really talk about audio things here as it's not in our scope of practice, quite the opposite actually the EGB only looks for pretty close matches of major audio tracks by the minuet while the APC looks for copyright material by the second


for instance, a recent post from @Questtrek outlining how to detect AI audio tracks by putting them into a spectrogram and then doing a rather basic analysis of the bit map https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1375322/184#bbspost27933986_post_text

The EGB don't do that lol, not even close

good job btw Questtrek, that mildly blew my mind to see that method to find AI audio
