This is not a blam club, folks. If you post a link, you should have questions about it for discussion purposes. Non-urgent stuff doesn't need to be posted here, and shouldn't. This thread is for discussing issues, and the amount of links posted here is ridiculous and needs to stop. In the very first post, the foundation of this thread was set:

Please note this is NOT just another B/P club. ... Really, this is a place where the NG users can congregate and talk about anything, with the following rules...
We've gotten lazy and soft on policies and procedures of what we post here. We started with links posted for discussion. Then urgent submissions, like malicious submissions, or real porn or gore came in to be handled a bit faster than a flag or a PM. As time went on, we have allowed more and more useless posting to happen, and it needs to stop. That's not what we do here.
Mass posting leads to mass flagging, and that leads to submissions being removed incorrectly, or to multiple users being punished by losing points on wrong flags. If you flag based on a report, rather than watching the submission (the whole submission, not just 3 seconds of it) and making your own determination on it, then you deserve to lose points, and you don't deserve any points you've "earned." Do your own work. Build your own rank and legacy. If Deity was easy, everyone would have it, and it would mean nothing.
Also, it's a lot of work on the moderators who monitor this thread and try to keep up with it all. For example, it's common to log in and have 30, 40, 50+ notifications waiting for me, only to realize that a large percentage are from useless posts. And, as we're working to clear things, even more pop up. Moderators want to enjoy the site just like you do.
Post link if you have a question. And, ask the questions that you have. But, if it's not urgent, don't post it. Watch it, track it, and flag it, if it passes.
Now, go enjoy Newgrounds! The EGB will still be here when you need it.
