People have been really generous with UJ submissions lately… even the staff raised the blam limiar to 2.0, but all to no avail. Threads are being made on the topic, i see people here and there talking about it.

My personal response to this is: there is no one star. Lower than two, there is only zero.

Anyway, i think this is all we can do, individually. And hope this compensates for gangs of children voting five for every shit-ass submission their friends make, and people voting five on everything to get protect points.

Ran across a crypto scam in Under Judgment.

It would be best if your game does not rely on any calls to third party servers. If you are using a third party API or anything that could be used to track a user, you must give notice of this at the start of your game and give the user the option to opt out. If the user opts out, you may not give the third party any access to their session.

Any game involving crypto would probably involve 3rd party servers and other off-site shenanigans. I haven't loaded it yet, so IDK if it does any of those things, but even then it's not in good standing.

However, the description does suggest real-world payments, which is a big red flag:

update: still not loading. I think it counts as shovelware.

Ran across another - not sure if its from the same person or not.

Got it, thanks for the post. We're doing our best to keep track of these.

Moving away from crypto spam, I found a blatant ad in Under Judgment. Pretty sure the thumbnail and voiceover are AI-generated, too.

Not AI. They use real voice actresses for their animations. With that being said, it can be flagged as an ad, since it's nothing more than one. Removed now, tho.

I assumed they were using AI voices thanks to the thumbnail - I see an AI slop thumbnail, I assume the submission's slop as well.

Still, nice to know the advert's gone.

This is just porn, and video.

speaking of porn. Can you Please remove this stupid video?

(Explicit:https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/970312)

blammed: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/rip/969051

the name is different but I witnessed is the same video so is it removable?

That video was blammed (actually both were). We really try not to remove some submissions too quickly for that reason. And, remember that more than 2 submissions being blammed in less than 30 days earns a portal ban. That's an important learning process for some people.

Barracks Roster as of March 1st, 2025:

First, my apologies for not posting last month - and a big "thank you" to EGSC @Pingu for publishing it in my absence.

In the past few weeks, I have had a lot coming at me IRL. I've been to two family funerals out of state, had to deal with some personal health issues, and the icing on the cake was an unannounced database hosting "upgrade" along with some format changes of some of the HTML on NewGrounds pages that completely tanked the EGB and NGLogs database and auto-updaters. I had started to work on the DB issues last week, but ran out of time and had to get back on a plane to points west. I finally made it back home this evening, and after unpacking and cracking a bottle of wine, got to work on stabilizing the database and scanning process.

The good news is that it's all back up and running - but there was a little bit of fallout from the initial generator, and I have recently discovered some minor aberrations in some of the reports - like the 'daily average' fields that take a value and divide by the number of days in the month. Because I reran the data on 3/1/2025 (instead of 2/28/2025), even though I forced the data to log as 2/28/2025, the average calcs used the current date, and only 1 day had elapsed, so the daily averages for 2/28 may be equal to the total value (instead of divided by 28).

Next month should be okay, barring another end of month glitch.

As for this roster, I did notice a few things:

• Little-Rena is now Little-RadioDemon (I renamed the user in the system and re-ran the stats to get it right.)
• iShadowzz08 is no longer valid, and I don't know what account to use
• Anonymous-Frog seems to be a civilian again - not sure what happened there

Let me know if you have any info on the last two users, and I'll clean it up before the next roster.

I do hope your February was better than mine - I thank you all for your support and dedication, and as always, it is an honor and a privilege to be part of the Barracks with you all. *SALUTES*

iShadowzz08 is no longer valid, and I don't know what account to use

Alt account. I'm still here, still level 38, still the same BP.

Thanks for fixing the issue - you definitely deserve a rest after going through so much shit last month.

Here's hoping to a March that doesn't suck. *salutes*

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure this is the fourth or fifth time I've topped the Top 5 Gainers list.

Damn, a full year in the Top 5 already? Time truly flies, huh?

Advertisement (commissions)?

Comic dub (source: Toonsite, some motion elements, cutouts feel crude) enough original animation???

that's valid imo

There's animation so it's valid. No animation is not valid xP At least I think so

Belongs to the audio portal, no animation.

Can flag it, but vote 0 if you like. No need to post it here.

Edit: See?

BGM is instrumental for "Down With The Sickness" - this flaggable?

I'm pretty sure it is...

I mean, just what's the difference between the song and the song without vocals? If it has the exact same instruments, notes, and stuff, then what makes it different? Using a song that's a version of a song that aired on the radio wouldn't likely give you the right to use it, plus if it's made by the band themselves, chances are it's in the same rights as being allowed to use the song either with or without vocals.

Albeit, I could just take the easy way and argue this submission has been reuploaded without any substantial changes. I mean... if you put this on the submission's description...

I used the intrumental, I don't know why newgrounds took down the original...

...Wouldn't it not be a basis for what I'm saying here?

This triple whammy didn’t get blammed, surprisingly

• Improperly rated E
• 3D model animation
• Judging by the in-video credit, potentially stolen too

This was seemingly stolen from @BenevolentBunny, although it doesn't seem to be from one of their Newgrounds submissions - Twitter is down for me right now, but I bet you could find the source video on there somewhere.

<NSFW>

It is stolen...

BenevolentBunny does exist on Newgrounds and I did check EVERY possible source aside from Twitter. I mean, if I was stealing content, it wouldn't matter where I get it from, if it's from someone, I would post from that person, right? Turns out it's stolen from DeviantArt.

It is indeed stolen but I don't understand why "3D model animation" is part of your list

Could’ve elaborated a bit there, and I was trying to but didn’t in my haste, sorry

I was thinking along the lines of, in case it was a MMD or SFM style of animation where they did not create the models in the animation

Having to use assets you made yourself is a rule in the Art Portal, but not the Movie Portal.

Sorry for bothering you all, I've reported this video that sadly passed judgment (jeez can't people pay more attention instead of watching this superficially?) despite being made with an AI video generator:

If you look closely at bottom right of the video it can be clearly seen the signature where the video was made. It was made with Vidu AI

Thanks for the clarification! So it’s just a double whammy then

On a personal note/update from me,

My son was born this last weekend,

I'm a dad now

I'm just putting this here as I have history with mostly everyone who follows this thread

woot me and new family member, wife is tired
