DEFCON Update:

The DEFCON isn't moving nearly fast enough to warrant a change, so it will remain at DEFCON 4.

I took the liberty to view your techniques, and honestly do not feel that they are very suited for the Elite Guard Barracks. We believe that every flash, no matter the moniker used nor any external features should determine the quality of the flash without actually reviewing the content. I will visit the NGPD and address this more formally in the near future.

Ah, it doesn't matter. I just found it quite unusual for DEFCON to stay at 3 for a while.

I'm glad you like it sir... If I had a dollar for every catch phrase I made that turned out to be a hit I'd be rich by now... But as far as I go, from now on it's official. Every one who joins can be told this line (under the condition the one posting the comment will really be in a higher rank). Besides it shows the Barracks has a lighter more humoristic side to it...

Started simple here, 3 blams+3 saves. Had not really much time...

Good day, soldiers!

I am currently futzing with the new forums to make it best-suited for the Barracks. There will be many changes on the site while this is done, so please don't be alarmed!

Well, I dunno about an Elite Guard Barracks forum, but I have joined it anyway. I'm unsure about the forum, because I remember some C&C thread based forums being made and ending up not working well. Anyway, keep up with the work on that forum.

Pvt. KungFuCow reporting in, SIRS! I've been away enjoying some well earned R & R and have missed out on whats been going on here recently. Anyone care to inform me?

Welcome, sir! We The whole barracks are honored to have you here. I am sure that you will contribute to the barracks. Sorry for my absence last night, I was watching the Rose Bowl. This year's Rose Bowl was the best one I have ever seen since 2001. In addition, I also felt that I should take a break from b/ping, so it was worth it. Back to my topic, I said that I would share some of my ideas about how to avoid BBS bans so that our Barracks would not miss any of members who could contribute brilliant ideas. First of all, read the BBS rules before posting. I know that it is getting old, but I am sure that half of the NG users do not read the rules. Secondly, if a thread is something spammy. DO NOT BOTHER to post. Even if you post "shut up" or"this thread is going to be locked", the mods can still ban you. I posted a post in a spammy thread saying that the thread would be locked 2 weeks ago. As a result, I was banned for 4 days for back seating mods. So here is the bottom line: DO NOT post in a spammy thread. Thirdly, if a thread is making fun of a certain mod, do not take the risk and post. Sometimes, the mods just cannot take it. I have seen a 3-pages-long thread about Ozcar's funny story got locked. Fourthly, try to post in the multiple pages' threads (at least 20 pages) at Club&Crews so that the chance for you to get banned will decrease. Around 20% of the threads in the General fossum get locked everyday. But of course, if you are careful enough, you will not get banned no matter where you post. Lastly, do not post for the number above your icon or increase your post per day to a certain value. Most of us including myself have the bad habit of posting for the numbers. If you decide to post, please try to post something valuable. I know that it is hard. In fact, most of my posts are sub-par too. But try, I mean try not to post when you do not anything better to say. (suggest) I know that most of my ideas of avoiding BBS bans are old for you guys already, but I still hope that you can at least look at the post and learn from it. In the end, I wish that everyone can learn something valuable from the post so that we will not miss anyone in the future because of BBS bans.

January 5th, 2005

I made this to give credit to those who help keep this topic going.
Not to encourage the amount of posts, If theres is a negative effect because of this, Ill just stop doing it.
If its obvious its just one user I just wont include that user. Got It?

The third row is posts from Dec 25 to the 5th, between updates, The 4th row is posts from the first 30 pages, (before my update on page 30).
On some users it says a date (example 12/23) thats the last time they posted here. Consider it a warning your becoming inactive.
Anymore questions questions just ask.

I put this rules together to sort out the inactives from the actives.
Only actives are included on these lists, the rules arnt perfect but they can always be tweaked, or changed completley. Whatever is necessary.

If you ask to be a member and dont post within the 1st 10 days your inactive.
If already a member and dont post in 20 days,your inactive,
If You make 10 or more total posts at any time in the topic after 45 days your inactive.
If you make 50 or more total posts at any time in the topic after 60 days your inactive.

Sorry for the double post, EagleRock. But the portal is a bit more active compared with this morning. You may consider raising the DEFCON level to 3.

Well, your post is fairly long so I assume you began posting before I ask everyone to hold their posts.
But just so things like this dont happen again, when writing a long post that takes a few minutes, copy what you have and go back to see if anyway else wrote something, if not then hit post reply then paste what you written before and post then.

Thanks for the update, Major_punk. It is my pleasure to see that everyone is doing so well. Congratulations to you all. :) On the other hand, I also noticed that the gap between the member who owns the eighth hightest b/p points and me was not too big. So I may take over his spot by next update if I work hard enough. That will motivate me a lot as I love competing. XD By the way, there are around 10 moives poping out in the last 10 minutes, so EagleRock, you may consider a DEFCON3. In addition, the moive called "ROFL, best flash ever!!!!!" is malicious as I have seen it for at least 6 times. You guys may consider blowing the whistle.

DEFCON Update:

In light of Captain Dream_of_Duke's sentiments and a re-evaluation of the Portal's activity, the DEFCON has been raised from DEFCON 4 to DEFCON 3.

Good day, soldiers.

I know many of you have addressed me, and I will sort that out below. I am currently busy designing the forums and tweaking the sections up. Soon it will be 100% ready for the Barracks' use!

Duly noted, sir. As you can see, it is done.

More business at hand, soldiers:

There are members here that are currently being considered for Barracks positions. I ask my fellow officers and Barracks members to deliberate on these prospects:

Private First Class -Mitsubishi- for Barracks Intelligence Operations Officer - As Intel Ops, PFC -Mitsubishi- would be in charge of investigating potential Portal attacks outside of the Barracks grounds and even outside of the realm of Newgrounds. His reports would assist us not only in our DEFCON but also in general Portal protection. As being related to the Portal's protection, he would report to the Barracks Portal Operations Officer.

Captain Dream_of_Duke for Barracks Conduct Officer - As I am a man of my word, I believe it is time to give him consideration for the position. I believe he would be helpful in serving our Barracks using his posting experience to keep the Barracks in good conduct. I realize that some of you might seem this is too soon to do this, and I will act with my best instinct based on the feedback I get.

Major General Bahamut7 - As we all know, he has been an upstanding member of the Barracks pretty much since its start. If my recollection serves me correctly, I offered him a position earlier and he rejected it. I would ask Major General again to consider a position. As Captain Dream_of_Duke said, you are indeed overdue for a position. Sir, are you interested? If so, how do you feel you could serve us best, sir?

I would like the deliberations of my fellow officers and soldiers on these matters.

Good update, Praporshchik Major_punk, sir! Ah, those three days I was off NG hurt me...hopefully my internet will never betray me again...I want to start clawing my way up the ladder, lol.
As for the potential Barracks positions, all three candidates seem good for those posts, I think. They're all qualified, that's for sure!
And yeah, portal is speeding up a little, which is more than welcome! I need to catch up if I'm going to meet my daily quota! So I'll head off to the portal...good hunting, everyone! :salutes:

Excellent update Major_Punk, sir! Its nice to see that I'm no longer at the bottom of the ladder. However, I'll need to pick up the pace if I'm to make Corporal by Midnight Monday!

As well, I'd like to say that the other two EG members up for appointment (aside from myself) are both very deserving of their promotion to officer status. They both have the qualifications and experience to tackle their jobs, I'm sure of it!

Well, back to the Portal as it seems things just picked up there! :)

I'm not sure what you mean here, sir. Could you elaborate on these two inactivity benchmarks?

Ok say you make 13 total posts, after 45 days you'll be removed from membership until you post again. users who are removed from membership will be called inactive.

Say you make 65 total posts, after 60 days you'll be removed.
I made it so that the more posts you make the longer it takes for you to become inactive to reward the active users. This way the users who made alot of posts will be on the membership list longer than new sign-ups.
So for example Ghost_Phantom suddenly stops posting in the barracks he would still be a member for 60 days so thats like sometime in march. but if Sekky were to suddenly stop posting he would be off the membership list in 10 days.
yes? no?

Let me quickly explain the other two parts while im at it.

If you ask to be a member and dont post within the 1st 10 days your inactive.

So say someone came by and said "Can I join?" but they never come back their inactive in 10 days, until they return. Example: DonDoli

If already a member and dont post in 20 days,your inactive,

So they ask to join and are accepted then they return and post again thats when they are member. But say they only make 4 posts and stop coming here, after 20 days their inactive until they return. Example: Nomader

Understood, sir.

Major General Bahamut7

Wait what role are you offering him?

At this point, I do not have a specific position for him. I was merely imploring that he consider taking up a position. If he does decide, I would ask him to determine what would be his best position. At this point, sir, it is up to him.

If you want I will explain my reasons upon request.

Actually, sir, I would like to hear why you do not agree with Captain Dream_of_Duke's appointment. Do you feel it is too soon, sir? I also ask you to please be calm about the situation, as I do not want to have the whole situation explode. I realize it was a controversial decisition to petition him for a position, and would like to hear your constructive comments.

Thanks, sir!

There is a swapped file in progress it is called "The Swanky Hotel" (Don't know how to put a link here) I have seen this seven times now and the four times it passed they were swapped to those crappy Barney bunch flash that we all know and hate.

I have seen this flash many times as well. I cannot verify whether they are Barney Bunch fileswaps, but I have seen it submitted many times on the Portal.

If you want I will explain my reasons upon request.

Actually, sir, I would like to hear why you do not agree with Captain Dream_of_Duke's appointment. Do you feel it is too soon, sir? I also ask you to please be calm about the situation, as I do not want to have the whole situation explode.

I know DoD wants a position, any position. But definatly not this one.

His outburst yesterday was triggered because in my opinion he was jealous of the_fallen_one1, because he was given an officer role and he wasnt.

In the last couple weeks his posts have been about himself and his stats, which is fine but the only interaction hes done with other members has been through arguing. To you, to me and to everyone else in the barracks.
Its only seems ironic that that he now wants to be an Officer of keeping the barracks in "good conduct." he hasnt proven to me that he can manage friendly conversation.

...

He doesnt read other posts, this is one of the reasons why he has been so frustrated lately. He didnt read Ghost_Phantoms or EaglerRock's posts about why the_fallen_one1 was appointed.

He loses his cool to easily, and hes too unreliable if someone is going to be relyed upon to solve an argument and keep the peace, a barracks officer of good conduct needs patience. I cant stress that enough.

Hes the only person in the barracks that ive seen insult another member and I doubt his loyalty to the barracks.

DoD viewed others (including me) as undeserving for their respective roles but what I wanna know is what has he done.

I hope I have explained enough of the reasons why Dream_of_Duke shouldnt be Officer of Barracks Conduct.

Be careful, you guys! I'm catching up!
Anyways, I'd like to congratulate DoD on his recent promotion to Captain. I completely missed it until I saw somebody referring to him as Captain.
While I'm at it, I'm sure there's other people that have been promoted that I haven't seen. However, I'm in a bit of a rush, so we'll just insert a generic congrats to them here and an IOU for free baby heads.
Moving right along, I have a question.
Since it seems to me that, from the current rules, anybody could come in and report a flash as stolen, is it really a wise move to allow such talk in the Barracks? I mean, when one thinks about it, somebody could come by and just SAY that a flash is stolen when it's not really stolen, and even though most of us would see through it, there might be one or two people who vote 0 because they think it's stolen and get it blammed.

without disrespect DoD, it is my experience that most people who run into banS are not exactly geniuses.

this would make ten officers on a club of 30 ppl? what are you gonna do when more people want an officers post? plus all the ex-staff members of NGPD? there'll be more officers as ordinary users. i'm not contra these appointements but i think you must take caution in the future.
