Portal Guard? What is this thing you speak of?

Portal guard automatically checks for new submissions in the portal then displays a notification for you. Casualty made it and you can find it here.

That is awesome! I have downloaded it and it works like a charm. I can see myself now having more time to post without having to miss out on a new submission in the portal! Thanks for the link!

I still do it the traditional way of refreshing the portal over and over again constantly and hoping that theres something new and my vote will count, even against the submissions being mass-voted through.

Fleek is apart of the UU now if yall didn't realize it, just thought I would fill in those who haven't been keeping up with that.

Yeah I noticed that last night. Oh well, yet another group making 'quality' animations. :\

Hopefully theres enough users that hate them so we can mass vote against them.

I'm going to dive in right there and stop any more talk of that. WE DO NOT MASS VOTE, NOR ENCOURAGE MASS VOTING IN ANY WAY IN THE ELITE GUARD BARRACKS . The ethic of the Barracks is to watch and vote fairly on every submission submitted to the portal, regardless of the author and any past record. Any further talk of mass voting will lead to disciplinary action and possible discharge from the Barracks- you have been warned! This is what led to DreamofDuke being discharged, and we do not want any more situations like that.

As you're new I'm sure you'll be let off with a warning- I guess we'll see if Phantom has anything to say on the matter. We all know about spam submissions etc., but we can't encourage mass voting upon them in any way, or the mods will come down on us like a ton of bricks and have this thread locked before we can blink. What you can do is encourage users to watch and vote fairly on submissions, rather than voting for the points.

I'm sorry if that came across harshly, but this is a serious issue and we can't give the mods any more reason to lock this place than they already have. Please be careful what you say in future, especially about this subject matter.

Sure no problem about the link. I installed it too and it seemed to install fine, however it doesn't seem to be picking up the new movies for some reason. I'll have to mess around with it when I get some time tomorrow.

Well I don't encourage mass voting in any form, that's not what the EGB is about. I do however believe that you should judge a movie based on content rather then by it's author or crew. This is how movies should be scored; by how good the movie is.

I didn't mean mass vote against them in that sense sir! My appoligizes! It came across in the wrong way, it was not a suggestion tomass vote against anyone. It was more of a joke considering the fact that the majority of the groups have their submissions mass-voted through. I agree with voting fairly in all aspects of submissions, no matter who the flash is from or what it is about. I do not wish to be discharged for my mistake sirs. I would once again like to stress my deep appoligies for saying that without being clear that is was a joke.

Don't worry about being discharged- we're fairly forgiving, especially for newer members. I had to dive in there though, whether it was a joke or not, as I'm pretty sure a mod reading that wouldn't see the funny side. There's a lot of history with this place and the mods, and it has been on the verge of being locked a few times. That is why we are so strict on things like this, as well as responses to spammers, and stat posts.

My duty is towards both the Barracks and the portal, and the last thing I want is to see this place locked- I hope you can see that. I'm not the kind of guy who gets mad or who likes to discipline people, but at the same time it's important that people don't jeopardize this place, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

I realise that it was a mistake- it's very important that you choose your words carefully when talking about mass voting and spam submissions. Like I said above, we know that there are spam submissions, and that movies are mass voted, or file swapped, or any other means of getting through the portal by trickery. But even if it is a group that has done this countless times before, we watch the movie and vote fairly. Just watch what you say and there won't be any more problems :)

Yeah, that is one reason why I am trying to be lenient on people, although as I said I don't get mad at people anyway, and certainly don't want to tell people off for doing things wrong. After all who am I to act all high and mighty- this is only the internet after all! Maybe it would be an idea to find somewhere to host that FAQ while the site is down, as it's a pain not being able to link to it.

This place is 100% my first priority on NG, and has been pretty much since I first joined it. It was one of the first clubs I joined, and is the only place I post in consistently and have done for over a year now. Seeing this place locked would be a sad day. It's good to know there are other users here that care so much about the place though, and I'm glad you agree with what I said. I don't want to be too hard on people, that's what Phantom does best, but it's important to stop rules being broken, and the rules are only there to stop this place being locked.

I'm glad you said that because I am really bored of saying it, and I'm going to start coming across as some kind of tyrant if all I do is moan at people :). To my knowledge it is only one or two mods that have a problem with the stat posts, but it would be better to include them with a bit of conversation anyway to keep the thread flowing.

Ok, no more moaning from me tonight- happy thoughts, like beer and erm... more beer :D.

Exactly, I also don't agree with acting all high and mighty. A member in the Newgrounds' Department of Defense told me why I didn't flame a user asking for permission to join for multiple times throughout the month. Flaming would not have solved the problem nor would it have made the user become a qualified member. You and me have similar thoughts after all. :P And yes, I agree we should find a place in which we could host the FAQ, since it is endearly a pain to not provide a link to it.

The same goes with me. This place is also my first priority and always will be. Although I am a member of another club, I believe this is the place I most acknowledge and respect. I don't want to vision this place being locked either, because it would indeed bring sadness.

I don't ever drink vodka if I can help it- it rarely stays down long. Whisky on the other hand is fine, although preferably not straight. The other night I actually found an Irish bar with English cider on tap, so that may become my new haunt in future :)

To be honest, the only time I'm on a computer long enough to warrant using Portal Guard is when I'm in the office. If I get caught surfing NG while I'm supposed to be working.

At the time I joined, and since then, it hasn't been functioning properly. If you would though could you PM me with some important points of it. I'm sure of the obvious ones but a little uncertain about what else may be up there. Actually, you could post them here if you remeber then fluently so all the newcomers, and those who forgot, can review them so mistakes, such as the one I made, will not be made in the future. Thanks in advance.

Also, Casualty, that program is awesome and its really helping me rack up more points than before! Such a great idea, I don't know why someone didn't think of it before.

Well, once again my rank has gone up. I passed 2500b/p points today and it seems easier to gain more b/p points now. Mainly with help from the program Casuality made.
