I agree, a lot of people only vote 2-5 on spam work because they KNOW it will pass; take my work for example. I vote fairly on all submissions, and granted, some of the KK Flashes are funny. Though, you are correct when you say that many of the spammers will be too lazy to get back all those Flash counts. We will see.

I am a stat whore, and I do plan on completely getting away from making the type of movies that I make. I just need to get one passed without it being just like, "Well, it's crap, but it'll pass. SO I'M GOING TO 5 IT!" One that people will actually watch. We'll see if I can do it.

Super catch-up post!

I came by to say i reached level 15

Gongrats. 6 months ago you (and I) wouldn't have been dreaming of level 15.

and got the Staff Sergent rank while i was gone.

Sweet. Personally, I'm going for corporal, which should only take 3 weeks. Hopefully you rank up quick, too.

I need to start flagging, too if I want to keep my bronze. I just don't have much time to do one more thing like that.

I'm aiming for silver now.

Same. But I'm just hoping to keep bronze. Like I said, I don't have a lot of time to post, b/p, and flag. I can only do 2, and I'd prefer to stay in contact with you guys and girls and try to stay close to Heaven in our b/p race.

I'm also going to get another B/p rank up soon.

Meh, I'm 3 weeks away from another rank, if I keep on my ~150 a week course. But that's not too hard to do, especially if other people can get 300 a week.

There's only one bad thing that happened today, my keyboard is shit now.

Aaawww, don't tell me you got drunk with Haley again.

If they get an account deleted, then they obviously do not care about the rules of Newgrounds what-so-ever. This is just one of many flaws of the internet. I wish there was more we could do than just report.

Eventually, it just might be too much trouble to keep recreating accounts, and eventually people will get the message to just blam the shit, or they will forget the spammers names and just think it's a bad flash. But that's in a perfect world.

Lets just all hope Tom really does start deleting accounts and more submissions. I actually like some kk stuff i like the perverted humor in some of them.

Lets hope people will start voting fair. But who knows after 100 kk flases got deleted a lot of secrets revealed flashes passed. Tom's gonna have to be harsh to get rid of the spammers or at least make them stop spamming so badly. Obviously people will keep spamming that'll never end but lets just hope that the portal isnt too full of spam.

It's better to see the portal get cleaned up of some of the spam, than none at all. But what's with all the <deleted>'s? All those accounts are still on here.

Is it just a glitch? Or are those accounts most likely going to be deleted?

Maybe it's an admin tool problem where when they delete the account it gets marked as deleted, but doesn't actually remove the person from the system.

But, maybe it does block them from logging in or submitting?

Nope i saw them keep submittig. It says deleted then alittle bit after it doesn't say deleted it has to be a glitch. Hopefully Tom or Wade will clear that whole thing out soon.

Well, I got my Wacom tablet last night and I just started working with it. It's fucking awesome, I can draw 20 times faster than normal and it is great. I am really enjoying it. I really got what I needed out of it today. My flash is nearly finished and I can click around with a pen, YAY!

What size tablet did you end up with?

I still need to get a new one. My old one broke and since it was a present to me, they didn't know what to get and it was really tiny. It sucked.

I need a new, good one!

I understand completely. I need to finish a Flash that is long due anyways.

As none of you have probably noticed, I deleted all of my Flashes...again! Yes, and this time for good. A spamming Elite Guard Barracks member? Doesn't make much sense, does it? Granted I never broke any rules, I don't want to be viewed as a mass-voter even though I never participated in such acts.

Yes, Eagle, I'm starting up that certain Flash again. =)

Well, I didn't notice, but that is cool news to hear. No offense, but I've never been a huge fan of those Flash since they were quite spammy. Especially since your affiliation with the EGB.

I am also working on getting my Clock Flash from this year deleted. It's all the more tough since it's in the Clock Day collection...

Thank you very much and that looks like a pretty good flash. Hard to tell if it's a comedy or something else. Well good luck on your flash. Oh of course i'll put it to great use that's why i joined this club :P.

Elite Guard Sergeant PossiblePancakes reporting in for a full day or B/P and Whistling!

The Portal is awfully slow today, hopefully it will speed up so I can reach another 150 B/P today. I'm really starting to get irritated with all the crap that is passing. Not necessarily Fleek and the spam, which doesn't help my anger, but how nonelitist the Portal has become. Back when I was really active in B/P, you had to actually have something that had potential, all the crap some 11 year old drew and added stupid voices to was blammed horribly. Now they pass with like a 1.8-1.9.

This only encourages to continue some crappy series which can help by making the artist slightly continue is way up the Flash skill ladder, but for the most part makes everyone that is new to Newgrounds that Newgrounds is just a place that you can upload anything, just like YouTube for example.

While I have not had the best Flashes on my record, at least some of them had some comedic level to them, while something entitled, "Stick Bob and Dan Go To Dan's House to Get Some Tea and Crumpets" is just utterly fucking stupid. Granted, none of my shit should have ever passed judgement, but my eyes are no longer blind. I just hope for the love of God, if there is one, that Newgrounds doesn't become a cesspool of shit.

Going back to the Portak to try and make a difference.

It's because there are more people coming to this site, not knowing what a "2" flash looks like and one that's a 1 or a 0. And I'm sure that they are like "Hey, help my flash pass" to any Newgrounder who would likes that guy. You just don't get blam points anymore.

This only encourages to continue some crappy series which can help by making the artist slightly continue is way up the Flash skill ladder, but for the most part makes everyone that is new to Newgrounds that Newgrounds is just a place that you can upload anything, just like YouTube for example.

That's from the massive amount of spam passing through; if there wasn't any spam coming through and passing, then people wouldn't get the misconception that Newgrounds is a Youtube for flash. And your right; it says to an artist (if you can call them that) "hey, I don't need to try to make a new or creative flash; I can just make some shitty one and it'll pass. Why put effort into something that won't get appreciated?"

While I have not had the best Flashes on my record, at least some of them had some comedic level to them, while something entitled, "Stick Bob and Dan Go To Dan's House to Get Some Tea and Crumpets" is just utterly fucking stupid.

That's the problem; people believe that their flash is funny, or has something funny about it, while others don't. I might laugh at Stick Bob and Dan while not evening thinking your flash is funny; I don't know. But usually they aren't all that funny.

I just hope for the love of God, if there is one, that Newgrounds doesn't become a cesspool of shit.

Well, I like to think of Newgrounds as the Springfield Lake in the Simpson's Movie; it's had a mild amount of pollutants ever since it was created, but all we need is one more giant cannister of pig shit to turn it into a cesspool.

Going back to the Portak to try and make a difference.

Portak? Portak is way beyond attempts at making a difference. But the portal still has a chance.

From what I can tell, this Flash is just an ad, so I marked it malicious. Anyone want to clarify?

I wasn't really sure so i just gave it a zero. I don't see it as actually being malicous, just stupid and it has no place on NG.

For great Justice!
Finally there are countermeasures against this flood of spam.
Just have opened a bottle of booze to celebrate this one!

Ok, I know I said I wouldn't release anything until the official Newgrounds Alpha for this series came out, but I cracked and decided to release the information about it early. I'm very excited to start this series and I always appreciate ideas!

It finally happened, my Blam and Protection points finally tied, and soon I will have more Saves that Blams. It should be a good thing that people are starting to get more Saves than they are Blams, but under the conditions that constitute it right now, it is not good at all. I can only do my part in helping protect the Portal from spam, but unless others help, my efforts are futile.

I have also noticed that the Review Moderators are really active. I see somebody post links to a goldmine of abusive reviews, and then ten minutes later, the mine has been wiped of all its resources; just like Paris Hilton and her virginity.

Back to the Portal!

I know you're enthused about this, but please don't drink inside the Barracks perimeter, we need our wits about us to fight spam. Allow me to introduce him to you EGB'ers. He's a friend of mine from a special organisation which merged with another organisation. Since I have been told not to mention them I can give you no further information.

I know who he is and what organization he's from. You don't have to worry about me i'm very friendly and know a few people from his organization. There still seems to be no accounts being deleted or spam submissions i suppose we'll just have to wait to see what happens. Also does anyone here ever watch Dexter the new season starts tonight.

Go here and look for it. It's a show about a serial killer that kills serial killers. If you have Hbo you should watch it. It's an amazingly good show. Though i can't wait for masters of horror to come out with another season both amazing shows.Also sorry for going off topic i just love those two shows and wanted you guys to learn about them.

Good to know (the first part) I hope the other can share the same courtesy towards him. I hope someday that there won't be spam and alts everywhere. Guess we'll just have to wait.

Heheh, agreed, I like the show too.

On another note, I've released yet another flash, go rate and review. Remember, I'm just warming up to my tablet, so it isn't going to be the absolute best of my works. it's more of a test than anything else. It is based off of Venom and some ninja guy. Check it out!
