I guess the best way to get rid of the Spam on Newgrounds is definitely not to take them as "Free Protection points" and wait for the Administration to delete them all... eventually, but to do my part and vote 0 on all those terrible and effortless "Flash" submissions. I'm happy to see two of those Pokémon Flash already got blammed today and yesterday... with my help and the help of everyone on Paltalk :)

I was talking to Afro about it, and it seems he's going to be giving up on the series. He didn't seem broken up about it, as it was apparently becoming a pain in the ass to do every day.

If I had flash again, I might do a Pokemon series like that...but with secret episodes instead of just images, heh. Secret episodes take effort, and they'd all be unique...the Gardevoir one might end up feature-length, too. :-D

Anyway, FBIpolux, you are officially entered into the Barracks. You may wish to register at the EGB forums so you can have full access and vote/comment on other people's recruitments, heh.

Incidentally, if anyone signed up to the forums as "DBlach", speak up. Members should sign up with their NG aliases, lest I believe the attempt to be spam and block it.

*Sigh* He's an NGPD member, and I told him (as he is interested in graduating to the EGB) to join us as a Guardsman, and to post a request in THIS thread. He obviously misunderstood me, so I'll PM him about it now and inform his of his error.

And so an era has passed, and the hopes of many Newgrounders have borne fruit at last. Some Newgrounders may be displeased though: Afro_Stud had some fans to his series, for example Bahamut, and some people were getting tons of Saves or reviews off of that series. And this also throws into doubt whether Bahamut will finish and submit his own "Bahamut:CAI493+ D" movie, which he said will be more like his Fagamut one-off, with animation and all; I kinda liked that one.

Ooh... That might be quite a bit of fun to watch. Listening to Gardevoir go on and on in a Speakonia voice about her sexual escapades sounds, well, like something that I'd gladly take the time to see.

Greetings sirs! Police captain DBlach requesting to become a guardsman of this fine institution! I apologize for my blunder earlier and creating an account on the private forum! I understand my mistake and it won't happen again sirs!

Forgot to say congratulations to FBI on his acceptance into the Barracks. Congratulations, soldier! Always nice to have a BBS regular here.

Warning: long post.

Hello there, sir!

For those interested, Wade made a nice little post that has really caused some controversy:

I saw it, and I think it's wonderful. Finally Newgrounds is getting on the line.

But what's funny is how people's attitudes change when Wade comes up. They act like puppets in front of him. How ironic...

After this post, I saw at least 10 spam flash get blammed...so looks like a few people are taking this to heart. Good strides going towards our cause, for sure...

The whole Ice Cube ones got deleted. Now for the Tom Fulp and Joseph Stalin ones. I don't think the Adolf Hitler ones should be deleted, tehy are somehow a part of the history here.

Plus, Coop83 would lose lots of reviews.

And thanks to the Barracks members that also posted there!

I made my part there, sir!

I'll try to be on a bit later tonight, for those of you that remember me...

Everyone here remembers you!

I just hope it continues on. You know, these things tend to happen and fizzle when everyone forgets and a new day starts. OOP...MOAR B/P TO BE HAD GUYZ! We'll see how far this goes. I know I'll be posting there for a while to try to help this stuff along...

I hope it goes on for a long time, even after Clock Day. Ahh, Clock Day... let's see if people vote fairly this year.

But something tells me it may still be a while until the savewhores completely turn from their ways. There's no easy healing for someone like yoshi77777.

I'm no sure if yoshi7...7 will ever be healed from his spam-days. He said he'd stop it (attitude changing: puppet), but he did a lot of shit in this recent past. Let's see what will happen to the spam groups after this.

I think this idea should have been implemented years ago. Let's face it: spam groups have been around since the Flash Portal was open. And if Portal Mods existed in the past, this culture could have stopped at the first spam flash ever.

So hello everyone, Staff Sergeant FBIpolux reporting in :)

Hello, FBIpolux! Welcome to the Barracks!

First thing I'd like to ask... when you guys Blam / Protect on the Portal, do you actually vote on the Quality of "Spam Flash" movies that usually get protected 90% of the time? Or do you leave NG's Portal quality on the side to get a "free protection point"?

No free stuff for me, but this might change with Wade's thread. And I hope it does.

Blam revolution time!

I have conflicting feelings about Afro being blammed, though...on one hand, yeah, they're low-effort. On the other...it's just so epic, heh. I hope he at least gets to Gardevoir before giving up. I love Gardevoir, lol.

I hope he tries to complete it, at least. He came such a long way until here, so he shouldn't stop, even if they get Blammed. Just my crazy opinion.

Looks like people are starting to turn on those submissions. Just goes to show that if even one submission by an author that was originally perceived by many as 'un-blammable' is deleted, it can have a massive effect.

That's alright. I just didn't recognize the name used to sign up, and the forums get a regular flow of spam attempts, so I gotta be careful, heh. I'll validate you and give you Guardsman status. All you gotta do to be a Guardsman is post here regularly as you progress on your journey up the ranks.

Just a note---if you wish to join the Barracks once you reach Private rank or higher, you'll have to fix that whistle before you could become an official member.

I'm sure I could get over it. I can always write more reviews, as I'm writing them daily at the moment. It's only my response rate that really suffers for the time being, as I'll review loads of the award winners, just to get the numbers back up.

Good, I also read Yoshi77777 say he was planning on stopping the spam was well, yet I saw his name in some spam Flash submissions today... what a shame.

Was it as the main author, or just as a co-author? If it's co-authored, he can't have gotten around to removing himself from people's buddies lists.

Was it this one? I'm not sure, I saw one too and he was "co-author" of it, but I don't think it's this one. Anyway, if he really wants to stop spamming then he has to delete some of his Portal buddies, since the can co-author him for anything.

No free stuff for me, but this might change with Wade's thread. And I hope it does.

Blam revolution time!

Yeah, I adopted that attitude as well. I don't really want to see all those terrible movies in the portal anymore, and actually never wanted to see them. I'm voting zero on every spam submissions now.

Now if everyone does his part, the Portal can come back to the old-days, where there was more quality than crap (as I heard).

That proves there's still a long way to go on the "Blam revolution" thing.

But yesterday's stats of the Portal shows that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Before, it was half as much Blams. Now...

Still a lot more movies getting Saved than Blammed. It's silly that instead of saying 'Movies Protected' it says 'Movies Submitted', because in fact the number of movies submitted is both of those figures added together.

Still, I got a nice amount of Blams yesterday, so I'm pleased with that. I'm almost at 7,000 Blams now... I'll either get it today or tomorrow. I'm really trying to up my Blams so I can get them to 10k, which will be my second 10k stat.

I am sure youwould like to have me, the leader of a well knoiwn group, the ones who stopped KK, in your Guard SIR!

Can anyone fill me in on what's been going down in the Barracks over the last couple of days? I've been fucked for the last couple of days, and it feels good to finally have a day off, especially on one that is so fucking nice.

Sorry civilian, but to join the Elite Guard Barracks you must have at least 2,500 B/P points. Click here to see each badge and it's requirements.

But if you get 500 B/P points, you can try joining the NG Police Department. If they accept you, you can become a Guardsman here.

- No mention of submission being placed on NG at original location - here
- Author signed up today
- Author comments say 'From thefug.com', but doesn't say that he made it.

It seems to me that this game is stolen, however I can't read Russian (on the sites it apparently comes from, as seen at the start of the game). Anyone got a definite source within either of those two sites, or for that matter anywhere else?

Yeah, that's weird. Everyday about 200 Flashes are submitted, but about 130 of them get protected. And a couple of weeks ago it was 200 flashes saved and about 70 Blammed. Good that it changed.

Still, I got a nice amount of Blams yesterday, so I'm pleased with that.

So did I. I think I got 70% of the Blams yesterday, it was great. Now my B/P ratio is 1.407 and going down everyday.

I'm almost at 7,000 Blams now... I'll either get it today or tomorrow. I'm really trying to up my Blams so I can get them to 10k, which will be my second 10k stat.

Cool, two 10k stats should get you very close to EGSC. I'm very close to Sergeant First Class, only 59 points away from it. I should get it tomorrow, along with level 20. Yay!

Yeah, but at the moment I'm taking it one rank at a time. It's taken me about 4 days to move from #201 to #200, so it seems like slow progress at the moment. I just passed the guy who was originally at #199 though, so my place in the top 200 B/Pers is secured now.

No, but I've seen him spamming some advertisement crap around the BBS. Don't bother PM'ing Wade about him spamming your inbox, just block him from sending you PM's and leave it at that.

Also, slow down next time, and try and put everything you need to say in one post rather than 3 :)
