I don't know if you guys have noticed this already, but there have been many "stagbeetle" submissions coming through the Portal. Most are straight out spam, but some are flirting with the line that separates spam from any of submissions. I have already spoken with the NGPD, but as the Asst. Chief of the NGPD, I wanted to inform you all. Thanks for your time

I not 100% sure about this author but i think his stuff may be stolen now, i know you should not take any notice of abusive reviews ,but if you look at this which is now in the obituaries. Its been removed see what MindChamber says in his review

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/46 4717

. Also look at his news post here

http://killersims.newgrounds.com/news/po st/135620

. The really annoying thing is that i cant sent Wade Fulp i tried again yesterday but got the same message ,is there anyone else who maybe i could Pm with the information?. Here is the list so far of the authors who stuff may be stolen, i tried to keep track of them.

May be more thanks for the help on NGDD its very helpful.

I remember seeing something about a StagBeetle day before and one day while looking through reviews on submissions I ran across an older StagBeetle day submission and say that Tom Fulp had left a review on one, giving it a ten, and saying something along the lines of "When is the next one coming out? You do know that I really do watch all of these." or something of the sort. This was awhile ago though so I don't know if my memory is serving me right.

StagBeatle a funny author he submits spam yet some of his work is very good ,and of high quality even his loops are good if they dropped the hateful titles. I have seen a few movies and must admit they are good not to much spam, and i dont know to much about him but his name cool.

That is a real one, but Tom did NOT leave a review on it, that was just put in the author comments to get a higher score on it, and the such.

I checked through them all when I had first seen that comment.

They're just trying to act as if an admin endorses them, so they can put forth an impression that they are going to pass, and whatever else.

For those who don't view before they vote, I'd suppose.

Actually, I don't know why I didn't think about it before, but I just went and checked Tom Fulp's reviews and he didn't give them a 10 on a review, but he gave them a 7. Hereis the link to the review.

Yeah. He's one of those spammers, along with his pal Sinister (Sinitron, Spinister, probably a dozen other alts) and others, who can do a million times better when he tries. I guess he just likes spam... I was thinking about making an SB Day movie myself (not spam, I still don't support Portal spamming, but in celebration of the relatively good stuff SB's done from time to time), but that plan kinda fell through due to school and homework. Ah well.

Yea, it's rare that I get to see any messages of that sort and I know what your talking about idiot-buster.

Congrats, heh. Yes, the more of us who have Deity Whistles, the better.

And, short rant: FUCKING CHRIST WE NEED PORTAL MODS. I don't care how, I don't care who, but fucking real and fucking soon. I don't know where the "spam line" should be, but there are so many examples that are just...so...fucking...obvious that any dipshit can see that they're not supposed to be passing. If something is ONE FRAME, it should be deleted, no questions asked. If the preloader doesn't work (whether due to an AS error or one of those "JUST WAIT AND IT'LL LOAD" bullshits), it should be trashed. If someone is getting co-authored to sixty flashes a week, something is fishy.

I'd love to see co-authors be deemed just as responsible as the main authors, too. People got a choice in who they become Portal buddies with, and should be more careful in who they give co-author rights to. Hell, there are a few people on my portal buddy list that I'm not entirely comfortable with, but at least they haven't been active for some time.

Whether offenders get their shit deleted, their Portal upload limit reduced (and preferably permanently banned from uploading), I don't care. Fucking anything is better than fucking nothing.

Agreed, spam has been getting more annoying with each day, and still passing, and now those cockbites of authors are upset with me so they down vote my Audio, which when compared to their work, is godly.

I'd like to remind you all again of one such walking inconvenience, one by the emo name of GOTHCLAWZ who is a worthless ass zit

his demise both IRL and in NG would be the start of a new law, prohibiting from saggy ball sacks like that guy to try and grow mustaches, Own (illegitimate?) Adobe Flash and if we're lucky, to even use the internet.

Their internet connection screen should say "Error 794, you're an asshole".

I agree, something has to be done about the current level of spam, it's gone beyond a joke at this stage. The volume of spam passing at the moment is unacceptable, as is the scores they seem to get (2.00+ for blatant spam, wtf?).

What's worse is that the spam itself is getting to be more and more malicious and hateful. Remember that flash I was talking about a week or so ago, the one with decapitation and the words "Fuck you suck my dick" on it? There is NO PLACE for that bullshit on Newgrounds, it has nothing of value. No-fucking-thing.

I mean, some spammy submissions aren't too bad. B was innocent enough, and some by StereoClock actually made me laugh. But some of these spammers just submit absolute crap, of no merit.

As for portal mods, while I like the idea and in principle it would work, short of an admin taking full responsibility for this job I don't see them handing that much power over the main part of the site to anyone (I think I may have paraphrased that part from someone's post in Wi/Ht?).

What could be done, and I know these may have been mentioned before is:

- To raise the blam threshold to 2.00
- Give an option like "Flag as stolen" for flagging something as spam while UJ.
- An option for flagging authors. This one may not have been mentioned before, but if there was an option to flag authors as submitting spam, it might quell them. Perhaps if they got enough flags on enough of their submissions from enough users they would be forced to have their future flashes examined before being submitted, like first-time audio submitters. Maybe that is where portal mods could be introduced.

Damn right we do. We need people with the balls to stand up against the kind of shit that gets through the portal. It would certainly make Clock Day more interesting, when work actually gets deleted for a change

A little personal, but I do see the point of why this account and more than a few others on the site would benefit from a) multiple submission deletions; b) lengthy portal bans or even c) complete termination of the account.

Now that moderate users are getting drawn into the wealth of Saves available, they are reaping the rewards and voting 2-5 on every flash they see, which makes it more difficult to get Blams, even if the flash in question deserves it and serves to raise their B/P totals, and therefore their voting power, so the system perpetuates.

I know that Tom may be against such a system, since some artists may not get the level of encouragement that they do at the moment, as their flash would be repeatedly deleted. Do any of you guys ever stop to review a flash that is obviously going to be blammed? On the whole, I think not.

We've got to work with the Admins and any portal mods who may be created for the purpose of keeping the place clean, the spam down and allowing good quality artists to do their thing, producing movies and games that make us laugh, make us think and overall make us enjoy our time on Newgrounds.

If this does happen, I would be happy to work alongside them, alerting them to spam, encouraging those who genuinely try to make good flash (as I already do) and continue to enjoy myself largely on this website.

Actually there was a period when I was trying to review submissions that I felt were making a genuine effort, but ultimately were bound to get blammed. But there is a major flaw in the system there- many of the reviews I wrote never made it to the authors attention as the submission was deleted before I had finished writing, and at that point you can no longer submit the review. Given the lengthy nature of my reviews, and the sheer amount of help and encouragement many of these authors needed, this happened on the majority of occasions.

Of course since the PM system was implemented it has become possible to simply PM the author when this happens (and I have done so more than once so as not to waste my effort!), but simply allowing reviews to be submitted for submissions that have been deleted would solve the whole issue (obviously only reviews started when still UJ would count as there is no link to review from the graveyard).

I know i was like that after i got my diety whistle but now ,i flag all the time. My b,p been okay not special but i think it good for me. Well the entry passed it was somewhat pornographic with the penis and images, i must get round to sending Wade Fulp another PM with the authors. As for YouGame as Corky52 said i think he imay not stealing as I'm sure with as many games ,he has submitted someone would have picked something up by now. Wade Fulp does do a really good job deleting stolen stuff.

Today was a bit funny as on NG's log i saw that i needed 666 B/P points before i rank up which i thought was quite funny.

Anyways... I've think I'm really picking up this new pace in B/Ping that I've never had in me!

Wow, I'd just like to make a post reminding everyone that I'm still alive, and that you won't see me for a month or more.

Mac??? What are those? [hahaha] No I got an hp pavilion g60-120us. It's pretty nice for only $650. It' an amd turion 64 x2 with 8200 nvidia graphics card and hd screen too. It has a 15.6inch screen and a keypad, so its a lil on the heavy side, but I don't mind. It's the best notebook/computer I've had yet, so I'm excited. I still have like a week and a half if I decide I don't like it or want the warranty. I wanted the hp tablet notebook, but thats too expensive and I need somethin that will last for a couple of years in decent condition. LoL I love marching band and music, just lost the discipline for it. 30 a day is alright. I think i'm up too that, but I could do better though. Not too much homework, it's just that my schedule and me being a night owl (if that isn't already obvious by my usual posting times) calls for 2 sections of sleep instead on one full night on every other day on the week days.

Well, as I posted this at the NGPD and Rage's thread, I think it's fair posting it here too.

Take a look at the following submission, which is resubmitted (the author says it), and obviously he didn't even make it.

Oh wow, I am almost level 29! I can finally get rid of this horribly looking knife, oh how I dislike all the knife levels, they all look so lame, lol. As do some of the hammer ones, but the level 29 glove is nice, silver is a good colour.

Most of the knifes look naff to me, the one I currently have is probably the best knife level, the level 26 one looks stupid because it's all crooked. The bat is level 17 I think, forgot, anyway I thought that one looked pretty good.
