I agree, there is no need for any of this.

Look, I know that Phantom has been a bag of douche throughout his Newgrounds career. I've seen it myself a couple of times. But there was always something funny about his rants, something that, even though they were mean, made you laugh a little inside. Of course, that was from outside of the argument.

But ever since a few months ago, Phantom has cleaned up his act. I haven't seen him go off on someone the way he used to, and has been extremely helpful to everyone in both the EGB and NGDD. I don't know what's made him do a 180 in his life, but I'm glad that whatever it is happened. The only thing he's done is spoken his mind in a calm and intellectual manner and was retaliated against. He fought back.

As for what Slash said, I agree. People should have told on Phantom, or manned the fuck up about it, and realize that you don't want to interact with him. Phantom wrote a review (whether through PM or an actual review, I don't know) of Corky's series. Clearly, it would be considered spam, and Phantom said that. Corky got offended, and freaked out at Phantom. As I see it, Corky got what he deserved, and at least Slash agrees with me.

Does that include flash co'd on because I can't help it if some of my buddies decide to co-author me on something, sure I could remove them but I don't want to remove them since most are people I speak to. As for submitting effortless flash, that's fine by me, I don't open flash much anymore though I should, I'm just too lazy to make anything.

I still have 2 unfinished flash on an external drive I should finish one day, ahaha.

Well, I certainly would hope NOT. If it's out of your control, it's out of your control.

I, for one, welcome the stand against pure spam flash. If it is obvious a Flash has no purpose and had no effort or care in its appearance then it shouldn't be linked to this club that stands for quality in the portal.

I think this is a good decision. If the EGB is here to protect the portal, we shouldn't be submitting spam, since we stand against that.

And I also think this shouldn't include flashes that you get co-authored without submitting them, as RSQViper, it's out of our control.

Even though I don't have any submission...

No, it doesn't include flash you're co-authored to (unless you actually helped make it). People should be careful who they become Portal Buddies with, but sometimes crazy buddies just randomly co-author you and un-buddying them would cause more harm than good...especially if you've made a few dozen flashes with them that you DO want to remain.

I welcome the changes, you don't want to be linked with bad spam flashes, although what makes spam is different in other cases. SlashFirestrom, your flashes did not seem that bad but coming from a user who never submitted flash I do find it harder to tell sometimes. Of course with spammers authors like Cereal loads more i could go on for ages. Take the latest (Turd of The Week), no effort pure spam with crap false rating. Author comments go "Fuck You" about 20 times well you know what i mean. I'm glad this has been sorted out. Some people dont like Lock Legion as they say not much effort goes into it, I dont agree I love the funny computer voices thats just my view though.

I hate those stupid flashes that are turd of the week, I liked it more before when those flashes were, as the FAQ says, funny in a bad way. You know, they were crap, and many people hated them, but at least the author tried to make something decent. But nowadays all spammers want to get that damn award and make crap that passes judgment just because a bunch of stupid people are voting 5 on it.

Some people dont like Lock Legion as they say not much effort goes into it, I dont agree I love the funny computer voices thats just my view though.

As Little-Rena said in other thread, spam is subjective. I agree with this, some people might have different opinions when watching a "borderline" flash, although it's obvious when something is blatant spam.

Yes your right its about what people think that matters, I agree about TOTW the flashes are not what they used to be. I miss the old days when flash passed, but somehow it was not meant to and it got the award. Written my first review for ages for The PS3 Song good movie, and was thrilled to have it rated helpful Gone quiet in here again guess not much to talk about.

Oh well that's good then, I don't think I have many buddies that will randomly co-author me anymore, I did at one point, lol. I keep them on my list because many of them have made something with me or I've made something with them, wouldn't want to lose that.

I've seen a few Lock flashes which where funny as well as Clock ones and so forth, obviously some crews do put out a lot of spam flash but they also have some that are fun to watch as well as some that are well animated too.

Sure I've known you long enough to understand that, but surely you've known me long enough not to say that anyone isn't cut out for something until they've tried it.

Yes, so they don't like me either, but who cares, what I remember, as I'm sure you do as well, is some 900+ pages ago when EagleRock and a few others, all wanted to make the portal a little better. Since then tens and hundreds of thousands of points have been mind, and I'd like to think that while new problems do rise, we help clear up old ones.

Yeah, but with your style of 'creating more problems to solve others', does this really get us anywhere?

No, I'm just a regular member who has had a fair share of thread of his own locked for just this sort of thing. I don't want to see the Barracks locked, but the reason there is an English Gentleman's Club is because the precursor was locked quite some time ago. I've been around the BBS long enough to learn, but the lessons there aren't that difficult for those willing to listen.

No one member is bigger than the Barracks. Just like no one user is bigger than Newgrounds. Not even Tom Fulp. It's gone too far for that now.

misquotation? I meant to say new problems would happen either way, fixing some instead of piling them up sounds more helpful to me.

Well let me get my productivity meter out. Oh look, it says here that unnecessary politeness is not one of my faults. Is it now?

No one member is bigger than the Barracks. Just like no one user is bigger than Newgrounds. Not even Tom Fulp. It's gone too far for that now.

I don't recall claiming that at any point. The other barracks members and officers and I decide together if an action is taken or not, megalomania is the least of characteristics here. I'm more of a Cynic anyway.

Also I don't appreciate having my arm twisted like this. I'm being civil here, and we both know I have levels of approach far beneath civil.

Alright, alright. Goddamn, I hate you people sometimes. I love you, but there are times I just wanna...god.

With Eagle's disappearances, it's my job to keep the Barracks functioning, in terms of goals, membership, and actually existing as an unlocked thread. I will not have him come back to find the EGB locked while under my supervision. And, should things continue the way they're going, that's a possibility. And that's why I'm going to have to lay down the law.

I will make this clear. Both of the past two explosions were utterly fucking unnecessary, and if another one ever happens again, I'm not going to wait for anyone to resign. I'm going to start handing out walking papers. I've never been comfortable with the idea of booting members from the Barracks, but if I'm supposed to be the commander, then it's something I may have to do in order to keep this place running. The Elite Guard Barracks is nobody's personal flame pit. Nobody is immune from questioning or blame here. Nobody will be asked to accept being uncomfortable or harassed, and nobody will be permitted to waste pages with pointless bickering. And while I agree with the strategic assessment of spammers in the EGB, I wish to make it very clear that the only one around here in charge of kicking someone's ass into going the right direction is me, Supreme Commander Slash Firestorm, second in command and current active leadership of the Barracks.

So, I will re-iterate. If anyone has a problem with another member...whether it be a complaint about someone's actions, or annoyance at someone's criticism, you will not let it boil over into this fucking slop mess.

If two members have a confrontation, they will keep it to private communications and settle it without the Barracks ever knowing about it.

If a private resolution is not possible and the tension may influence the Barracks, I will be informed about the dispute and serve as an arbitrator until a resolution is reached.

If a simple resolution is not possible, the matter will be brought up at the EGB forums, not in the EGB thread and discussed civilly and a community consensus will be reached.

If two people have an irreconcilable problem so big that they're unwilling to let the leadership or community decide on a resolution, both members will be asked (as in, forced) to leave the Elite Guard Barracks so their petty arguing will not spill over and threaten this club. I do not care who is involved, or how long I've known them, or how correct their assessments of the other party are. We will have some fucking discipline and some fucking respect, or I will reduce the roster as much as I have to in order to run a friendly and functioning club.

I can handle any legitimate dispute regarding members with the necessary discretion and objectivity required---how long have some of y'all known me? You guys know that I won't summarily dismiss an honest and informed complaint, and that I won't sentence OR pardon someone who doesn't have it coming. But unless you guys want me to have to crack some e-skulls with some e-sticks, you need to let me know about your problems before they spill over into utter fucking stupidity. There is no reason, no reason at all, that two Barracks members should be fighting, let alone having people dropping off left and right out of protest.

The Elite Guard Barracks is supposed to be friendly. It's supposed to be a place where people who share a common interest---keeping this website clean of abuse and promoting the work of skilled artists---can come together and not only discuss how to better accomplish that goal, but also converse will each other as friends. If someone cannot play by the rules and act civilly towards others, they can find somewhere else to be a jackass. Similarly, if someone cannot take criticism about their actions without flying off the goddamn handle and resigning in a manner akin to throwing a chess board across the room, they can find somewhere else to be a bitch.

However, before anyone else resigns or gets kicked out, I would like to have some fucking communication rather than having my hand forced. So the next time any of you got a problem with another member, ring me up before all hell breaks loose. And for fuck's sake, do it privately---unless the problem is so great that I cannot help the parties reach a quiet resolution, there is no reason to get the whole roster feeling pissed off and uncomfortable, and no reason to invite a mod smackdown.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some refrigerators and drywall to move. I expect the conversation to rapidly shift into discussions about blams and how fucked up David Firth's last flash was, and why the 49'ers are breaking Slash's heart this year.

What the club could be locked? I have been reading all the post of people quitting SonofKirk, Corky52, and I read SlashFirestorm post ,but I don't get what you mean about disbanding Coop83. He said No wait, actually I'm not, because I think problems have more solutions than "suck it up" and "run away".. My point being he was not disbanding it. I hate to see the unhappy feeling it has lately, I love this club as EagleRock, said its about having fun. Am I the only left who actually loves this club?. Its sad to see such posts about it being maybe locked.

Woah, calm down there buddy. We're not getting locked. Just as long as nobody acts like a douche and starts something inside of the EGB thread. If they do, then they get kicked out (permanently, I guess). If they do have a problem, but don't want to get kicked out, they can A.) Talk on PMs B.) Ask Slash to mediate C.) Use the private forums to talk the issue over.

Still won't make the playoffs. I don't care what you say, the Bills at 6-5 don't look like a playoff team, nor will they be. Let them grow a little more before they can be called great.

Look at the Browns; just missed the playoffs last year because of the strange tiebreaker rules. Now they'll be lucky to win 5 or 6 games.

And my Giants will face the Jets/Titans in the Superbowl. How cool would it be to have a Giants/Jets Superbowl?

Sharks got to win the cup, especially now that Evegeni Nabokov is back from that lower body injury (lower body or higher body??).

I have to say though, the sharks are doing much better since they fired Ron Wilson. Since the maple leafs hired him, they have been doing horrible as always!

I feel bad for Tampa Bay though, Mark Smith got injured and he's like THERE BEST GOALIE at the moment.

The only purpose the Bills have is screwing Dan Marino in the playoffs, after that they would do something no team have done before and they're glad they didn't.

Also how about the Redskins fans stuffing the pro bowl ballot?

When do you think a team based in Canada will finally retain their Stanley Cup glory?

While I don't care much for soccer but it would've been great had the Red Bulls won, the fact that they came this far is pretty amazing.

My reasons for liking the 49'ers are kinda silly. When I was a kid, I very loosely followed football, and just chose to support them because "they got a number for their name! fucking awesome!". Damn near picked them at random.

But alas, they aren't doing well this season. When, oh when, will my precious 49'ers return to the Super Bowl? When will they replace their shitty old stadium so they've got a snazzier place for home games? Sigh.

I don't really care who gets to the Super Bowl this year. Usually I just pick the underdog team and root for them so I seem smarter if they actually win. XD

Also, on a Newgrounds-related note, I apparently missed the submission of the Fallen Angel flashes. I need to check my damn NG notification e-mails more often. Next long-awaited and thought-abandoned flash I want to see on Newgrounds: Orgasm Girl 2.
