I've actually seen SMB Online a few times in the portal, yet it passes every time. :O
Anyway, I'm going to hit the Genreless flashes page, plan to do at least 10.
Just answering some stuff on this page:
1) I've been categorizing "Escape" games as Adventure - Point 'n Click, although it is getting tempting to give them an entire sub-genre. I always tag them with "escape" - this way when users can eventually search by tag results, they will be able to generate a list of all the escape games. It also means that ultimately the view page will show "escape" as one of the tags, and clicking it will lead to a list of all escape games.
2) Changing the content rating for a submission takes a long time to submit because it has to do some massive re-indexing of data. I tend to let it sit for a while, then hit Submit a second time and if enough time has passed, it works. In terms of when to change ratings...
Be lenient when switching things from TEEN to MATURE. For example, Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid were rated TEEN by the ESRB, so all that blood and decapitations is ok in the TEEN category. The most important thing is to make sure all the purely adult stuff is rated ADULT.

That's cool 'n shit, Tom, but PLEASE make a physics genre. Sometimes physics games aren't action, and they aren't puzzle.
I think that Rabid-Animals is also a genre mod. The rest of EJR's list checks out.

Zachary, LegolaSS, 14hourlunchbreak, Jolly, Archawn, CommanderWalrus, Bahamut, ThePigeonMaster, Auz, reverend, Fro, EJR, and thenewbies.
I'm pretty sure there's more but you can add those manually right now if you want.
zuggz
Techno
el-presidente
legolass
perry
bahamut
blackfang
shunshuu
auz
k-guare
zrb
These were the first genre mods.
Looks like Jolly is lagging with his script updates.

I didn't know there were anymore genre mods.

He's not even an active member.

Also RohanTheBarbarian is.
Is blackfang really a genre mod?
Or did the Genre mod "blackfang" get a name change?
Hmm, seems good, however Chrome has no about:config. Any help?

He changed his name to Kool-Aid.
I have no idea how active everyone is on the list I posted, but I don't think Tom has demodded anyone yet so they are all still genre mods.

Yeah, Chrome has no config console, like Firefox does. You can just wait a week for the script to update, can't you? Either that, or change the update time directly in the script, run it, then change it back.
Yup, it shouldn't be a big deal to wait.
Going to get some genres done now.
Im a genre mod. Im changing things slowly, but the most notable thing I did was change the Hansel and Gretel flash from a rating of T to a rating of M due to the disturbing nature of the flash. I PMed the author and he wholesomely agreed.
Finally updated scripts.
I actually decided to change Gretel & Hansel 2 back to Teen, as I think teenagers can handle the gory bits of the game.

I'm always hoping it will get updated but probably not... For now it's marked as spam so it won't show up in other results.

Well alright. I actually PMed the user and he said he didn't mind it being M. I just think that there are very gruesome things in that game that are considered "shocking" because they are all being done on a little girl. It's up to you though haha.

Oh, I completely forgot to post these here. They're all broken.
Not sure if you guys can do anything about this, but rated E? lol...
Unsuitable Submission
This submission contains age-rated material and requires an account to view.

But you're an icon mod as well. Why don't you upload a BROKEN icon to mark it?

I did when I did the icons.
I'm not sure how to name this one. What do you call this type of game?
Also, I tag escape games as "escapegame". The word escape is usually in the title anyway. I find the use of that word annoying though because there are plenty of animations of people escaping places which brings me to a question.
Can tags mean different things depending on if you are looking for a movie or a game?
Because if "escape" can be chosen to bring up one of the other, that is far more useful then if it brings both up together, especially if you don't want to play an escape game and there are a LOT of escape games.
Collecting NG's undiscovered gems has been a hobby of mine since 2005. I am curently posting them on my blog.
Feel free to check them out and tell me what you think.
i would like to partake in this, i came up with this first after all (only i called them collection mods) but come on, i have lots of untagged submissions that must be saved!
I'm just a dreamer.

I recommend you find 10 genreless flash movies/games, find the correct genre for them, and come up with tags for them and post them here.
Before you do though, read Bahamut's tagging guide
It's linked on the first post.
I'm not sure if this has already been addressed, but what tag would should we use for black and white movies? b&w? blackandwhite?
Why isn't there a shape collection?
Also, this was rated M.
Should I keep it E? It was rated M for nudity, but there really isn't any.
