I'm pretty sure this flash is stolen. The fact that his previous submission was flagged for the same reason (About an hour earlier) leads me to believe that this one is stolen as well.

Stolen from here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/JFlash/b obs-revenge

Submitter's email doesn't match with author's site. Submitter's name is ryan and this was made by Jeffrey and Timmy. Green borders are suspicious.

Nice job guys. I wasn't around to get to it, but it's just another racist flash that won't make it by this time.

Also, if you haven't seen it already, take a look at what's on the Portal!

I was lucky enough to vote on it while it was still under judgment. :3

I was actually lucky enough to have it linked to me by a friend who was refreshing the page until it was submitted. He sent it to me and I luckily got to watch and then vote on it while it was still underjudgment.

It didn't stay underjudgment very long though.

I just caught Portal Defenders when it was underjudgment, but it took me so long while I was playing it that I didn't actually get to vote on it for a protection point.

Or at least some sort of guideline for B/P so people aren't just saving everything. Something around a ratio of at least 2.5 saves to every 1 blam or so.

With all due respect, I disagree with this. I think we couldn't reject people just because of their ratio, specially when some of our members have a ratio higher than that.

Of course it would be incoming members of the club not the current members of the club. We have some members that are worse than a 5:1 ratio, which I don't really agree with.

We will usually talk about the ratio in our forums discussions when someone is applying to join, but there are some great people out there whose ratio are higher than that. Besides remember that at our current times getting blam points is difficult, so people who signed in recently will usually have more saves than blams.

Current times getting blam points is difficult? I really don't like when people say that... Just this week itself I have even amount of blams and saves. So can't any other person that votes fairly. Some weeks I have more total blams than saves and I'm getting around 300 B/P a week. Other times I have around the same exact amount, but never more than twice as many saves as blams.

Now my current totals might not show that, but that's because I wasn't an honest voter when I first joined. Anyone who is an honest voter can keep their ratio below a 2.5 easily. Hell I have 10,000 more saves than I do blams and my ratio is still under 2.5 so I'm sure they can do it too.

People with more of a ratio than that either don't vote fairly or have just changed their ways of voting recently and haven't had them catch up yet.

Anything more than a 3.0 ratio is getting a little crazy though.

(I had to put a military joke in, I had to.)

Congratulations on your ascension. You get to be the first new recruit to get our Code of Conduct copypasta thingy! :3

First, I will present you with the shortened code of conduct for the Barracks, along with links to the relevant FAQ's on our forums. You must read them, understand them, and post here again confirming that you accept those principles. A simple "yes, I agree" will be sufficient. This process serves two purposes:

1) Ensuring that you're not a "drive-by applicant" who asks to join and then never comes back, and

2) Ensuring that you know how we operate so there won't be any complications in the future, such as "wait, we're not supposed to be mass voting?".

After you agree to the code of conduct, the Barracks community will discuss your qualifications and decide whether to allow you into the group. Our requirements aren't too strict; beyond the main qualifications of 2500+ B/P and a Bronze Whistle or better, we'll be looking for sufficient post quality (low number of one-liners, intelligent posts that contribute to the topic), helpful reviews, any potentially problematic flashes, stuff like that. After discussion and a vote, I'll make the final call and PM you with the results. Assuming that no objections are raised, the process usually takes a day or two.

Here is our abbreviated Code of Conduct. Read it, learn it, and post again with confirmation of your understanding. If you can't abide by these principles, say so.

*****

1. Voting fairly.

This is the foundation of the Elite Guard Barracks. All members are expected to give every flash a fair vote, regardless of who made it or what their group affiliations are. We do not target any flash group, not favorably or in opposition; our only enemies are those who break the rules of the site, not those who merely bend them.

Everyone has a different definition of quality, and all members are expected to vote based on what they honestly feel a flash deserves, not on whether they think the flash will pass or be blammed. While Barracks members are proud of their high ranks, and are eager to compete with others, a high B/P score means nothing if achieved through petty point-whore voting, and any member who admits to doing so will be removed from the organization.

2. Stopping Portal abuse.

Numerous stolen, malicious, and unsuitable flash are submitted to the Flash Portal every day, and it is our job to ensure that as many of them are removed as possible. Members are expected to report any suspicious flash to the Barracks, including any evidence or doubts that they might have, and only whistle something if they are sure, beyond a reasonable doubt, that it is whistle-worthy.

Just as with B/P, points mean nothing if achieved through inappropriate means. There should be no blind rush to whistle a flash that is merely suspected of wrongdoing; it's better to let an uncertain case go by rather than wrongly whistle an innocent submission. If evidence of wrongdoing is discovered after a flash passes judgment, we can always (and will always) inform Wade of our findings.

In the case of a beyond-reasonable-doubt rulebreaking flash, members are encouraged to share their results with the Newgrounds Police Department and the Newgrounds Department of Defense.

3. Cleaning up the review system.

Members are expected to be familiar with the review guidelines and whistle abusive reviews when they come across them, and report severe cases of abuse to a review mod. Additionally, members are expected to write helpful reviews, offering constructive criticism and remaining civil even when the author refuses to do so. We must set a good example for other Newgrounders, in hopes that they will improve their own reviews as well.

4. Setting an example for others to follow.

Barracks members are expected to post intelligently, contributing to threads rather than merely dropping a one-liner opinion on it. Flaming, spamming, and other ban-worthy behavior is strictly prohibited, and extreme misbehavior will lead to removal from the EGB.

Members are also expected to act civilly towards all Newgrounders. You are expected to be helpful and patient when dealing with newer members, whether simply showing them the FAQ or explaining more complex concepts that they do not understand. Concepts such as fair voting, intelligent posting/reviewing, and keeping an open mind are essential for newer members to learn, and we are just the ones to teach them.

For those with more experience, you are expected to show respect and understand that they may, in fact, know more about Newgrounds than you do, even if you're a seasoned veteran. This applies both to fellow Barracks members and Newgrounders in the general population.

Members are expected to put reasonable effort into any flash or audio submissions, and be careful with who they become Portal Buddies with. We are quite generous with our definition of reasonable effort; examples of unacceptable submissions would be static images, single frames, ridiculously small loops, or purposefully bad music. Anyone submitting rulebreaking content would, obviously, be removed from the Barracks and reported to Wade.

5. Not starting shit.

As mentioned above, the Barracks has no enemies beyond those who break the rules of the site. Our roster has included current and former members of various flash groups, including the Clock Crew, Barney Bunch, and Kitty Krew, and we are open to anyone willing to follow our principles. Barracks members are expected to be civil to others and not start fights, and anyone found to be starting shit with anyone, even if they deserve it, will be removed. You are representing the Barracks with your actions, and if your actions do not reflect our principles, you will not be a part of the organization.

6. Remaining active with the group.

Barracks members are expected to remain reasonably active in the thread, as well as with their duties. Those who are inactive for long periods (months) may be removed from the roster at any time, and rollcalls are occasionally sent out to all members to determine who is active. Members who expect to be inactive for some time due to IRL reasons (such as school, employment, vacation, etc) should inform the Barracks in advance.

All Barracks members can go to the appropriate thread for discussion and voting. Remember that you must be logged in to view and post, and speak now or forever hold your peace.

It's actually part of the copypasta, lol, though sooner or later SOMEONE is going to do it anyway...

Thanks for telling me corky52 I'm really thrilled at being User Of The Day on NGLog. But how did I get to be that by the way? Is it like a random process? its really odd seeing me on the front page of NGLog it is really cool though. Again voted for KrevZabijak. Lots of polls and stuff I like it very much. Glad to see Turd Of The Week looks legit to me Zacied I actually quite liked the flash shame it got such a low score. After the shambles of the past two weeks nice to see it was fairly won I hope.

Unless they ask me to.

Barney Bunch?... Should I be afraid or not?

Ever wonder how Sirtom93 is doing?

The prison guard really didn't need to see that.

You really put lots of effort into that flash although you call it spam it was funny, the computer voices are so funny. Speaktonia like they use for Clocks make flash amusing they add to the humor. I read your blog on sirtom93 Idiot-Finder it was very funny, little sick though but it was a funny read. I played the sirtom93 game I could only play the one though it will be interesting to see if more games crop up like that now he has could be infamous. Talking of which its very odd his comments have no mention of the later events, would have thought people would have spammed his page. Welcome to the barracks KrevZabijak. Its cool your submitting flash again though.

I can't talk about my numbers right here because I haven't been really active in the portal lately. At least I haven't watched many things under judgment. But nowadays more things get protected than before, so actually it IS more difficult compared to years ago, when a lot of stuff got blammed. Now I'm not saying getting blam points is impossible, but just take a look at the portal:

Entries Blammed Yesterday 53
Entries Submitted Yesterday 117

So, if someone voted in every single flash yesterday, and got all points, he would have gotten more blams than saves... More than the double...

Now my current totals might not show that, but that's because I wasn't an honest voter when I first joined. Anyone who is an honest voter can keep their ratio below a 2.5 easily. Hell I have 10,000 more saves than I do blams and my ratio is still under 2.5 so I'm sure they can do it too.

It's good to know you're one of those people who changed their voting habits after realizing they were doing the wrong thing :)

People with more of a ratio than that either don't vote fairly or have just changed their ways of voting recently and haven't had them catch up yet.

Anything more than a 3.0 ratio is getting a little crazy though.

Yeah, you're right, but maybe we shouldn't be so strict. Usually in a day the saved/protected flashes ratio is not like that (3.0), but sometimes people miss some blam points because submissions which don't pass judgment get blammed in a short time, while the other remain longer. It happens to me all the time, I hate seeing the URL of flashes under judgment and realize I "lost" some blam points...
