I don't know about you guys but all I'm getting is a screen that if you click anywhere it just redirects you to another site. Which is contrary to NG's rules of submission.

Well, lets just find out about that, shall we? :)

Hmmm... it seems that now it takes you to a "Removed by the NG moderation team" screen. How odd...

Very, very odd indeed. I'd even goes as far as to say 'quite a strange occurrence'. I wonder how that happened. *giggle*

Okay a user just PM'd me this. I just copy/pasted it here for your perusal.

can you let a mod be aware of this? my children stumbled upon this today and it is extremely inappropriate. it is listed under simulation / pet/buddy games and should not even be under games, much less shown without an age checker.

I agree with A-E that it's not a game but it is rated M. With that said though it's just basically a .Gif. So do as you please with it.

There's a small, quite overlookable arrow in the lower corner which does stuff, so it is interactive. I adjusted the rating; it should've been higher. That said, it doesn't break any of the rules, other than being rated correctly, which has now been done, so I've gotta leave it up. I may have to kick her review, since you can't tell authors what does and doesn't belong.

Though, in some ways, I agree with her. The submission was some kinda deviant sumthin. :\

Is there a trick to getting this to work. I've tried clicking start and every button on my keyboard and I'm getting nothing.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2015-05-09 13:21:49


This seems to be a gameplay of sorts based on the model animations. Description makes me suspect it may also be stolen.

To kind of add on to recent conversation, I've submitted movie only submissions that I created to the flash portal YEARS ago. Not only were they pretty well received some of them even won awards. It has never been and never will be against the rules to upload "YouTube quality" submissions no matter what your opinion is on them. In fact, if you're voting zero on them for just that reason it's pretty silly. Just ignore styles that you don't like. Just because you don't like them doesn't make them bad.

Just think of how Numa Numa was first submitted to newgrounds way back when.

You're right. The criteria for quality lately seems to be changing however, as are the opinions on what is acceptable and what isn't. I remember when the EGB used to be a big, friendly lounge rather than a place to report abusive submissions. While I think it's awesome that the portal is better defended from malicious flashes, I do miss some of the people. I wish I had stuck around a few years back.

Anyway, I don't think anyone is saying these types of submissions are rule breaking so much as that they aren't the type of entertainment NG should support with ad revenue; that is, if the content is not quality entertainment, funny, or thoughtfully made, NG's dollars shouldn't be flooding the submitter's pockets. Point blank, the majority of YouTube videos don't take as much work to create as your typical flash movie or game -- no scripting, no animation, no real skill involved, unless you're an actor or a comedian. Numa Numa was something new, as far as it was catchy and a little ludicrous. Most of the "YouTube material" I see on NG these days is about as imaginative or entertaining as your average garden brick, and it feels like spam.

I don't think YouTube-esque submissions should be auto blammed, but voting fairly and justly is important. YouTube doesn't have a filter on what content passes through, but it's our job, the user base's job, to ensure the content here is up to par, fresh, and worthy of the money NG doles out in ad revenue. That's what keeps NG going, our votes. So, when I see a video I enjoy in the portal, my vote reflects that. When I see one that's clearly a money grab, spam, offensive, poorly thought out, and slapped together, naturally, I'm going to vote like so. If I think it's intentional, I may comment about it, but it's ultimately up to the individual whether any submission is blam worthy or not.

Great food for thought, @Fro

Shovelware.

Uploaded by the same guy. When the loading screen reached 100%, clicking the play button led me to their website, but if you wait awhile after it reaches 100%, it will automatically lead you to the game's main menu. Is it considered abusive in some way?

" It's just one level of another platformer created by a guy who makes videogames."

Author states that he stole this level from a game that was created by another.
