Hope its gets sorted out i hope my message are helpful and clear, this user is fishy all right. The comments maybe correct but the naming and wrong address, ring alarm bells in my head.

You will force them into a Lotus position. TAKE THAT HOW YOU WILL.

Very nice, my own position, not the traditional one, I mean, I have to put my own twist on it. XD

So, with boot camp, will it be left to my judgment as to who needs it, will others appoint people they feel need it, or will it be a mix of the two?
When we're discussing a potential new recruit, members will be able to recommend Boot Camp if the prospective is lacking in an area or two (but not lacking so much that they shouldn't be allowed in). Now, if someone is having problems, whether we recommended (rather, required) them to undergo an adjustment period, you can handle that, along with offering it to people at your discretion.

Sounds good to me, I'm just waiting for someone new to come about, not really to hassle them, but just run them through the basics, let them know our style of doing things, and point them in the right direction with everything. :)

So yeah, pretty much a mix. I suspect most of it will be me telling people "yes, you're allowed in the Barracks, but unless these conditions", but there might be some of you or another EGB member saying "oh shit, we didn't realize how much this guy sucked at [this]", lol.

Rofl, I gotcha, so basically play it by ear. If someone is said to need help with something, or admits it, then I'll give the 'problem area' a look, and use my discretion at figuring out what should be done, whether it be just telling them the basics, or pointing out problems areas and attacking them head on. ^.^

If the problem wasn't addressed at their acceptance, use of PM by you or another member can spare them from being called out in front of everyone.

Sounds great, it's really something I would like to do with others over the PM system, as to not point out their 'flaws', and seem as if I'm waving them in their face. I would say something publically though under two conditions, one being if they ignore warnings and help to correct something, and persist in doing wrong, and two being if they just need a general outline of things. I'd like to give the outline publically since it will not only help new member, but also allow those here who may have forgotten some things, a refresher. :D

Well here is another obvious stolen submission, but it has already made it pass judgment. You may want to put it on your list so you can PM Wade about it. Also, everyone can mark the stolen reviews while it's there I guess. His author comments say that he stole it from a website and people still don't notice it? That just goes to show how many people vote without watching or even reading the author comments.

One good thing happened to me yesterday.

I finally entered the Top 300 B/P list! It took me quite longer than I expected, because of my semi-absence during August. I could've been there earlier this month, about two updates ago.

Now that I entered there, I'm feeling more motivated to B/P. I'll try to get around 300 B/P this week, something which hasn't happened in a while.

This is weird, lots of stolen Flashes were submitted yesterday. I counted 6 of them, plus a malicious one which spawned a battle-load of pop-ups. I didn't post it here because, when I was about to post, I got flagged. Hopefully the staff deals with that guy's IP.

What surprised me, though, is that some of the stolen Flashes passed judgement. I hope that Wade reads your PM, lassuk. What was the title of it, by the way? A good title should get his attention.

I have a feeling that This might be stolen. I don't like to flag unless I know for a fact that a submission was originally made by a different author, but it looks kinda suspicious. Anybody know for sure?

It's suspicious looking alright. I found it on another site here, so it would appear to be stolen at first glance. Sadly though because this isn't a "big" site there's not much to say definitively that the author on NG is not the original author. The email domains don't match up, but I don't think that's enough.

What set alarm bells off for me was the username, but seeing as Monolith is already taken up (a 00 user who's done NOTHING) it might just be him using an available alias.

Yes i think your right look at the author profile http://pinutk.newgrounds.com/news/post/2 00873. Its looks like he is stealing games i will blow the whistle, i dont think its made by him.

Back to the not so active Portal!

The name of the stolen game is Ragdoll VolleyBall http://www.bubblebox.com/play/sport/1152 .htm. I think in answer to Corky52 i dont tend to put the name of the game ,in the header but only the link maybe that would be better. The user http://maccymacle.newgrounds.com/ I saw in Rage's thread this morning Acid posted the link, but I saw his profile and I could not make out. If it was his or if he took it what do you think?. Now in regards to my grammar do people mean my spelling or punctuation.

Here's another Mario game posted by the same guy. I don't know for sure if he's stealing these, but the way he presents himself and "his" games really tells me that they're not his. I'm flagging it this time. >:/

I can't believe I missed all the stolen flash, could've used the points, but oh well.

Not that I ever approve of stolen things being submitted, that's just utter shit, but flagging them does have more than one benefit. :D

Lol, yeah it but it means that the portal is getting poor ... I'm not saying that all submissions are shitty but I'm impressed by the number of spammy submissions that pass trough the portal. All these spammers mass vote on their flashes and it's getting very hard to blam a submission :P. Though, why are there so many stolen games/flashes these days ? It's really strange.

Comes to find out why I've been sick and tired all of the time lately wasn't only from my cold, but it was also from my staff infection, which was giving me a nasty fever. I'm going to get it taken care of today, even though it's stops me from working out this morning because I can't be in the weight room spreading staff around to everyone.

I agree, it could be for a number of reasons tho. My theory is there are a few more stupid people in the world then there were a month or two ago. The fact that it is getting harder to blam flashes is a big problem tho. Then some members are going to start picking up bad voting habits just for the save point.

Yes, definatly :S.

Yeah it's stupid because you can earn points blamming a submission. But I think they mass save for two reason : it's easier to protect a submission than to blam and because submissions are twice as many protected than blammed (these two things are linked).

Well, mass voting on the part of spammers really isn't the issue.

I know for a fact that with the KK, and the SS, they don't mass vote anything to get it through the portal, nor do they proxy (some members of the KK did do this, but it wasn't supported by the group). So the real issue is people vote on something because they'd rather have another save, than vote on something for what it deserves.

With the stolen shit, people seem to want attention, and will do anything to get it, even if it means stealing something.

Sounds good, I don't have much time there due to me working, trying to get things ready for the future, and well, I'm sad to say I am facing a bit more things to do first and foremost before I can come online and relax.

I must of missed most of the stuff going on with the portal and the rest of newgrounds today as I've been out all day and the time that I have been in I've been studying, but when I just came back I noticed that no new submissions were being submitted. Oh well, I'm sure whatever it is the staff will be able to fix it. Also, I noticed that I said I had a staff infection even though I noticed the spelling mistake now and I realize that it's staph. I had it taken care of today though and the only thing I can't do is workout until it clears up.

You guys seen the changes made to the display of the left hand side of the flash pages? That's probably why we couldn't vote earlier.

Yeah, it's pretty cool I guess. What I really like is the fact that you can now not vote on submissions until after you have loaded them. That won't slow down people from voting a certain way too much, but it will at least slow them down a little.

Let me take that back. It was like that for a little bit, but I guess it was another error because people can now vote before they watch the movie again. I guess even after they watched the movie and it completely loaded they still couldn't vote on the movie so they had to change it back to the old way.

Yeah, I noticed that, they changed the voting delay then changed it back again. I had watched a flash all the way through and the voting pannel was still grey even after the flash was done. 0.o I suppose they were having some problems with it or something and changed it back. :/
I do love the changes, though. Seeing the user avatars makes it a little less blah. The addition of the genre is also a great idea. I've only seen one flash with the genre of "Spam" so far. lmao

That would explain why maybe we could not vote, I was very worried something was wrong with my mac. It was annoying getting that message though. The new icons are weird but I like the the author picture strange, but like the reviews you soon get used to it. Wish my mac would stop fucking about sound struck again, no reason It just freezes. Really pisses me of as I hate when the fucker does that. The spell checker is annoying as well.
