Wellllll, considering you have nearly no posts, i'd say GET AT LEAST 50 GOOD, NOT SPAMMY POSTS. :D

Holy crap, look who the cat brought in. PORKCHOP! Too long no see friend.

I think that covers pretty much everything. It's a lot of information to swallow, but you'll get it eventually. PM me if you still need help or are confused.

This hopefully should cover information to any additional new users that stumble up here.

Hopefully I'm not being a nuisance here

That was a great deal of good information that kind of came out of nowhere, good work. I hope Gokuss reads it. And stops being so spammy cause I will put my foot down somewhere.

Whoa Zombie... I did not expect a wall of useful facts to pull a deux ex machina. I'm quite impressed by your applicable knowledge of the whistle system. As Spiffy said, I hope new users will take advantage of this wealth of convenient information bestowed upon us.

Also, to clarify on goku's behalf:

- Spam flashes are not abusive, therefore they should not be whistled. As a matter of fact, the Portal has recognized spam as a distinct category for submissions, appropriately named Spam. So in other words, just vote on spammy submissions as how you feel about it.

- That submission you reported earlier with the shredder isn't really racist. The person being shredded, Gary Coleman, recently passed away so I guess the author was trying to troll some folks. It just so happened that he's black, but racism that was probably not the author's intention when he made that flash. While it is highly disrespectful and distasteful, it is not considered abusive. Personally I would've blammed it myself though...

- It would take more than one whistle to get a movie flagged and pulled off for admin review. Even if you had the deity whistle it would take more whistles - the highest level whistle for normal NG'ers like us.

Keep on learnin, boyo.


Happily ETS'd.

Quite a bit has been going on lately. We've definitely been growing well as a crew over the past months and a lot of people are becoming active in portal duty too! Of course, you may also notice some new faces around here. I see you're trying to get back on the NG scene huh? Our doors are always open for you, Sectus :)

Ugh, I pressed f5 accidentally before posting the whole lyrics... So sorry Tails... :'( NO MORE RAMMSTEIN.

Also, that flash is very suspect, since the games from that author are just as like that other guy, Games2...

What do you guys think?? I couldn't find the stolen flash, but if someone finds it, contact us...

I found several sites that hosted the exact same game, but I cannot prove for sure who the original author is, all of the other sites I found did not state who the creator of it was. Not only that, I found that his other submission, Tower of Hanoi, can also be found on other sites. Same case, I cannot find out who the original author for that one is either.

Extremely suspicious indeed, but I can't prove that they are stolen.

But a common theme in his submissions is that they're all math-based and extremely generic. Looks like we might need to do some further investigating.

Which then brings this to light as well:

the "author" joined March 20th of this year. He has no link to the BadHed site and no other flash submissions to his name.

I think that one's the real deal. I found that the game is also hosted on Kongregate and is authored by someone named Voodoo Alliance as well. Moreover, the game over there was submitted today. Google search didn't pull up any more results for this game that isn't the one in NG right now and Kongregate. I'd leave that one alone.

While somewhat suspicious, it cannot serve as proof for theft.

- No link to the source of flash

Good point. Authors should be wary to inform viewers that the game is hosted elsewhere.

- No flash (nor other submissions)

Cannot be used as proof against a user.

- No favorites

What does that have to do with anything?

- 0 BBS posts, 0 reviews, 0 B/P, and 20 EXP

Irrelevant.

- All caps comment

While it is annoying, that may just be an author's disposition with the keyboard. Has no bearing on the nature of the flash.

- Authors' Comment itself is suspicious

Perhaps, but not conclusive.

- 2010 sign up

Irrelevant

- Strangly impressive flash for first flash submission

Maybe he's aware of the cardinal rules (AKA "never submit your first flash creation").

- Flash found in another website

That's important, but that must also follow up with other factors such as the author on THAT other site, date of submission, etc. Remember, we are looking for concrete evidence, not details that merely implicate the author. It is difficult and it may not be the most efficient, but it is the fairest way.
