There's very little difference between these two submissions

Not sure it's worth doing anything about, but I thought I would bring it up

So is this where I go to discuss questionable content? I'm actually looking for advice on this submission:

It seems this slideshow was made by a voice actress. The video is just her voice acting over the panels of a webcomic. While she credited the person who made the comics, I have no idea whether she has asked the artist for permission.

My opinion is you're right. Good find! There is some editing, but that's just normal let's-play stuff. There is no original narrative or animation that I can see in my skimming of it.

This guy https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/722244 Appears to have taken this game from this website https://www.meetandfuckgames.com/famous-toon/sparring-partner/ With the game having a completely different title than it has on the original website, with the creator being "Serega" and has no evidence of such content belonging to this particular user. The one user I can find with such content from that website is this user https://vadimgod.newgrounds.com/ . I'm going to go ahead and flag it, it looks sketchy. Just thought I share with you guys too, just in case.

All those opinions are correct, submission removed. Also thanks for the other report, that one was indeed stolen.

I feel a bit iffy on these. On the one hand, they are adding voices to it. On the other hand, it is technically a slideshow unless they are animating parts of it. I have seen things like this in the past but I think they either got removed or blammed due to extremely poor quality and essentially just being slide shows. @TomFulp, thoughts on this?

I think this could be ok if the comic creators are on board with it - they are both active on Twitter so I could try confirming with them and see if they'd be down for having a Newgrounds account. Ideally this entry could co-author them as well.

I agree with all of this. I'm not really opposed to NSFW content myself, but I can no longer comfortably browse UJ if someone else is in the room and would currently hesitate to recommend the site to anyone who hasn't already seen some shit. NG becoming an NSFW haven would be cool in a way but I don't think that's the site Tom or any of the big contributors wanted NG to be.

I think the obvious solution is just to filter it out, like Trickster suggested, but keep it easily viewable even if you're not logged in. Maintaining creator freedom and opposing censorship is something NG has been good for in the past and it's a more valuable stance today than ever before.

There's someone spamming game portal with these default asset games with nothing of value in them. All of them are uploaded by a different account made the exact same day. All of them use the same basic level, with same character, and spikes.
They all have names like Chupakabrik, Alan Korn, Chupakabrik adventure etc. These are pretty much the most worst type of spam.

Yeah, there's an insane amount of them.

Cleaned that garbage up by removing all of those, even keeping one of them is not warranted due to this clearly malicous behaviour. Thanks for the report.

Annoying, isn't he/she? There's no rule against submitting crappy submissions, per se. He submits about 1 per day now. That being said, I have him under review, and am hoping to get approval to act on all those same ol' same ol' submissions. He definitely has a one track mind, eh? As always, v0te appr0priately, however you desire. ;)

Found some animations that use copyrighted music without permission. I don't think this is allowed.
The second half of this submissions uses DMX's X gon' give it to ya.

The animation is really solid though. Hopefully they'll re-upload a clean version of it later.

This one uses Queen's "It's a kind of magic"

99% certain This is just a blatant rip off/copy of Cat mario AKA Syobon action.

The original game can be found here: http://www.gatobros.com/syobon.html
The only difference is the main menu and the music.
The uploader probably just stole this from somewhere, modified the title screen, menu, music and called it a day

Yeah, the TOS specifically states that you aren't allowed to upload anything that uses assets directly taken from mario games anymore.
https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/terms-of-use/game-and-movie-guidelines

Your game must not use Angry Birds or Super Mario Bros. characters/sprites.

The game clearly uses Mario model from New Super Mario bros.
How did this manage to pass judgement?

FIrst, this one uses copyrighted music, namely Sabaton's "Last stand"



These two are just gameplay footage of a megaman fangame and Street fighter V:




Finally this one is just a video essay about anime. Not an animation.

Yeah, there's an insane amount of them.


Is it just me or is the game portal getting constatly spammed by these Construct3-made default platformers made by freshly made accounts?

They all have the same placeholder graphics, same gameplay and nothing of value in them. They are just empty rooms with some spikes in them.

I found 11 of them a while back, and there's 4 of them there again. I also saw some others a couple of days ago but didn't mention them here. What's going on?



The last one at least has had it's sprites changed to mario. Having mario sprites in your game is banned though.
