It's no coincidence that my account is approximately as old as the movie Miss Congeniality.
Been on Newgrounds even before 2001 on a different alias. I will be bringing some of my future film work here.

Are you getting a Portal Buddy request from someone you don't know? You should read this.

Posted by MrCongeniality - September 2nd, 2009


I think the DD or KK is targeting us with something new here and trying to get us to be their portal buddies so their can co-author us with their stupid spam movies, but I'm not entirely sure.

I just got a PM from a user saying "I am making a movie about you......But I need you to approve my flash buddy request...". I have never talked to this user, had interactions with, heard of, or even seen this user on Newgrounds before.

Just because someone random wants to be your portal buddy doesn't mean they actually want to work on collaborations with you. If you remember, the DD posted movies and shared their credits with their many alts, and when the site admins deleted the users with the spam movies, the accounts associated with the spam flashes attached to the main account that uploaded the flash were removed as well. Frankly, if you add someone you don't know, and they use their submissions to take advantage of you and you get your account deleted, I don't think people like Wade will think twice about removing your account, because you were dumb enough to allow someone to co-author you, someone that you did not know.

Now, if these users want to make a movie about you, that is fine, but you are not involved with the creation or production of this movie, so why co-author? You are probably thinking "Well I don't have a flash movie and this will get me recognized because someone will do it for me" or "this will help my batting average", but boy oh boy...what if you get online tomorrow and your account on Newgrounds no longer exists? Wouldn't that stink?

If someone's ever dumb enough to do something like accept a buddy request by someone they don't know, they deserve to get their account removed.

Exactly.
