So if, in you 4 scouts per day, you scout one person, and that one person gets unscouted... you get unscouted and all the people you scouted get unscouted.
Yes this was really thought through.
Or you just have a terrible database programmer and are covering for that.
No. You may offer to scout 4 users per day. If one of them accepts your offer and is later unscouted 1 of 2 things will happen to you. 1, nothing. 2, if he was breaking enough rules and your scouts trend on the poor side of quality and honesty you will be castrated, which means you won't lose the scouts you have but you will no longer be able to scout others.
Thanks for doing this. I'm going to create an audio portal FAQ thread and sticky it with this guide because I keep getting asked about this over and over again.
I'm not terribly familiar with the audio portals scouting system but my guess is that it is the same.
Hrm yeah it's similar but I think there might be differences.
Someone breaks a rule or something and a whole bunch of people gets punished. This doesn't seem all that fair to be honest.
Normally the offending rule is caught early and there aren't a large number of people effected by the prune.
Most of the stuff in the Art Portal are either GIFs or drawings made in Illustrator or gimp. Is it ok to post pictures of crafts? sculptures? I just want to define what art should be in the portal.
Yes you may post photos of traditional work you have made. As long as you made it.
Extremely handy! I'll keep it in mind--- probably--- hopefully. Just waiting for that day that sempai will notice me!
The only reason i want to be scouted is so i can use a geometry dash song
hmm.. Really hard for me.. how can I scout??
Just wondering, how do you contact a mod? Also, how do you the difference between being castrated and pruned?
You can contact mods via PM. Art mods include myself, TurkeyOnAStick, Cairos, LegoLass, Lovingthedark, ImpendingRiot, and any of the admins.
I don't understand why newgrounds feels the need to have this absurd scouting system. Even when CG Hub was still around (now being replaced by CG Beat) anyone could join and submit content, though you wouldn't get noticed unless you were good, does it really matter if people submit bad art or even good art that goes unnoticed assuming that the bad art inherently gets hidden by the good?
On all the art websites I'm on, CHBeat (formally CG Hub) I think has the best setup, where anyone can join and submit, but the website inherently promotes good art, so there were bad artists on it (myself included when I was starting out), but you would still get some views and the great art was promoted (Unlike deviantart)
Newgrounds seems like a very exclusive club that thinks it knows the value of something. The assertion of the average user on NG is that Newgrounds is my personal internet space and I only want very specific things that I like in my space, and if I hate them, BLAM - GTFO (you know, everything by everyone, unless we all hate it, and if we hate it, get the fuck out). That doesn't sound like an ECHO CHAMBER does it? Anywho, Scouting is dumb, there is no incentive for COMPETITION (other artists looking for exposure or work) to scout you. Scouting in reality (in real life) is done by employers looking for talent, not competition.
Hentai Foundry had a decent system that is preferably to scouting, art is accepted on a quality basis by moderators who then add it to daily entries. Regardless of who you are on the site, as long as the art is decent it will get in. As opposed to, one day, on a whim, your competition might throw you a bone (unlikely unless they absolutely love your art, if the happen to find it on accident).
interesting
Now, i am in love with Newgrounds... I din't know anything about scouting at all... i was just simply posting art as i made, Scouting is such a unique way to encourage artists... And the treasure was the personal advice. Thank you very much...
What incentives are there for scouting other artists? I imagine a lot of artists are like: "Yes, Got scouted, fuck everyone else". Also I'd like you to see my art and see what I could improve on.
Thanks, that was really helpful, I had a hard time trying to figure out what scouting and all that was.
Only reading the first part of this has already been extremely helpful. My thanks to you sir.
I know a lot more now! Just one thing...
I am certain what I create is worthy of getting scouted, I have 5 pieces and not a single one was stolen, ALL were hand drawn in pen and scanned onto my computer, they arent just doodles or pathetic sketches either, to me theyre proper masterpieces. None of them are shit so am I just unnoticed?
I would greatly appreciate any more help or tips you might have ;3
Interesting system, however what is the incentive for people to scout other people? Wouldn't some people see it as a negative as it just brings them more competition in the art portal? Well I guess you get some you lose some.
Thanks for the useful information and for scouting me!
This is very friggen helpful, time to submit a sht tonn of drawings that I think are good!

what if you keep making 'bad work'? means you will never be acknowledge?
ornery
If the quality of work you are producing is obviously what is stopping you from getting scouted, then yes, continuing to produce bad work will get you nowhere.
