Not a bad idea. I'm not the one who would be able to implement it, but until something like that is available I could probably "bump" submissions on a case-by-case basis. It has to be done one at a time, so I would hope it's relatively infrequent. Just let me know when a big update is happening to a submission and I'll see about making sure people see the latest and greatest stuff. :)
I don't want people to abuse this, so I'm going to insist the updates are more than minor changes. However, in your case, AndumDeluge, I'm pretty confident the submission I assume you're referring to would qualify :)
Also, if it turns out there are other ramifications to this I didn't foresee, I'll have to discontinue. Just putting that out there.
You've complained numerous times in the first 4 hours you've been on OGA, and we've done pretty well to address those complaints already. We already warn uploaders that they shouldn't upload questionable content. We warn them in multiple places. Sometimes they do anyway. Sometimes we don't have telepathic powers and don't realize right away they are questionable. However, as soon as we do realize, we correct the situation.
If you're against people uploading questionable content, why would you post a script on how to extract and use the questionable portions of a game package?
I would say "thanks for pointing out an issue with copyright" but there isn't one here. The sounds you referred to were never part of this submission.
This very package was uploaded to OGA before by a different user, but it included the questionable portions I have omitted, so it was unpublished. The original uploader refused to stop uploading questionable content, refused to admit the content was unethical, and refused to correct submissions with questionable licenses. For these reasons, he was banned. Don't act like OGA welcomes copyright infringement. When we find it, we deal with it.
@Omerolvey: are you encouraging people to use copyright-infringing works? If the sounds are not openly licensed, I won't be adding them. The questionable nature of the sound effects is the reason I never included them in the first place.
@Omerolvey: What sounds are still present from Sound Ideas Series 6000 General? Sanglorian got the infringing ones removed that Undesired pointed out. Please indicate here on this thread which ones remain.

This game looks like a lot of fun. I'm interested in those formulas and statistical graphs for balancing, too. How does that work?
Does any of Scorpio's stuff match what you're looking for? http://opengameart.org/users/skorpio

@Qubodup: Can you shed some light on the source and license of these sound effects? Until then, I have to mark this as having a licensing issue.

Why would I add them if they're infringing on copyright?
how about 'confused' or 'surprised'? As if the monster just heard the player sneaking around, or just got damaged by a critical hit.
