Ok... for anyone who actually bothers watching for updates after all these years...

Basically... I got banned from reviewing all in a matter of a few hours. It seems as though it takes 1 strike to make you have to click the "i have read the rules for posting.. " crap... and 1 strike to not be able to post.

Well... I had 2 perfectly reasonable posts... they seemed to follow the rules. but NO! A bunch of people who are rating 5's on something that needed blamming so they could save a friend decided "hey... this kid doesnt like the video and his opinion differs from our own." So they went and found 2 of my reviews that were borderline... had them both marked. Both reviews were deleted within an hour or 2 of each other. I got a mail right after saying i had a review ban till 6/29/09. COME ON! Its a week long ban (just got around to posting on it today). WHAT BULLCRAP! They were borderline posts... reasonable considering every other post in the previous several pages. Some where like "F U <a UTHOR NAME HERE>" and had nothing else. Well... those still stay there. I said my opinion, and got banned for a while for it. Yet... people who say nothing worthwhile to the artist havent been even glanced at.

I think newgrounds is going to hell in a handbasket. The newgrounds staff is enabling it, and the community is either little kids who are sending it there... or actual useful people (like Krinkles, Egoraptor, etc.) who are trying to keep good stuff coming into the Portal... or people like me who cant do a lot at the moment, but are watching newgrounds slowly drift away.

ITS UNACCEPTABLE!

Btw... heres is a sample review (and the link to the movie). When I can post again... im posting that. I am willing to bet $5.23 (the amount of money in my left pocket) that it will be marked as useless, abusive, or get removed. Willing to take me up on that bet?

HEADER:While I hate our president for political reasons..
RATING: 1

I find this to be lack any good evidence or facts behind the dislike. I completely disagree with almost all of Obama's views. I disagreed with a several of McCain's views as well. But, I actually have reason to disagree. Your video just says you dislike obama. To improve your video, explain why! Why do you dislike him? Are you racist? Do you not like his views? Do you not like something he does compared to what he says he will do?

I personally dont mind that there is a video out here that protests obama's coming to power, and what he is doing with that power. Just provide some facts and the video may hold a lot more credibility.

(watch... one of the next people will call me racist anyway)

The animation is bad too. Try to clean it up please :)
