Newgrounds Review System.

Posted by teejay-number13 Jul. 23, 2008 @ 2:16 PM EDT

So... Why the hell does Newgrounds delete so many reviews? I personally have had a lot of my reviews deleted. Even some that were years old. So what is going on? I haven't submitted any flashes yet, so I don't know how it works. Is it the artist that deletes the review or is it the newgrounds team? Either way...

Okay, so newgrounds says that we should encourage flash makers and not destroy their self-confidence with negative reviews because then people will stop making flashes and newgrounds will cease to exist. What kind of bullshit-ass reason is that? There will be people that do not give a shit about my opinion and will keep submitting more then enough to sustain newgrounds. So why the fuck does newgrounds have a blamming system? Getting my flash blammed would discourage me ten times more the a bad review. This whole thing is like amazon.com saying, "Don't leave a negative review for a bad item because then people won't buy it and that will lead to our bankruptcy even though there are still millions of other good items to buy."

Why even bother having a review system if you can only leave good comments. I don't give a shit how much other people like bad flashes just as others don't give a shit how much I hate them. Leaving a negative review is really just for my own amusement. It's fun. If I tell someone to kill themselves because they made a bad flash, and they do go kill themselves, I say goodbye to bad rubbish. Whoever would do that is seriously messed up and probably has serious other issues anyway.

Jesus Christ. On crutches. It's gotten so bad that even my neutral reviews are getting deleted. So Newgrounds says that your reviews should be helpful and have constructive criticism. Well, unfortunately some flashes are so bad and so pointless, the only way they could be better is if they simply did not exist. As anyone with any measure of intelligence should know, when you put something up for public display, in this case flashes, you should expect both positive and negative reactions. That is the way of a free-thinking and free-speaking society. Learn from the negative and enjoy the positive. If getting a negative review for your flash is enough to discourage you from making anymore (or killing yourself), the grow the fuck up. You don't need to be doing it in the first place.

Some argue that newgrounds is their site and not mine and they can delete reviews if they want. That is true, and I will continue to leave hateful reviews for bad flashes. If they delete my account, I will make another account. If just one person reads my hateful review, then I am successful.
