When you're just as deep in hell as I am, everything is worth laughing at as we're all going to hell eventually, may as well pave that road in laughter.

Review Guidlines.

Posted by Kanon - August 25th, 2011


Just a reminder for me and anyone else who wants to help keep this place clean, this is a quick reference copy&pasted from the rules themselves, as this is quicker to get a reference from.

Stay on the topic of the submission and do not make personal remarks or insults towards the author. This is a big offense. Telling artists "You suck!", "You should go kill yourself!", "You are gay!" etc., will get you banned and you may lose your account. Without our contributors Newgrounds wouldn't be what it is, so we take seriously any insults directed at them by reviewers.

Do not post TONS and TONS of crappy reviews just to get high in the rankings. If we catch someone doing this we will delete all their reviews - wouldn't that be a pain in the ass? Take your time and write a sincere review for every movie you wish to critique. Make sure your review is relative to the submission. Reviews that are found to offer no benefit to the author may be deleted.

Do not use the review space for the purpose of promoting things. Stick to reviewing the movies - we don't want to hear about how great your website is. Also, posting links to websites that reward you for sending hits is prohibited; we will delete your account for the first offense with no warning. Posting unrelated links is also prohibited and will result in a ban.

Do not flood the review title or body. Examples would be long strings of characters or words with no breaks or repeating words or phrases over and over. Do not submit images made from text and characters, as this will also get you banned.

Do not use reviews to express your feelings that the entry should be BLAMMED. If you post "BLAM this" or something similar you will be banned. Use the review option to tell the author how they can improve their work.

Do not use the review field to address other user's reviews you didn't agree with. You are to be reviewing the submission, not other people's reviews.
If you believe an entry is stolen, do not comment about it in your review. If you are wrong, you may convince other users that the entry is stolen and you may cause a legitimate entry to receive an unfairly low score, or have the whistle blown on it. Use the whistle option, if available, to flag the entry as stolen when you believe that is the case. If there is no whistle option available (the entry is no longer under judgment) contact Wade with as many details as you can about the stolen Flash and where you think it was stolen from.

If you think a submission doesn't belong on the front page of the site or shouldn't be featured in special sections of the site, keep it to yourself. The submissions on the front page and in special sections of the site are put there by our staff, not by the author. Keep your focus on how the person who submitted might improve their work.

Well...I agree bro, it's just that the review mods can do anything.

I know about the whole incident, it is rather sad as I wonder what'll happen to Canas

It's just that they don't abuse their power; this incident is an exception, only because canas was hacked.

It's not just a reminder but a quick reference, as Asandir and I got to talking how this would be easier to have users look at rather than look for the rules themselves, besides practically no one does.

reviewing is for nigs

Figs?

I survived Canas 2011 with my whistle intact.

Thats because you don't flag things. :P

I do flag shit occasionally, but not all the time.

I'm getting in a habit of doing so now thanks to Asandir.

You mean robot, of course.

You really got to get to know him.
