Subjective Rating: Bad/Very Bad
Explanation - Undoubtfully, this rating is for websites that have very glaring flaws, to the point they don't deserve any positive recognition, and rightly so. In similar vain to the Good/Great rating, there are certain positive qualities that prevent them to be extremely low-effort, but that is far from being a compliment.
Reason: What I find extremely frustrating about this whole site, is that on the behalf of the people's grievances against the site, is that I am getting left in the dark in terms of what sort of violations I am doing. That is a very important principle, but that has been neglected.
And more so, why isn't there a rule of rule system for this site where both administrators and mods, are equal under the rules, like forming rules for them to follow so they won't abuse their authority? If they are to break them, then they should have their status stripped away without question. Just because both rules and laws have a purpose, does not automatically make them pure and above critique, especially if they get corrupted and warped by mortal nature. Anyone who thinks otherwise are deluded.
I have been uploading my TF2 Freak artistry on the website, and they have been removed for no given reason, and have left me in the dark as a result. I confronted Newgrounds on that, and as it turns out, their policies are unbalanced, corrupt, and also straight up tyrannical. In short, the basis for them being removed, is because of them using other "assets," in other words, SFM aesthetics. Even if I am using the assets, that does NOT automatically mean, that I am claiming ownership of those assets. I did not even say ANYWHERE, that I owned them.
Then they had the utter gall, to lock up the thread when I am about to further confront them, considering their toxicity and cowardice. I just honestly wish democracy gives birth to rule of rule in terms of businesses and educational fields like schools, so everyone else (especially the people in charge) to be equal under the rules that have been founded, and to have much more accountability against corrupt upper-managements. Unsurprisingly, I got blocked from messaging TurkeyOnAStick, further proving my point that they are cowards. They also avoided my questions, specifically which says the following: "Let me ask you a simple question, do you honestly think that you moderators, as well as the administrators, firmly think you are above the laws, especially rules? Yes or no?"
Another thing that I have to point out, is that Newgrounds had implemented a feature where people have private messaging disabled, and in the process, the higher-ups will not be held to account, so we cannot reach them. I will have no sympathy for them if they are to get not only sued, but to have their business temporarily shut down for several years as a punishment for abusing their authority, and taking advantage of their own userbase. At the same time, I would feel sorry for the lower employees who have to put up with the callous stupidity and their total disregard for freedom and disgraceful abuse.
I hate abuse of power.
