The bot that oversees the game is absolute garbage and will ban anyone who gives any realistic review of a game if the creator of the game reports the review for being harassing. The site gives 0 respect for the users and too much power to absolute garbage creators who only release pay to win content or often demand money for a garbage game or movie. Yes the 5 second to 45 second quick play movies were great for 1998 but it is 24 years later and these "artist" who keep demanding more cash for not actually releasing anything actually good have far too much power. The site needs an overhaul badly. The person who runs the bot account that oversees everyone who makes a review has not logged into the site sense 2005 which is 17 years ago. Tom Fulk has not logged into Newgrounds sense June of 2007. The only way for this site to actually become good again is to actually have an active owner and people to actually run the site instead of an ancient botting system set up for back when artists actually took time in making actual artwork. At least 50% of the games on the site are blocked by a Paypal pay wall for the real game and they do not follow the actual rules. There is no such thing as purchasing anything really on the site. The site has too many movies and games that have not existed on the site for decades yet they still have the broken links. The botting system that runs the site is far to old and far too garbage to do anything with any real accuracy. The site has been abandoned by all actual leadership and ownership. The leveling system is utter garbage. The way the leveling system works is if you give a 0 review you get 0 points in your leveling system but if you give 1 to 4 you get 1 point but if you give a 5 star review you get 2 points and your points are basically xp. So in truth the only actual way to get your level to 99 which is max is to go onto every item and give 5 stars weather the item is actually good or utter garbage. The system does not give any real ranking in abilities. You do not even need to right a review all you have to do is go to any image and give 5 stars and do that about several million times and you will be maxed level. Tom Fulks account is only a level 15 which shows how utter worthless he actually cared about the site. The only reason why Newgrounds has any users at all is simple because Newgrounds is the only effective Flash using site left and the only reason Newgrounds is still a flash using site is because nearly 20 years ago Newgrounds created their own flash system for the site itself and then the owners and people who run the site forgot to ever change anything about the site. The site is far too old and far too antiquated to fix anything about it. To be honest the site does need a overhaul from ground up but that will never happen because the people who run the site all but abandoned the site completely and had abandoned the site well over a decade ago.
