Yellow!! My name is El Texinator (seh, seh!), and I am a recent addition to Newgrounds. I have been a big fan of the site for quite some time, though our e-mail accounts have been generally screwed for awhile, and therefore it took me some time to jack in

REVOLUTION ON NEWGROUNDS

Posted by ElTexinator Apr. 1, 2009 @ 8:05 PM EDT

My comrades, brothers, sisters, cousins-in-arms! It has FINALLY COME! The Revolution is here!
Our esteemed Chairman Fulp has finally come to his senses and made Newgrounds a Website of the People! Huzzah, Communism has succeeded! And you all deserve it! May the Chairman RAGE upon the many Spammers that have ravaged our image, and let death come on swift wings to them all!

BLESS MAO!

Spam Flash

Posted by ElTexinator Apr. 9, 2008 @ 12:58 PM EDT

There's lots of things on the Internet that grinds my gears. However, nothing grinds my gears more than this site and it's spam flash. Now, don't get me wrong, but I think Newgrounds is one of the most awesome centers of the Internet culture. And I definitely understand if it has it's flaws; flaws make people perfect. However, people usually strive to fix their flaws. So far, I've seen no dilligent processes that strive to fix the error of spam flash present on Newgrounds.

But, you may ask, what is spam flash to you? Spam flash is the poor quality, joke-like, Paint-made junk the likes of the so-called [KK] (or kitty krew, I think they're called) among other less-known groups and individuals, make and submit to Newgrounds, expecting them to pass the judging in the Flash Portal. To my great surprise, these cheap mockeries of Flash art seem to somehow get into the site, regardless to how many blam attempts people make. I do believe that existing KK members seem to clump their positive votes as a means to get this junk into the site. I do believe they are malicious, as they simply sit there, and continue to come in, regardless of their topic.

With no disrespect to Mr. Fulp and the Newgrounds admin, I think this is a poorly managed problem, the likes which damage the reputation of the site and it's members. These spammers submit this junk as an attempt to deliberately destroy Newgrounds. I may sound a bit extremist, but, seriously, this practice disturbs me a bit.

I wish that the admin could take steps toward disbanding these groups of spammers, banning individuals that practice this, and deleting permanently the "work" they submitted to the site. I can't threaten anything personally; I'm just a citizen of Newgrounds who only wants a comfortable, enlightening, fun experience online among respectable people. As uptight as I may sound, it is a sincere wish. And I'm sure many share my dislike of spammers everywhere.

Could the administration seriously consider this, or will you let this run amok forever?
