I was banned from the Newgrounds forum for three days.

Hooded_Miracle · 01-11-2009

My thread was titled "Hewwo, I'm new!" and I introduced myself and said what I was planning on doing.

It was labelled as spam, and I have a three day ban.

What?

..You expect Newgrounds to be friendly?

Just act like a total asshole and troll, and you'll do fine on Newgrounds.

EDIT: And don't use cute words, like "Hewwo"

Meh, I don't hang around Newgrounds for a reason. I tolerate assholes and Trolls only around here.

Okay, I found the rules of the Newgrounds forum here: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/rules.html

Apparantly it's against the rules to make "Hi, I'm new" threads. Also it seems like they expect you to read ALL the rules of forum conduct or about Newgrounds before you do anything and they have zero tolerance to Leet speak and ignorance of the rules. If you happen to get banned for a few days from here, well tough luck, you should have read the rules first. <- These guys are flipping strict.

Almost makes me glad I have no desire to be part of their forums.

Actually, it completely does make me glad I have no desire to be part of their forums.
