It gave me great pleasure to see that reanimator54 and his alts imastalker, imastalker2, and unknownbrowser are pretty much gone. imastalker and imastalker2 have been deleted, reanimator54 is just a default account, and unknownbrowser hasn't changed since his first post. That's one less troll on NG, hopefully. Freaking no-talent racist bastard, good riddance. I'm glad you and your homophobia, racism, crappy art, horrible voice acting, and terrible animation are gone.

Edit: Wow, you created yet another account, imastalker3, and left 72 comments on my post. Gee, you're a real winner. Maybe if you spent more time practicing your art and voice acting and less time spamming people, your work wouldn't be so poor. You want me to apologize for stating the FACT that your art, animation, and voice acting suck? I will not, and even if I did, it wouldn't change the fact that everything that you do is TERRIBLE.

Dude, seriously... stop making new accounts to harass me with. I've blocked all of your current ones, but you keep making more. Just stop. You have at least three accounts now, so fucking quit it, you homophobic, racist, douchebag, NO TALENT ASSHOLE. You're just another internet troll with no self-confidence that was abused by his uncle Gary all throughout his childhood and feels the need to project his own insecurities to others on the internet. Shut the fuck up, stop promoting racist stereotypes, stop calling people the n word, stop gaybashing people, and grow the fuck up. Get the fuck out of NewGrounds.

Edit: It amuses me to no end that reanimator54, imastalker, imastalker2, and unknownbrowser don't really exist anymore. I guess the troll either got bored and left or got what he deserved.

How do you report someone for harassment if it's outside of review space? Reviews can be reported, but there doesn't really seem to be a good way (or at least a well-publicized one) on how to report individual users for abuse. If anyone could leave a quick response with suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

I'm making this post because the person that prompted it is too much of a pussy to actually allow someone to respond to his asinine messages, so I'm posting it here. I hope he comments on this, as I'm sure he knows who he is, so that he can further show his ignorance. As a little background information, I left some constructive reviews on a couple of his submissions, and he think he's the second coming of Zombie Jesus of animation so of course, he whined to the mods and got a review of mine deleted and I was banned. Whatever, it was only a month. He then went on to spam my blog with his racist, homophobic retard-speech, all while sending me PMs of the same nature. Of course, since he is absolutely sure that he's the Flying Spaghetti Monster of Flash, he cannot take any kind of constructive criticism, so he calls people gay and insults them and immediately blocks them, preventing any kind of intelligent response (of course, I'm sure the intelligence is lost on him, but still...). So, after all this, he tries to send me a virus (which I, of course, don't get), spams my Inbox with 4 messages in a 20-minute period, makes a second account and pretends to be someone else when he sends me PMs, all of which is apparently OK for him to do without getting in trouble... but leaving a constructive review got me banned for a month. Sounds like if you cry to the mods instead of acting like an adult, they coddle you.

Anyhow, here is my response to you, guy. I hope you can understand... do note that there are numbers and those confusing things called "words" involved. Now, stop spamming my Inbox, and stop sending me virus links, fuckwit. I apologize to other readers for bringing petty matters into a blog post, but I felt that after I typed the response, it shouldn't be wasted. =)

"I can't understand a single "word," if that's what those atrocities you're using are called, that you are typing. You know, if you were the Jesus H. Fucking Christ of animation, as you think you are, wouldn't you have a batting average in the range of Egoraptor, The-Swain, Krinn, JAZZA, Chluaid, Krinkels, JohnnyUtah, etc., etc., etc.? Those are examples of people who are actually GOOD at animation/art/voice acting/ActionScripting/writing/etc. Even the worst of the Clock Crew and Flash Faggots and Kitty Krew are still better than you.

How is your batting average, huh? I'll tell you, since you are home-schooled and likely too stupid to know how to figure it out. Over the nine animations you've submitted, you have a batting average of a mere 1.401. Egoraptor, just as an example of those great artists I mentioned above, has an average of 4.247 for his 2009 submissions, and an overall average rating of 4.302 over the course of 3 years and 21 submissions. Plus, he has millions upon millions of views, hundreds of thousands of votes and he STILL has an average that high. This isn't golf... low scores are BAD, and high scores are GOOD, apparently a concept you have failed to grasp.

You are, and forever will be, a worthless sack of shite. Don't submit any more animations... they'll only drive your batting average down even more, as obviously, no one likes them. Get your retarded, homophobic, racist ass the fuck out of Newgrounds, because no one here wants you."

I said I'd post the review that I got banned for a month for posting, with the reason: "Trolling/harassing authors in review space. This is your only warning. Do it again and your account will be terminated."

The review was as follows:
===============
Score: 0 / 10
Summary: Terrible.
Review: The audio mastery was all over the place... first, I had to turn up the volume just to be able to hear it, and the next thing I know my speakers are being blown out. The animation was terrible, the art was terrible, and the dialog was terrible. First off, I hope you were joking when you had the doctor give it a rating... educational movies don't get theatrical ratings. Additionally, your facts weren't entirely accurate... you state diabetes can be caused by "too much sugar intake at all of your meals," where the more general "too much sugar intake" would have been more accurate, if it were true. The reference you cite, Wikipedia, does not state that too much sugar intake can cause diabetes; maybe you were confused about the part relating to the "hyperosmolar nonketotic state," which Wikipedia claims is often caused by patients drinking too many sugar-containing beverages. Also, one doesn't "get diabetes in [his] foot," as diabetes is a metabolic disorder, but rather gets a condition known as "diabetic foot."

Anyway, this isn't a place to cite Wikipedia, but my overall point is that you should both review your facts and script before making an animation. I mean the sentence "The risk of having diabetes is highly dangerous" makes no sense. Also the sentence: "About... at least... 171 million... people... worldwide..." was so poorly voiced and awkwardly spoken that it was painful to hear - it should definitely have been rerecorded. "Even worse, it can cause your eyes to go blind"... really, as opposed to what, my fingers going blind?

As for your wrap-up, you misspelled exercise; "go play a sport" IS exercise, and thus redundant; when you say "vitamin B3" it sounds like you say "vitamin BC;" you can't expect people to actually wear diabetic socks if they don't already have diabetes; and you say "smoke less," as if everyone smokes. The last point would be better presented as "don't smoke," because that way you reaffirm to non-smokers not to start while at the same time telling smokers to quit.

My final point is that half of what the doctor says after the video finishes is totally unintelligible. Does he actually say "what the blipblop?"
===============

Some of you may have seen my offer in some of my reviews floating around, but if not, I just wanted to offer my services to anyone who is looking for a spell/grammar checker prior to submitting something to the Portal. Spelling and grammar errors drive me nuts, so if maybe English isn't your primary language, or you just want another eye to make sure everything is kosher, feel free to send me your script and I'll be happy to revise it for you.

Ok... to continue my rant from before... another BIG problem I have about this site that I have no suggestions to get around is when people submit crappy Flash animations to the Portal that they KNOW will get BLAMmed, but they enlist the help of their friends that massively rate 5 to allow the submission to pass Judgment. Basically, they submit these one-frame pictures set to music, which involve almost no Flash knowledge whatsoever, or 5-frame looping animations of an eyepatch-wearing gay biker humping the air, or a poorly-drawn face rotating clockwise in front of an epilepsy-inducing flashing rainbow background... what fucking point do these animations serve? They involve minimal, if any, skill, and are grossly annoying to the general public. But, because these people can enlist the help of others to rate their animations high, they pass Judgment.

You know, I thought that by giving animations a low rating when they deserved one, I was doing a service to NG as a whole... telling the community "No, this animation is a piece of shit, don't fucking bother watching it." But, it turns out, that crappy animators unwilling to improve their skills have lots of friends at their disposal that more than outweigh my lonely "0" rating.

I don't know how this rating system could improve, maybe only allowing any user to vote on a submission once ever instead of once per day... I dunno. Most submissions in Judgment status aren't here for that long, so that solution probably wouldn't help anyway. I just think this system is broken, and needs definite fixing. I want my fucking BLAM points. These animations deserve to not only be BLAMmed, but deleted from the author's computer forever with no hope of retrieval.

Okay, I haven't been here very long, but I'm noticing something that is really pissing me off. Review scores are totally inaccurate, as the moderators feel the need to delete low-scoring reviews unnecessarily, even when they have not violated any Review-posting rules, and leave bullshit reviews that score way too high for something. A good example is an animation recently posted called Loldog. It is an 8-second animation that has no sound and required very little skill to create. Somehow, this passed Judgment... that part is bad enough. But to see that the only two reviews that are left both score the animation a 10/10, thus giving it a 10/10 average score pisses me off.

This animation is FAR from earning anything anywhere close to a 5, much less higher than that, and to see that the only reviews left give a 10/10 is obviously BS. One of the reviews has a subject of "wow" and the text is "that sure is one smart dog". This person obviously didn't even watch the movie, as the review has nothing to do with the content of the movie. And yet, this person felt the need to rate the movie a 10/10? Bullshit. The second comment down (aka the first comment posted) has a subject of "i agree" and the body "the dog is indeed very funny"... the dog's image is changed into an outlined T-Rex/Dog hybrid, and ROAR! is written next to it... that's all. If this person finds that funny, he needs a serious change to his sense of humour, ASAP. This reviewer also rated 10/10.

Might I remind you that this animation is only 8 seconds long... why would anything that short be rated a perfect score? Even some of the VERY BEST animations on NewGrounds aren't frequently given perfect scores by reviewers due to minor problems, i.e. lip syncing, audio, minor graphical/programming bugs, etc. There is, in many cases, something that the author did not catch before posting that might make the difference between a score of 9 and a score of 10. So, if a very good animation that someone (or multiple people) spent weeks/months drawing, animating, scoring, fine-tuning, etc. does not receive a perfect score from reviewers, why would something that someone spent 3 minutes creating with very little effort get perfect reviews?

It's bullshit, because due to review deletions, submissions receive scores they don't deserve. Will a poster ever try to improve his Flash skills if he submits bullshit and gets perfect scores every time? Hell no, there's no incentive. Why create something over the course of a few months and involve hundreds of man-hours in the creation of something decent when you can just whip together something in 3 minutes, one-handed, without a Wacom and have the moderators remove the haters and keep all the higher rated scores?

I see the NG community as a place for Flash animators to submit their work to a large audience so they can receive suggestions on how to improve their work, or to showcase their abilities. When people deliberately post junk animations or games, it defeats the purpose of this site and wastes everyone's time. But, of course, when a low-scoring review is left for the animation, it is deleted and you receive a Review Ban with no explanation as to why, even though you didn't violate the rules. I've been here a little over a month, and so far have received 3 Review Bans. One of them was merited, I'll give you that... but the other two were over reviews that scored low and politely offered suggestions on how to score higher in the future.

Basically, I just feel like this system is useless; I mean, I take my time to review submissions to help people out, and then I end up punished because of it. If a submission deserves a low score, for fuck's sake let it get a low score... that says to the community and to the author that his submission is not up to par, and to work on his skills.

Anyway, I've been drinking and have started to repeat myself, so I'll end my post here... feel free to leave comments, though I'm sure no one will ever read this.
