Because the shit posts far outnumber the serious posts. Not just first posts. I'd like to think there are mature people on Newgrounds that will actually help people with their problems, which I do believe there are, but those people are a minority at the moment.

Wait, is there some reason to ask advice on Newgrounds? What's your problem?

Its called asking for seriousness out of a clown barrel that plopped itself out of a giggling stoner's anus. Do you really expect much more than a pie to the face?

Newgrounds has always been a funny site. I love those first replies. You never know what you're gonna see.

Again, Newgrounds isn't a 100% immature people infested rat's ass. There ARE people here that actually give advice to those who need it.

They just want to be the first person to reply to the thread. So they type the first thing they can think of.

Yes, but it seems like really misplaced questions. This place is definitely mostly immature people infested rat's ass, you shouldn't really complain.

Newgrounds is a place for fun, don't step on the toes of those who are trying to have fun by saying whatever they want.

You people don't seem to understand my argument here, so I'm going to put both my major points here plain and simple.

Point 1: "lololol falcon punch rape her hur hur" IS NOT A FUNNY POST. IT IS SPAM, AND IT WORTHY OF A BAN. IT'S NOT PEOPLE HAVING FUN, IT'S PEOPLE BEING DICKS.

Point 2: THERE ARE MATURE PEOPLE ON NEWGROUNDS. IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH OF A BRAIN TO KNOW THAT YOUR POST IS IMMATURE OR UNFUNNY.

That is all.

I believe certain mods are banning more for this kind of behavior. Someone I know quite well from here recently got a ban for telling someone to throw themselves off a cliff. I'm sure he wasn't serious, it qwas to do with a film or something..

But still, yes some mods are banning for this kind of thing, and it is part of the rules anyway I believe. Well, something about not harassing other users.

Also, with a fresh topic, a lot of users rush to get in there first and usually because they want to be quick, their post will reflex that. I wouldn't expect to find useless advice in a thread with someone seeking help until about 5-10 minutes after it's been posted, cause the helpful person needs to focus on what they are putting and it can take a few minutes.

Well, it's kinda to be expected...
I mean, if someone's asking for advice, the first post is usually kinda long since they're explaining their situation...
So the people who actually try to help aren't gonna be the first ones to post, cuz they actually took the time to read it and come up with some decent advice.

No idea, it's just the only time to do it really though. After several replies either the thread is serious and if you do it you're a douche, or someone else has already done it

Simple answer:
Newgrounds isn't for questions.
Thats why Yahoo Answers was created.

You should totally use Goozex and sign up with my Referral Link so that I may get a free trade token so I don't have to pay for them.

But as a general rule its a bad idea. Even I try to give good advice, but it happens sometimes that I just blurt out something retarded.

Huge fucking hole here. When someone asks a serious question, they want a serious answer. Given that they know that it's newgrounds and still asking advice, they also know that there are people who will give a serious reply, so they ask. People like you are the idiots that ruin threads that could get a good reply. You go in there, post a derailing first post and it all goes down until it is locked or deleted. Oh and, some people don't like being dicks to each other.

I sure hope mods are banning more for it, it contributes nothing to the topic at hand and sets what could be a good thread off on a bad foot.

Also, with a fresh topic, a lot of users rush to get in there first and usually because they want to be quick, their post will reflex that. I wouldn't expect to find useless advice in a thread with someone seeking help until about 5-10 minutes after it's been posted, cause the helpful person needs to focus on what they are putting and it can take a few minutes.

This is true. I wish that people didn't clamor into a new topic like you say, and actually put some thought into a reply, and disregard the opporitunity to get first post. It's not the post count that matters, it's the thought (or lack there of) that goes into them.
