I'm bookmarking this thread, because I know, no matter how stupid I feel at ANY given moment, this guy is a bigger idiot then me. Seriously, how does stuff like that happens? 4 generations of family inbreeding IMO.

I have figured out how the moderators pick and choose audio submissions from an inside source...
Yes, a very ominous figure indeed gave you that information. The FAQ! ZOMG NOES!
The moderators rate subbmissions based on there user rank and current user level, so if your rank is very low, then there is a very good chance your submission will be temporarly banned.
You have no IDEA how much people remain in level 1, just because they think that the lollipop icon is the win. Also, there are no temporarly bans in the Audio Portal. If you try to smartass your way around the rules the first time, you're banned for life.
This is done to regulate how many good songs are allowed on NG's. please note that "good" songs are only rated based on the moderators decission, not other NG's user's votes.
There are 6 buttons, underneath the info box. See them? Really? Great! They give NG users the ability to Vote. If your score is high, people will listen to your stuff. Mods can't give you listens. They can't fake reviews. That's what music in here is about - feedback for improvement and getting listens.
So their slogan, "Everything by Everyone" is actually incorrect, The correct slogan is actually,
"Everything by Moderation", since everything you submit hasto pass thru the moderators before it even gets posted.
Because if we didn't, 99% of the Audio Portal songs would be spam. And commercials. Is that what you want? It's not like they block who they don't like. Garbage gets through all the time. It's if it's illegal. And NewGrounds is their playground(s). They make the rules in here. Don't like it? Fuck off to another website.
however my sources idicate
Haha! What a tool.
that some of the moderators may be corrupte, in the sense that they will form alliences with only the most powerful of NG users, and allow them too post just about anything they want to.
By powerful, you mean high-level and well-known, right? Yeah, it's really outrageous for mods to trust users who have been here a while, who uploaded legal things to the website, and are a part of a community.
This is very unfortunite fore any new user that just happens too stumble into the wrong position, however if you are banned from submitting, you could always join a group account,
No you can't. THEY DON'T EXIST!
but theise are mostly controlled by those "high in power" NG users so if you piss them off you can kiss your membership goodbye.
Or... You can try to NOT break the rules. A-hole. Yes, you can piss them off. But they can't ban you, unless they are mods. If you piss off a mod, he still can't ban you until you break the rules.
Newgrounds is no different than any other free networking site in that NG's picks and chooses what content, and who uses, the website.
If you're looking for a website that doesn't screen ANYTHING you upload into it, you're looking for an upload website. Not a community website. Do you think people would surf in tons of spam, commercials and porn in order to find a song? NO. We do music here, mate. It's a community. Without rules, moderation, and screening, we would burst from the amounts of crap people like YOU would upload.
