Why is the art portal so serious?

[ElMagnificoBurro]

Don't get me wrong I appreciate art as much as the next guy and have no plans of going over there and being a cunt (No more so than usual anyway) but I feel like it's a tad to uptight.
I mean just read the threatening message below the post a comment section:

Remember, you're submitting a REVIEW for this CONTENT. This isn't a place for you to make smug jokes, post stupid nonsense, or act like a total jerk.

If you're voting LOW, offer constructive criticism to help the artist get better. Voting HIGH? Don't just say "Loved it!" – we can see your stars! Tell us what you loved and why! Tons of people read these, not just the artist.

If your review is plain mean, offensive, or generally unhelpful, you could be banned and your account may be deleted.If you use this spot to promote unrelated websites to garner traffic, feed ads, etc. your account WILL BE DELETED.

Im not saying the whole website should be immature filth but this is newgrounds. It just feels a bit like mood whiplash is all.

That message appears in all portals.

... do you have the little checkbox appearing, saying that you agree to review guidelines? Since it doesn't look like you have written any reviews on this account, yet.

It's not a comment section, it's a review section - as is stated in the guidelines.

Your account will not get deleted if you leave a bad review. You will be review banned though.

And to clarify, by bad review I mean something is hateful simply for the sake of being hateful. If you want to leave a review and be critical, that is perfectly acceptable, but make sure it is constructive so that the artist can improve.

I just get the 'Remember, you're submitting a REVIEW for this CONTENT. This isn't a place for you to make smug jokes, post stupid nonsense, or act like a total jerk.', so I guess the rest are terms you agree to before you start writing reviews? Sounds like logical points, though maybe not said in a very light-hearted manner.

Just realized theres a (Reviews are permanent! Double-check if necessary.) note too, useful, never noticed that before...
