"WE DO NOT CREATE, PUBLISH, OR INFLUENCE THE CONTENT OF ANY ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE." True, except the part about influence. I have no evidence, but I'm sure you know that producers, directors, and people of many other professions are influenced by your rating, as they are conserned that your rating can determine if people view their movie, game, or other product. What do you newground go-ers think?

Of course it influences content because a bigger market has a greater potential for greater profits(which is all companies care about), so if you are a software or film maker the best way to do that is to have a low rating so parents will let their kids buy it .

Tom you should use these children Teenagers then Adult these sounds alot better.

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 19:53:19


god dam the esrb! i dont think you should change the rating system, just leave it the way it is...... that will teach those retards in the esrb.

im never going to listen to the esrb again, they are such jerks.

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 19:56:49


go ahead with the first of the suggested ,,GU, TU, AU, MU. they are sissy bears that have feet up their A$$E$. the change wont be so big for the site so go ahead. i want to see them reply to your new ratings system. also if you can... please post the compliance email that you send them as you did with their email. best of luck and keep up the good work with the site. (-*-)

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 19:58:30


what a very awesome idea. i'd really like to see this. (-*-)

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 20:02:41


my earlier post was a response toa post by, "deadlock32" the 4 different colorred people works really well. kudos for that idea. i really like it. i second the thought to actually consider it.

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 20:27:21


First, i'd like to note that O- Old Skool is invented by Randy Solemn of VGDC.com. i'm pretty sure you don't want HIS eternal wrath on your rear.

The ideas previously posted are interesting. However, you need something original, something that pertains to Newgrounds - possibly the trademark Tank. Each driver in the Icon could hold up a letter. Or, better yet, color-code the tanks and have a little scene for each four ratings. For Everyone, you could have a few green figures sit atop the tank and play board games or something. For Teen, you could have someone yellow trying to drive the tank with their body shoved down the hole in the top and their legs flailing outside. Mature could have a red tank with a guy sticking his head down the barrel of the tank, and for Adult, you might just put a big smoldering crater as the icon. As for the names, maybe they should pertain to sanity statuses? From all the crazy stuff on Newgrounds, a rating could go:
Sane
Unstable
Manic
Psychopath

Umm... yea. I don't know what it is about me but people don't listen to me anyway, so... right. Go flame my post on a campfire.

Quit being a jackass and just change the freaking ratings

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 20:36:40


i finally finished doing a sample of what a small icon from my original idea would look like. it would also include the other two warning types in my previous posts. Please give more feedback so i can improve the idea!

Seeing as how the most offensive content is best try..
SB = Sucks balls
SB = Sucks balls
SB = Sucks balls
SB = Sucks balls
FGM = For Grownassed Manz

Watch that movie, play that game and pay no attention to the ratings thats what i say

(damn i made a slogan)

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 21:09:14


Hey, another submission to Newgrounds "Legal Archive".

As for the new rating system I prefer the first set, although two is both amusing and insulting to people, but #1 definitely. It's practical and can be taken seriously by new users or browsers to the site.

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 21:18:09


well since the esrb has their panties in a huge bunch i guess i would change it to kid user teen user mature user and adult user

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 21:20:29


how bout instead of putting E just write out everyone etc. this those fuckers can't sue because u can't own a word if its spelled normally or just put an ideal type of user ie 17+ 13+ even though esrb does put these ages on their boxes their numbers so they can't own them

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 21:29:29

MO=mature only
GO=grown up's only

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 21:34:11


While I don't normally post anything on these, I think Joey's Icons are very good. I'd suggest those are used, or the idea of a thermometer was suggested earlier, the higher the red, the "worse" the video. Good luck guys.

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 21:40:12


how about the system be according to not just the content of the film but how about the integrity of the film as well.

Response to ESRB Headache 2004-07-08 21:53:52


uhoh, they copyrighted alphabet letters!!

Technically that belongs to the Romans, eg Roman Numerals used some of those letters (i forget which?)
