I got banned from review writing (as some of you may know) but I'm still not fully sure why

I've seen people say "go suck satans balls" and they didn't get banned

"BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG" does not constitute a valid review. Neither does saying a movie is crap and not a lot else.

Could you post some examples of your reviews so we can judge weither or not you deserved to be banned?

Exactly how would we know that. Maybe you should have not written abusive and useless reviews and then this would have never happened.

Most of your reviews are just saying "crap", basically. If you're going to review, make it constructive criticism to help the author improve. Make a suggestion.
I would have banned you, with the reviews you have.
"BOOOOOORING". Your reviews are crap.

Because you touch...err...
You must have been flagged excessively. Did you advertise an outside website or leave un-constructive, abusive critisism?

Maybe no-one reported to the Abusive Review topic in the Wi/Ht forum yet or any other Abusive Review report topic. :P You should've read the FAQ before reviewing and maybe you know why you got banned or even better, not getting banned in the first place. :P

you got banned for writing reviews that were either viewed as offensive or spam.
i am sure those who write other bad reviews get banned also, if they didnt it means no one has looked at their reviews.

Someone speculating is helping, and two review mods telling you exactly why you were banned aren't. Right...

It's funny how you abuse the right to review and then miss it so much when it's taken away. Take this time to look at other reviews and compare them with your own. It takes most flash publishers a good amount of time to make the flash for you to view. Give them a good honest review.

HTML has nothing to do with it...
You just wrote some stupid fucking reviews, live with it, think about what you write, if and when get unbanned, live with it.

A bad negative review usually consists of "You suck!"

A good negative review consists of something like "You suck!" along with a criticism of why that flash sucks.

Perhaps assistance is more readily accepted when its not presented in the form of a personal attack. Then again I'm only speculating, as I have a tendancy to do...

Shut up. Complain about a ban and chances are you'll get banned again. Just shut up.

If you don't know what constitutes an abusive review, look here-http://newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=74264&page=87

It's good thread with some good examples of people who write abusive reviews, and you can work on your whistle. Or, you could go right here-http://newgrounds.com/lit/portal_faq.html#review

It's an FAQ on reviewing flash.

You probably deserved it, reviews with swearing or that consist of caps most of the way through normally do get banned. You may not think saying something like “Your flash sucks I hope you die” is serious because you mean it in a joke (I mean who really would wish that upon another human?) but it can really hurt and offend the artist.
You wouldn’t be banned for reviewing for no reason, just because it’s reviewing don’t think it doesn’t matter if you break the rules – you can still get banned.
Oh and coming on here and complaining about it will just make it worse, the best thing to do is to keep quiet, accept you deserved it, and hope that you’ll be unbanned if you deserve it enough.

Hust inquiring

Please don’t use that as a complaint. I’m sick of seeing people who got banned and deserved it saying something like “But so-and-so said this and HE didn’t get banned!”. Maybe the mods didn’t see those abusive reviews that you saw, you broke the rules, and you were one of the unlucky ones that got caught. Accept it.

You know what. I'm getting fucking tired of the he said/she said. But soso did this and soso said that. Live with it. Tough up. And act like a man, not a pussy.

jonthompson's first post was hardly a personal attack. Ted's wasn't really that harsh either. But I think you're right. Since this is just a message board, and the "personal attacks" were so slight, I think we can just assume el topic starter it just a whiny little kid. That, coupled with his reviews, urges me to urge you all to just forget the crybaby and move on. ^_^

Yeah. It's a statement of fact. If it was, I'd have called him a daft fucking cunt or something like that. Anyway, he knows why he's banned now, so lock.
