A lot of people say it should be banned

From what I know, Newgrounds has essentially zero moderation, thus there is a LOT of inappropriate stuff.

Even if there was moderation, there is still a lot of inappropriate stuff. And it's very easy to access these inappropriate things.

I mean, I like the game I play, but following the community guidelines should be prioritized.

I do use Newgrounds often, and there is explicit content on there. Newgrounds is not made for children, so I support.

Just because it isn't blacklisted doesn't mean it is allowed, blacklists are only really used for very frequently referenced sites, and I have hardly seen it (directly) linked.

I am 99.9% sure it isn't allowed.

Every time I use Newgrounds, I use for Geometry Dash custom songs. But for the rest of the site, it's practically unmoderated, just like everyone else said. Pretty easy to tell that there is music, games, and possibly images that aren't even moderated at all, and even with their age ratings on most things on the site, kids don't know what they get themselves into. I do agree with this, although there is one thing I want to point out.

Isn't it already not allowed, just like social media sites? If you see someone linking something unmoderated, just report the post and the Scratch Team can handle it. Pretty sure (unsure) they do review the links first before actually removing the link.

I said practically unmoderated, so there could be moderators checking stuff right now, but on rare occasions. I know too, even the music is unmoderated (except copyright songs)

Does the site have the potental to create anything good? The ST have stated in the past that they will not ban links to partially creative/good sites unless links to inappropriate content are abused.
