Behavior in General
The Newgrounds community is really special and we want chat to be a welcoming and fun place to hang out for anyone who wants to be here.We discuss a wide range of topics, but if things start to get heated please consider taking it to private channels (within reason, nothing illegal, etc.). Or, let off some steam with a cool fighting game.
If you cannot get along with somebody do yourself and everyone else a favor by blocking them (Type "/block/add and the user's @" in the text input for chat or through the site blocking features)
Final Thoughts
Chat is now a Supporter perk. You can continue to visit chat even after your Supporter has expired. There will be NO refunds if you get banned.We usually give fair warning when anyone is crossing the line, but we're not going to go out of our way to issue warning after warning or ban after ban.
If you have any concerns about behavior in chat, need help or want to make suggestions you can PM our chat moderator: Malachy
