The last couple of months Newgrounds has had an ever growing problem of Chainletters. These Chainletters are showing up in almost all submitions on newgrounds at the moment and they are hurting newgrounds in almost every way possible, take for example my good friend Mindchambers game "Red baron"

The latest 5 reviews or so, are nothing but annoying messages telling you that "you will die if you don't spam the rest of newgrounds with this" now for some reason, some idiot came up with the brilliant solution of writing even MORE Chainletters saying
"STOP CHAINLETTERS ON NEWGROUNDS! Report chainletter reviews and post this letter on 10 submitions to stop Chainletters or you WILL die!"
Okay, i really think you guys get my point about this, by now.
"But how is this hurting Newgrounds?"
You might ask. Well, for once the people who post submitions are actually not interrested in being told they are going to die once a day, but they ARE, on the other hand interrested in reading what people have to say about their work. So how annoying do you think it is to have to read thought pages of Spam, just to do that?
Apart from that it is taking up server space. Fortunatley not a whole lot, but the number of Chainletters grows every day and it makes no sense to post this kind of crap, other than to annoy.
And if you, for some reason happen to be a stupid little kiddo who believes in these kind of Chainletters let me assure you, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DIE! since i was a little kid, only 5-6 years old, i have read TONS of these letters and never forwarded a single one, i must admit when i was younger they could give me the creeps sometimes, but that was only because it was sent my actual SnailMail, wich means the person sending them actually had my adress, but even THOSE letters are just sent by people who are for some reason affraid, or have nothing better to do, i can assure you noone is spying on you, checking if you posted your 10 spamChainletters, and noone is going to kill you for not spamming newgrounds, also magic does not exist (neather does the easterbunny or santa, sorry kiddos) so unless you go and hang yourself, (wich i will recommend you to do if you're over 13 and still spamming NG with Chainletters) you have nothing to worry about.
On the other hand, if you DON'T stop sending those pesky things, i will personally make sure you die a horrible !!burninated!! death

I'm not killing newgrounds.
I can't do anything to stop others from hurting it though :'(.
