Did you know that you can be temporaraly banned from signing into newgrounds? Well, guess who found out. Yeah I did. I recently changed my password for newgrounds and whenever I would re-sign in today, I would always accidentally put my old pass in. Well I did that again tonight and when I put the correct pass, I got a page that said, "you have entered the wrong password 5 times today, please wait until tomorrow to sign in" I know and understand why they have this on newgrounds, but...well, I wanted to do something there.  All well, I could always wait until midnight. (stares at clock) |

So I guess you're banned until midnight? Anyways it's smart that they do that so that people don't hack other peoples accounts but I think they should like do a thing if you type the wrong password 5 times you have to answer a question that you answered earlier. Like What was your first pet? or something like that. They have that for a lot of other stuff and it works.

No, that's not being banned. What that is, is to protect your account. So if someone is trying to hack into your account or guess your password it temporarily locks down your account for saftey purpouses.
Odds are you aren't in any trouble. I would check that account again in a couple of hours and see if it works then.

But yeah, now I can sign in and everything so its all good. |

The only times i have trouble signing in is when i go to sign into Newgrounds and it just gives me the sign in option again, and then it turns out i need to download the latest flash plug in or something. Frusterating but it does work eventually.
