Could be useful, though it can somewhat affect creators who do both sfw and NSFW materials. For example, Diives draw amazing art and animations dedicated to his country culture. Would be a waste if someone misses them just because of A-rating turned off. So I don't like the idea of NSFW artists having x rating on everything they post. Overall, maybe it's more simple to just expand A-rating criteria?

for the number of times, this kind of thing happens, this is an unnecessary complication to the rating system and its implication would bring more counterproductive paperwork or leg work to deal with appropriately.
these people are crybabies and or may be poking fun at the Terms Of Use that newgrounds has

You affirm that you are over the age of 13, as the Newgrounds Website is not intended for children under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please leave Newgrounds immediately - there are lots of other, more pleasant web sites out there that won't horrify your delicate parents. Talk to your parents about what sites those might be.

let this one go bud

@Anonymous-Frog pretty sure that if the kid wants to view the stuff, newgrounds is not the hideout that they are going to visit.
I don't encourage individuals from watching content that shouldn't be rated for them, but let's take a count of the problem that you are trying to face
A. the 15 year old clicks on the A for adult filter and gets bombed with nudity and they can go on a shopping spree with their eyeballs
B. the 15 year old clicks on the Ax filter and gets bombed with nudity and they can go on a shopping spree with their eyeballs

how does this rating system prevent either of these situations in the more extreme version of this example?

@Anonymous-Frog you aren't really selling me on the X rating system at this point bud, I know the challenge that a system would create, and it's just as easily exploitable as the current system

I remember how I would get this response from my manager when I would try to bring up improvements to one of my old jobs.

we will see if there is room in the budget next quarter for this opportunity

This is the most stupidest idea ever.
It's basically just "Look, let's punish NSFW artists by making a system that they cannot win awards what-so-ever!"
I don't see why we need to dumb down the system just because some slap-shot idiot doesn't know how to filter out content based on ratings. Sure, boobs = wins daily awards sucks, but it shouldn't actively punish artists that would want to draw boobs. In fact, how would it be fair to ban NSFW creators from getting awards at all? Why can't we just make submissions that has some nudity weigh way less than submissions that do not have nudity (Because ALL Rated A submissions require the Lots of Nudity rating.)? Why do we need an extra rating that is an automatic checks "Opt out of any awards" for non-rated A submissions? And no, "under 18s" aren't going to stumble upon the more graphic content, which assuming by the description, it would be referring to Rated A submissions, because Newgrounds does it FOR YOU. I don't see why in the vivid hell should the X-rating exist if fetish submissions are automatically signed with either an Rated M (Mainly likely for the other portals, as they explicitly do not have this guideline.) or A (Only in the Movie guidelines.). It's like as if the Block User function, which allows you to block their content as well, doesn't exist. Don't like this NSFW artist? Block 'em. I don't see why we should allow a redundant system like this that actively favors SFW artists more and not level out the playing field so that "P-Bot horny" appears LESS.

I am not sure if this is a good idea. I kinda support it because I like BlueTheBone’s SFW art. But I dont like it as much because its kinda punishing.

Plus if the hypothetical Diives really cared, he would take the same route as Derpixon and create an alt account.
