Because then less people one would want to whistle. Unlike B/P points whistle points are kept secret. Most people stopped flagging after silver because not only did they not know how much they need to get gold and deity but also the person on top could make it even harder for everyone else by raising the bar and weaking everyone else's whistle power. (Like pimp does with the EXP)

If it was made harder to get the top whistles then some people would not only stop flagging after a certain point but also begin to bitch about "The whistle bar is too high make it easier" and shit like that.

I have to ask you a question though would you be happier if everyone had to go through the same thing I did to get the top whistle since It took me a little more then a year to get my deity?

That's true. What I meant was just that it seems to me that every single post of yours revolves around "why did they have to change the whistle system so everyone can get gold and deity now". Maybe I'm wrong, of course, but that's what it feels like, and it does bug me a lot.

The new whistle system is here, and pretty much everyone thinks it's better than the old one, so it's time to move on. Besides, your deity whistle doesn't get devalued because others get one, too, anyway.

And for the record, the old system WAS broken. The point of having whistle levels is to encourage people to flag abusive reviews and flashes that break the rules, but when it's outright impossible to increase your whistle level beyond silver, noone will continue to whistle after reaching that.

It seems like that but that isn't the case. Most of the time people are still complaining about it is still hard to get gold and deity when the Scale is now fixed. That is what truely bugs me. I mean what more do you want? Do you want the NG staff to just give you higher whistles for doing nothing?

The new whistle system is here, and pretty much everyone thinks it's better than the old one, so it's time to move on. Besides, your deity whistle doesn't get devalued because others get one, too, anyway.

Like I said from the start I have no problems with the new system It could just be me reading into whiny users who still think it is too hard to get to the top level when in fact it is quite the opposite now. Also if the old system would have remained in play evenually even me my flagging would have done nothing since I wouldn't be able to gain anymore whistle power but still kill others whistle power in the process since the top user at the time could crush everyone's whistle power and well as set as raise the bar for gold Like pimp does with EXP.

And for the record, the old system WAS broken. The point of having whistle levels is to encourage people to flag abusive reviews and flashes that break the rules, but when it's outright impossible to increase your whistle level beyond silver, noone will continue to whistle after reaching that.

I will give you that. In the way of easy ranks ups after silver yes the old system was messed up. I can't say people didn't try to get past silver either since I read the BBS in the past and I did see a lot of people talking about "I have been flagging for a year and still I didn't get past silver"

But your last statement of it being impossible to increase your level after silver you couldn't be more wrong with that. Diffucult yes Impossible no. I was able to get past silver by the old system as well as Tantera. But then again when I was flagging abusive review I was flagging at a "Insane" speed and not everyone can do that. Thanks for bring up these points I will try to take some things less seriously because I read my own posts and think " I sound like a 50 year old unhappy house wife" when in fact I am not.

Gold was impossible for all practical purposes - the fact that only a handful managed to get it out of more than a million users is testament to that. Deity was outright impossible, just like level 30 is impossible to attain as well.

Ah well. Fortunately, those days are over. :)

"insane" speed? so you just glanced at reviews that you thought were abusive?
I don't think that's such a great idea all the time... some reviews might have actually been okay.

Ok don't insult me like that I didn't go around blindly flagging abusive reviews. People call me a nerd for this but at the time I memorized every rule of the review guildlines. So I knew when a review was abusive and I still do know when one is abusive though I do need to lighten up in some cases.Some reviews tend to stick out like sore thumbs when they are abusive. I would see a lot of copy and paste reviews, reviews that would have Insults toward the author such as "you suck", "Kill yourself" or in some cases the infamous middle finger. Some of those reviews by today new rules may have been ok but when I was flagging sometime back all those reviews where considered abusive.

Also don't forget back then several things were different as well. Like all caps reviews for example. Back in the day before the system change any and all caps locks reviews were considered abusive even though there wasn't a written rule for it since it was considered yelling at the author regardless if it was positive or not.

Also the only reason I used the word insane to describe my flagging speed was because I would flag at least more abusive reviews then anyone else would have at the time sometimes I would hit the thousands when it can to flagging abusive reviews. this speed came around when the gayest showdown made the front page and fanboys who liked the ulitamate showdown didn't like that it was there or just plain hated it period.

I don't mind being called whiny but don't accuse me of flagging blindly if that was the case I wouldn't have started flagging in the first place!
