Nice work CheeseManBlue but I'd ease up a little on your reviews before somebody hits you with a big stick. I hope you don't mind if I snag a couple of quick whistle points at your expense.

Typing quick is very easy. And i also remember the last time i did 100 reviews in one day it gave me the biggest headache ever. And just recently.. they've added some timer so that nobody can type really fast and post a review and go on to the next flash and make a review really fast... they limited that on us... :(

haha recon thanks for telling us. You are right, there are a few free whistle pts right there. :)

26 november and that's only the third time that I whistle this month. I could browse the abusive reviews topic more often but clicking links is boring, very boring. I'm also lazy.

heh, I have no chance to get a gold whistle. I'm really not motivated. :(

You're welcome Regulus. I thought I'd give the guy a warning before ramagi pulls him over for speeding. She may have spotted him already.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy (that's a line from what movie Regulus?)

I had the gold for about an hour before the system updated and knocked me back to silver. That was good enough for me. As for motivation I just broke 39,000 b/p points. That should inspire me to keep going until I hit 40k.

heh, thanks for the info recon, though I thought youve claimed that you stopped flagging reviews all together.
Or is this just a one time thing...

Or you flag them, not just search for them.. or something, ah well thanks anyways!

It's bogus, it's something like... a 5 minute wait....
I watch the movie, type the review, and that usually is all said and done in less then 5 minutes. a review that is about 7-8 lines in length.

Now it's telling me to add more thought into them... Gee, I think that ive put plenty of thought into my reviews in my opinion, what they are doing now is just preventing me from doing plenty in a day.

Yeah, same with Cyberdevil..

100 reviews in 2 hours... and most of them dont even comment on the movie. "Good idea, like your style, like the sound, good job" *rolls eyes*

I did a few calculations and i found out if i were to do about just 20 reviews per day... that would be good enough for me to hit 10k reviews in one year.

But...
with this five minute rule... 20 times 5 = 100 minutes... It would take over one hour and a half to just complete 20 reviews on newgrounds now... which is a long time for just 20 reviews.

pfff if people would care about the content instead of their reviews stats, that wouldn't never happen. You guys oblige the admins to add new rules :D. Necessary rules.

Oh yeah i forgot about that new rule, well i guess old Kwasy was getting to them ^.^

Kwasy has some special powers that keep himself out of trouble even if he breaks one rule 24-7 BUT you guys probably discussed about that in the past so let's not get into the details and forget about it.

Haha! No Red, this was way back when the whistle system was first introduced. I just happened to check my profile at the right time and saw the gold!! I think the garbage whistle looks cool but I wouldn't want to have it.

I'm still waiting for one of the alternates to hit bronze. It's like once you get the silver whistle you can never lose it.

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.

Yeah, I've been waiting for quite some time now. I've flagged over 100 abusive reviews. Ramagi said Wade hasn't cleared them in a while and he probably won't until later after the holiday and everything. It's already over, so I think he's just being a little lazy. Meh, I think we're all criminals of laziness tho...

I see, lol. I think if you did that for long enough you'd probably end up with the "broken whistle," lol, or even better, the "invisible whistle."

Isn't it true that if you get the garbage whistle then you cannot whistle on something ever again? and is there really such thing as an invisible whistle? I don't think i'd want that garbage whistle... don't care how cool it looks either.

No, it just means that your whistle can't actually mark something for administrative review. The fact that you whistled it is still noted, and if you are correct about the entry, then you will get positive whistle points, and vice versa.

and is there really such thing as an invisible whistle? I don't think i'd want that garbage whistle... don't care how cool it looks either.

Heh, invisible whistle. That would be hilarious! I am right there with you Yoink. I'd never want that crappy Garbage Whistle. It is for lewsurs...lol

Supposedly you can earn whistle points to get yourself out of the whole. I remember reading that it's really hard to do though.

and is there really such thing as an invisible whistle?

Hahaha, no, I was just joking. I made it up :)

I don't think i'd want that garbage whistle... don't care how cool it looks either.

Yeah, I'd never take it either. You'd basically be screwed if you saw something really bad comin into the portal or a really spammy review because Wade would never pay attention to it, being blown by a garbage whistle.

The rank that put me in the top 50. I've liked it since, congrats on the rank-up/vp boost.

Yes, I'd say that the whistle is not that much of a big deal. What use is it anyways? Plus its nearly impossible to even get gold, which leaves open diety. I'm not quite sure, does gfoxcook have the diety or gold? I guess I had better check on that.

I think that Wade should add some more whistle ranks such as platinum, tin, aluminum, just to vary the users alittle more. It may make users want to get better whistles and actually care about them (thinking they actually have a chance at a new rank). It will cut back on all of these abusive reveiws coming in.

Also I hate the fact that people can write horrible/spammy reveiws, on movies that are going to be blammed, and get away with it. Any commentary?

Well, the better your whistle, the more it is worth. It's kinda like voting power. In the portal, an under-judgement flash needs to have 200 votes to pass. Each vote however has a different power, thus some votes will outweigh others. This goes for whistles too. The more your whistle power is, the less amount of people it takes to Mark the flash for Administrative Review.

Plus its nearly impossible to even get gold, which leaves open diety. I'm not quite sure, does gfoxcook have the diety or gold? I guess I had better check on that.

Ramagi has the only Deity whistle right now.

TheJoe324 has the only Gold whistle right now.

It's not a bad idea, but definitely not necessary. The reason the whistle isn't a popular stat is because it shouldn't be. If it was, then everyone would start trying to flag everything, and nothing would get accomplished.

It may make users want to get better whistles and actually care about them (thinking they actually have a chance at a new rank). It will cut back on all of these abusive reveiws coming in.

The system as of right now is working fine. I'm sure people want to see their "whistle status" but that would only lead more people flagging things that might not necessarily be breaking the rules.

Also I hate the fact that people can write horrible/spammy reveiws, on movies that are going to be blammed, and get away with it. Any commentary?

I actually made a topic about that (and I totally agree with you):

http://newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=171582

Basically to sum it up, the reason people can get away with it is because it would be a nightmare for liljim to fix the system at this point. It could be done, but I believe that they have much more important things to do with their time right now.

You're absolutely correct, the whistle isn't a big deal, unless you're always looking through reviews or blamming and protecting. It's a good idea to have at least a bronze whistle then so that you can get Wade's attention to the abusive review/flash. It's nearly impossible to get gold, let alone diety.

Yeah, that'd be a good idea, maybe not more ranks, but the ability to see the whistle status. We have way too much abuse out there in the reviews.

Also I hate the fact that people can write horrible/spammy reveiws, on movies that are going to be blammed, and get away with it. Any commentary?

Actually if you can get a link to the abuse in the obituaries, you can send it to a mod, such as ramagi.

Back to whistle talk im most happy with my silver whistle, I think the current system is working well but maby they should make the gold whisle bit more achivable as i now rarly go out of my way to flag anything, as i know im extreamly unlikely to ever get a gold whistle, maby if it was easyer to get people whould flag more stuff.
