Sounds accurate to me. It's gone now.

What about these two? I'm sure you've seen, but the first one is a non-working alpha. Second one is the same buggy game with a menu applied, essentially.

I got rid of the first one, since the second one actually kind of works and is just a straight upgrade of the first with the menu, an actual description and such.

Here's some abusive reviews for you pal.

Seems like it.
Also just a thing,it seems the latest movies always have abusive reviews so keep an eye out for that.

Voted appropriately. There's been a rash of these lately. Swear they're trying to catch us slipping.

@Exedor and @Asandir, I wanted to commend you. You keep this place clean and you keep your humor. You have no idea how thankful I am to have competent mods around. Nine years ago, stolen/malicious crap had about a 50% chance of getting through, but with you two on the job, not a snowball's chance in hell. And @gamejunkie and @DeftonesFan665, you do a great job of helping too.

Now, just gotta get that silver whistle.

Mods, is it safe to say batches of abusive flash reviews can be reported here? There isn't really another place to do so now that Rage's thread is locked.

Hey, you do a good job of helping out as well, so give yourself a pat on the back.

I'm not a mod, but I don't think it would be something to do. Rage's thread was locked for a reason.

Nah, just another incompetent oldie popping in from time to time. I'll get there, though. I just wanted to say how thankful I am that this place is the way it is now. There was a time when we worried about mods coming down on us for our policies, or worried about it basically being a gentleman's club where we waved our badges around in dick-measuring competitions, but seeing it now is almost enough to bring tears to my eyes. I couldn't be more proud.

It was, but that was because mass amounts of people were abusing it for whistle points, not because they were actually all that concerned with keeping NG clean.

Asandirbot! They believe us to be human and have humor. We have successfully infiltrated the human barracks!

Agreed! :)

No thread is necessary. Art and reviews can still be reported by clicking a button:
- Art: you click the flag symbol above the image.
- Reviews, you click the 'Abusive' button underneath the review: [ + ] [ - ] [ ! ] <--- That one.
- Audio: Report it in the Audio Portal Clean Up thread: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1375322/1
- Flash & Games: report them here (obviously). :)

If you find one abusive review, go to their account and check the other reviews. Often, they'll have others that are abusive, too.

It looks like things have changed for the better then and I'm glad for that.

You don't know that for sure, though. It could be either one, or perhaps both scenarios for someone. Either way, if we let people post links to abusive reviews here, we would have people coming in who don't give a shit about what we do and only want free whistle points. It never was a good idea and it never will be. If users want a better whistle they need to actually earn it, not get spoon fed whistle points.

Thanks EDM, you do a fine job yourself.
Now, first things second. You send a PM with a link to the abusive reviews to everyone you know that wants to up their Whistle status. Got to give some of the good guys a chance to get their whistle stats up. Then the following day PM BrenTheMan and give him the link and he'll most likely mass delete them like he did with those 2 previous guys reported here.

You do what he said. You just don't admit it.

Actually, You all flag them all via the [ ! ] buttoon and we review mods remove them. No PM's necessary. I removed over 100 today. I've banned 5 people in the last day or so because ...

Because they left reviews like this guy: http://johnnyfivepunch.newgrounds.com/reviews/movie

I will remove these reviews and ban this guy *ahem* tomorrow morning. Since, I have a headache and need to crash into bed. (Seriously)

@Exedor @gamejunkie @deftonesfan665, not quoting because that would be a needlessly long post and I just finished wrapping Christmas presents, typing with one hand. Thank you very much for the kind words and advice.

Exedor, I was already aware of the '!' button, but the extra clarification brought a smile to my face. Show's you're patient -- definitely the right guy for the job here. I know I ask a lot of questions. I was simply inquiring as I wasn't exactly sure how the whistle system worked, i.e. how many flags it took for an abusive review to appear in your queue. A few years back, I think it took more than one because a lot of people reported flagging reviews like "gay" and going from normal to garbage after a few days. They may have been exaggerating.

I'm hoping I'm able to stick around the Barracks long enough to help make a difference. School can get in the way of the time I have for NG and sadly often does. This site has been dear to me long since before I signed up. I'm always happy to do what I can to help keep it clean.

Thanks for the tips! I'm off to check the UJ for a bit and relax.

Hey, we all have priorities that come first, so you're not alone. We all can't be on NG all of the time. In the end, what matters is that you do your best when you can.

The mods never remove his games anymore, so I say save yourself some time and don't report his games anymore. I certainly stopped doing it.

I appreciate it. It's good to be back -- and know the place still smells like home. If I'm honest, here and the NGPD is where I spent most of my time. Most of my friends were made here. Speaking of, I've been trying to get in touch with some old vets. wonder if they still know their passwords, hahah.

*nod* I'm not even sure if we'd want to be on NG full-time. When I was younger and had no responsibilities, sometimes I'd spend so much time absorbed in this sweet oasis that I'd realize I hadn't spoken in weeks. Granted, that was a darker time in my life, and NG was the best refuge I had without resorting to complete solitude. Things have improved tremendously since, and I'm thankful to be able to get out into the world, but I'll always come back as long as the site is up. The portal, the people, and the memories -- this place is part of what made me who I am.

The NGPD is basically dead, sadly, so probably not.

That's how I used to be when I was younger, except it was the good ol' days of YouTube. That was when the channels were really cool and the site was really social. It was maybe even kind of like a social media site with the old channels. But eventually most of my old friends disappeared. Nowadays, I do have a few of their phone numbers and I text them sometimes, but I miss the good ol' days there.

The portal, the people, and the memories -- this place is part of what made me who I am.

I haven't even had this account for three years yet, but I feel the same as you. I mean, before this account I've known about NG since I was about 10 or 11, so I've had my favorite things in the portal. But since I've made my account, I've met some great people over the two and a half years I've had it.

hello again guys, i found another user that post abusive reviews, i already press the [!] button on everthing that i found abusive according to the rules.

should i post the user review link here? or just wait for the mod to clean it up?

@Exedor or anyone else will probably beat me to this if they're still awake -- I myself just woke up because I fell asleep with PortalGuard on and "Hot stuff comin' up" blared. We don't want this thread to be locked like Rage's Abusive Review Thread, so no. PM anyone else you know is in the market for improving their whistles, and if you're extra antsy, pm a mod. Usually flagging and notifying other users is sufficient from what I gather.

Wait for a mod to get to it. This isn't a abusive review club and it never will be. Thank you for asking beforehand.
