Hello, Private Dovod. Thank you for your interest in joining the barracks. I see that RO General @Perigrinus has responded to you, and some members have already given you feedback regarding your whistle. I have reviewed your account history, and other than polishing up that whistle, you're in pretty good shape.

I also know that improving your whistle can be tricky, especially if you are not sure how to make it work. But with the help of the fine folks here, I am certain it will improve shortly.

That being said, let's see you get to a bronze whistle by working through the abusive reviews and figuring out proper flagging techniques. I think that shouldn't take very long, as our crew are experts in such details. Work with them, and before you know it, it will be bronze - then silver, etc. When you reach bronze, we will confirm your application.

So, get out there soldier, and show us what you've got!

*Salutes*

EGSC byteslinger,
Chief Barracks Officer.

Thanks a lot, officer, although I'm not too sure what you mean by flagging the "Abusive reviews", as I've been working on my whistle mainly by flagging content in the audio and art section, primarly the audio one.

Flagging content in the audio and art sections is a great way to get your whistle upgraded; I understand you are doing a fine job - keep up the good work. As for the abusive reviews - people who review a movie or game need to be civil about it, and not violate the rules of writing a review. You can go to any submission and look through all of the reviews, and if any of them are spam, nasty, derogatory or rule breaking, you can flag them for review.

Wade's original post is here: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/93758#bbspost1486722_post_text

If you are in doubt about a review (not sure if it's bad or not) then don't flag it. You will lose whistle status if you flag a review that shouldn't have been flagged. Fortunately, there are many that are obviously bad, so as long as you're careful, you'll get deity in no time!

Waynecolt tags all his posts with an ~x~, and I've seen some other styles. Whatever makes them happy, it does set it apart.

Not exactly 'internal' when posted in public, yo. ;) Still, although the user is new and has some growing to do, this is the place for it. I give thumbs up.

You find them here and there, and anywhere. There's no real place that has more than any other, really. Sometimes, submissions with crappy scores might have a bit more in the way of crappy reviews, but not necessarily. Flaggin the movies and games we discuss here count, and the Art Portal is also a good place. For some reason, people seem to not figure out what constitutes Adult (A rated) content, so hanging out there is also a good place.

Quick tips:

(a blowjob is still a blowjob whether you can see it all or not, y'know?)

As you flag things, you'll start to get a feel for things. No, not that. Put that away! Geez.

The whistle rank reflects your ability to figure out and properly rate content on the site. Audio has a fair share of stolens, and reviews can be abusive, but those aren't the only areas. Ant time you flag an item anywhere, that goes toward you're total count. (And, no, no one know what your 'count' is.) You'll get there eventually, and only a major screw up will drop your rank in most cases. If you just leveled up by a hair and you get a punishable report, that might drop you back til the next flag gets dealt with- not a big deal. If it pops right back up, you're fine. If it doesn't right away, you messed up somewhere.

That submission no longer exists in our system. :3 Honestly, pay attention to the boobs. A lot of times, if they'd drawn more boob, the submission would be deemed ok. I booted that one, tho. Looked underage, sooooo gone!

Pretty nsfw for a E rated post. I made a report already but wanted to see if you guys agree with this
( I mean unless this is an alternate universe and skimpy Nicole is very e rated xp )

I reported it as well just to throw another flag in the mix. It should be rated Mature.

Here (nsfw) is an example of one that although there's no genitals and barely any real nudity, it still requires an A rating. I've already adjusted the rating up.

Number 1 looks definitely too young, but the rest I'm not touching as I'm really on the fence about them.

I'm not sure about these ones: one two three four five six seven

Again, the first couple I flagged, the rest I would say are very borderline.

Six or six and a half heads could be a teenager or a small adult, but 5 heads is toddler height (unless the body has midget structure, or it's a shibby caricature).

I feel like the measurement of "heads" is a little arbitrary considering we're talking about digitally drawn cartoon characters. It's a good place to start, but it can't be used in ALL instances as the characters are sometimes drawn in a much different way to normal.

Breast size is usually small in Russia, Asia, Latin and Central America, and Africa. Also in countries like France and Italy. Source. I'm used to smaller breasts, many adult women I know have practically no breasts. Proportions can indicate that it's a child, although there are tall children as well, and it's hard to see the proportions if the person is not standing. But less than 6 heads and no breasts is almost 100% certainty that it's a child, in my opinion.

I can agree with you here, but objectively it's difficult to assume because they are digitally drawn characters. I feel as if other things also need to be taken into account at the same time. The term "Loli" is definitely a red flag, alongside the type of character they are trying to draw. In the case of the Cardcaptor drawing you linked above, it should be taken into account that Sakura Kinomoto, the girl who is the Cardcaptor, is actually 10 years old as of the Cardcaptor Wikipedia page.

"Ten-year-old Sakura Kinomoto accidentally releases a set of magical cards known as Clow Cards"

In this case, I would argue, it should be flagged as Child Porn.

Edit: Further reading shows that even by the end of the CardCaptor anime, Sakura is no older than 14 years old, therefore I would argue that any NSFW drawing of her, adhering to Rule 34 of the internet, should be taken as Child Porn.

"Sakura Kinomoto is introduced as a nine-year-old girl who lives in the town of Tomoeda in Japan, where she attends Tomoeda Elementary School. During the Clow Card Arc and Sakura Card Arc storyline, she canonically ages to be twelve years at series end, in both the anime and manga versions.[8] In Clear Card Arc storyline, she canonically ages to be forteen years while attending Tomoeda Junior High School."
