Is there a specified amount of whistle point requirements for whistle ranks? If I remember correctly, getting the bronze whistle is after flagging 10 times successfully, and you get deity by flagging 200 times successfully. Is this information true?

I don't think that information has been publicly confirmed. The whistle system has had a few overhauls since it was introduced. It used to be that there was a single person with a deity rank, and around two with gold, where the number of whistle points required to rank up/down would scale with the deity holder. The exact numbers were never shown publicly, though, and it's really difficult to track successful flags.

That system was depreciated for a static ranking system, where the number of flags required are still not publicly available.

if it was available knowledge, I would totally vote for a recording of Mr T calling me a foo for incorrectly flagging ___ materials

maybe Merry Poppins gently patting a tankman's head animation for the user correctly flagging ____ materials

Sure. Just be sure you leave a comment, rather than leaving it blank.

Nope. It takes many flags to change ranks, and as I understand it, the higher rank you get, the more are required to get to the next rank. If it's 10 to get to Bronze, it's not another 10 to get to Silver, Gold, etc. It's more likely 20 more to get to Silver and 30 more for Gold, or whatever the actual numbers are. Numbers are not available or public, so anyone that says ### to get to [Rank] is guessing.

@Guthrie is pretty much correct on what he posted. :)

Not certain, but I consider it as reuploading a blammed content.

This is a clip stolen from a music video, then a flashing image of Jeff the Killer shows up.

This is a YouTube short clip, with no original animation.

He just doesn't know when to quit

The second one, though being a meme about working, it's just a CapCut edit, and I doubt if CC is allowed on NG.

I checked the submission and it does violate the Movie Guidelines since if it's mainly a CapCut edit with no actual animation, then it could be just categorized as a slideshow animation, since the "movement" is just mainly transition effects. Though you could report it as a stolen upload from a YouTube video because the uploader doesn't share the same name as the one who made it. The watermark is very faint, but what I can make it out of is "YT: @berserk_" and that isn't the same name as the one who uploaded the video in here. If they were the same, then how come the account doesn't link back to them?

the rules that it violates are

thought its easiest to just report (no animation) and move on from there

Ought I flag gameplay footages for 'spam'?

As Guthrie and Exedor said to me a long time ago, when it doubt, mark it as spam and write a good description of what you are flagging the item for and the rule that you are flagging under

Your submission must not be a modified version of someone else's work

The reason that I put a "." at the beginning of the links in my previous posts was because there was a bug; which made it so it didn't show the embedded version. But it is fixed now.

Are moderators the people to give out whistle points?

Sorta.

How it works is that to gain, or lose, whistle points, you have to flag the right submissions. Gain more by reporting submissions correctly, and do it wrong and lose points. There is no other way to influence how much or less you can get and you can't know how many you have, which by the way, is the factor in which whistles you have, unless you start getting better whistles once you notice them on your profile. There's no point in getting worse whistles since the better ones you get allows your reports to be more prominent to mods. Don't worry about being the one who's reporting it first, since the system will just automatically give points to everyone who flags it right. The easiest way to get the better ones is simply grinding your ass on it by reporting the more obvious submissions that infringe the guidelines. In case if you're stuck, refer to mainly the Game and Movies Guidelines since Art and Audio submissions aren't allowed here, and while you CAN report reviews, you're arguably the minority to do post a submission and then say "LOOK, this guy's making a spam/abusive review, flag it." If the guidelines doesn't help your call, well, you can just ask in here.

They receive the whistle points from G-bot once a week as an allowance and then re-distribute them to the good boys and girls much like Santa

just ask @exedor, @brokendeck, or @pingu for confirmation

@tox said that there is a weekly limit. I guess he's just trolling.

Points are awarded when a mod or staff actions a flag. I don't get to hoard them like a dragon if I don't earn my own.

I prefer to act like the tooth fairy, I collect flags in your sleep. Gonna make a necklace out of them as a warning to others

Do I have a weekly limit for real? No one's ever told me that before. I am confused.

Yeah you better collect them because I have flagged at least 15 times succesfully, yet I am at normal.

I guess you could get your whistle rank up much faster, IF there is no cooldown, or limit for it. That's why I'm worried. I don't know if there is a cooldown / limit, but I really hope there is not.

You seem to be extremely fixated on whistle points. Just keep flagging correctly and you'll rank up; try not to worry this much about collecting stats.

I just like to have a clear grip on things. That's it.

There is no limit, there is no cooldown. It's simple, so stop trying to make it difficult, peeps. Flag correctly and you gain points, or flag incorrectly and you lose points. And yes, it takes a lot of time and flags to gain rank.

Guthrie may look like an angry old man, but he's ...an angry old man that speaks the wisdom.
