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.

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.

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

Limits for some-- unlimited for others. :)

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

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

My dude. Who cares how its distributed? Just flag correctly, you will get them. Simple. :)

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.
