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.
