DarkSoldier, I think you are just whining now. You know, just because you get a garbage whistle it doesn't mean it is the end of the world. All you have do to is resume marking abusive reviews and submissions correctly and making sure you are not just marking the ones you think are abusive, but actually making sure. The problem I think you have is that you see a review that is marked abusive by many people and you think, hey this is marked by a lot of people, I'm going to mark as well. What you are doing is just what I call mass-flagging. Just because you see a review marked abusive by many, it doesn't mean it is. Make sure it truly violates the reviewing rules and then mark it abusive.

Don't feel mad, sad, or upset. By being mad or upset, do you think you will raise your whistle level back to silver? I don't think so. Look, just mark carefully reviews that are abusive and make sure they violate the rules. That's all there is to it.

Its just that well i worked really hard for silver i did like 50 pages of abusive reviews (AND I KNEW THAT THEY VIOLATED THE RULES) and thats what makes me so pissed. I do read that they are abusive i don't just mark it like that unless 30 people marked it abusive.

Then I do not know what to tell you. You are definetly doing something that is causing this "rapid whistle change" because 1) It cannot change on it's on. 2) If there was a bug or an error with the process of flagging reviews, then I believe many users would have garbage whistles right now. Like I told you, it really isn't a big deal and just start flagging again. It will eventually go up to another level.

i understand youre upset darksoldier, but PenguinLink is right, whining to us isnt gonna help you get your Silver whistle back. All we can do is give you our sympathy and links. Links to abusive reviews. If you want to get your silver whistle back then start flagging those reviews. I know thats what got you into this mess but its the only way back out as well.

PS. i wrote this after PenguinLinks most recent post but could not post it for some reason. i am referring to PenguinLinks second last post. ^^'

Lol this is hilarious. You poor bastard. I just wish you could make it to diety and then you would never have to do any flagging again. Then there would be no chance of your whistle changing. Although knowing your luck anything is possible!

1). I decide to take one longer nap one day because I'm worn out and I come back to this? Members, please as I have told you before. Please try all the best you can to form slightly longer posts. I'm not saying some of yours are bad, but some are short and use a bit too much caps, which would have been alright with a bit longer post. But it wasn't which makes us look a lot different then we are so I ask you politely and you know I don't do that too often, try to make longer posts.

2). Alright I get it, less swearing...If you think this is swearing watch me play GoW/NFS:MW and loosing, then you'll hear swearing.

Yes, I agree. This has been said numerous times by me and you but some members just do not get it. You did a great job of not swearing, Phantom. I know that is difficult for you to do but you sound more positive and makes the Elite Guard Barracks look more professional. But if something pisses you real off, Phantom I will not try to stop you or interfere with your anger because you'll probably use those fireballs on me.

2). Alright I get it, less swearing...If you think this is swearing watch me play GoW/NFS:MW and loosing, then you'll hear swearing.

Lmao. I imagine you seeing getting real pissed off and practically breaking the controller. Hey, I even do that as well. I sometimes swear so much that I have to turn the video game system off because of my anger and ability to destroy everything in my reach. And yes, I sometimes break objects and it then costs me more anger afterwards. *Sigh* It is a never ending cycle of anger. :(

Heh, I sure will. Swearing is a way to transfer anger, since I have a lot of that it is natural I swear a lot, but since I got lots of sleep and it is Saturday, the anger-o-meter drops a bit. Just don't push it, really. I not only beat things, but people too.

Now that I understand, I've broken oh...2 controllers so far. I've broken many things lately but bitter experience taught me to only break things that cost nothing, thus explaining why I spend considerable money on a punching bag and gloves to use. It really helps. In the 50 minutes I spend beating it I could have broken every single machine I own, it really helps if you want to know.

I hope you dont mean my posts. I try to make them as large as possible without spamming. If I am one of the offenders, please tell me and I will try not to do it again. Thankyou

I can just picture you guys doing something like the guy does on this video. Except replace the computer with a Wii.

I know this is pretty random Penguin Link but why on earth do you only have a 0.8 post average? You post all the time in this forum and im just wondering why your average is sooo low. I'm guessing you didnt post much when you first signed up but I want to know your story. What is your story?

Also, I recently made 666 posts!

Yes, that's pretty much it. When I first signed up, which was quite some time ago (To be exact, 1 year and 5 months) I didn't post at all. That pretty much explains my low post count. I just didn't find any reason to post when I firsted signed up.

Also, I recently made 666 posts!

I noticed that. To be exact, I got kinda of scared there. I thought a demon would leap from the screen and chase me down the street, yelling "666!" But fortunately, that didn't happen. Anyway congratulations on getting that scary, but unique post count. :D

Phantom If you are still going with the temp Replacement I requested sometime back I would like to naminate Sterockicy. I see him helping out in the abuse thread like I did in the past. I think he would make a great Temporary replacement or even permanent replacement for me.

In other news my home is being rebuilt but slowly. later troops for now.

Oh my goodness I have been quiet about this but you seem to be hitting the abuse button for everything these days. If you want I could flag for you and get you do deity. Or if you want I can give you pointers on how what to flag and what not to flag. I swear you whistle must be having mood swings.

W-w-well g-g-golly Mr. Eaglerock s-sir, do you think I could join the elite guard someday?

No you guys don't understand. These reviews were abusive and for some reason it lead me here. LW if you could give some pointers that would really be helpful.

thanks

I am reaching a total of 8,000 B/P points. Only 2,000 more and I reach a total of 10,000. I am also 300 or 200 B/P points away from reaching my next rank. I better enjoy the rank I have currently because once I get the next one, I will never have a sliver/blue one. What about you guys? What next rank are you guys close to?

What next rank are you guys close to?

I'm 700-ish away from elite guard master sergeant.

Or at least I think that's the one :P

Agh, I missed a full-day of b/p today. I had my mates round, and all we did was jam for ages. I broke a set of drum sticks :(

And then some chick called me for 90 whole minutes, (Her credit- not mine ;) ).

Oh well.

Damn socialism.

How was everyone else's day? :3

I am 794 points away from Elite Guard Lieutenant General. It will take me about a week and a half to reach it. I'm always proud of myself when I break the 1,000 mark to my next ranking. Too bad once I reach General that will take a long time to break.

I'm about 400 away from Sergeant First Class. I too an glad whenver I break a 1000 rank because it just makes me feel good. If I just B/Ped when I first got Private (I stopped completely for 4 straught months before I started again).

50 points until star number two. I tend to create a lot of small goals in order to brighten up the whole B/P experience. Every thousand points always feels good- in blams, saves and over all, but I'm usually aiming for the next hundred. One step at a time :). Plus I am always trying to narrow the gap between my blams and saves- just over 3000 now from a gap of over 4500 just a few months ago.

Damn you are a long way ahead now :(

Nice, close to the second star! I'm glad your keeping yourself occupied with goals while your gaining B/P points. They keep ypur head straight. Getting another 1,000 points on your blams and saves count is great, makes your account look cooler.

Damn you are a long way ahead now :(

773 away from my next rank now! Still, I'm not that far away from you. If you keep up that monster pace you had before you left then ypu will catch up to me in no time.

Unfortunately. :(

I'm wondering why nobody has commented on SlashFirestorm's recent post here.

Waits for Phantom's rage

Thankyou very much for your nomination. I have been very "busy" lately. And by that I mean walking around the house trying to find something exciting to do while my dad hogs both the friggen computers! >:-(

But I managed to get on NOW so im going to make good use of it before I go out for dinner!

I must ask though what position you are recommending me for and what it involves. I am very honoured and interested but have no idea what is expected from me if I am offered the position, temperarely or permanently.

Thank you so much for your recommendation LittleWashu and I look forward to Phantoms input on the situation.

I see that you still have that garbage whistle darksoldier keep trying! as for me i probably only voted on 15 entries today (since i got my wii i seem to get slower and slower) I am sick of this pathetic progress and i want to make it my mission to get to Elite Guard Corporal by next Sunday. you guys think i can get there?
