I don't flag as much since the change since some of the excitement has been taken away from flagging now.
Why has the excitement left for you? Your not the only one with deity now perhaps, so can't say your the best on newgrounds, or is it that bans now don't take forever.

I still have the most whistle points I can say that. But what I meant by that is the Sliding scale. When I first had Deity I had to worry about someone passing me and sending me back to gold. To have to keep flagging so you can keep deity was one of the things that made flagging more exciting. Now that it is on a fixed scale and everyone can get it now without losing it make flagging less exciting to me.

For the stat whores in the past. People either flag for the following reasons:
1. Higher whistle to make profile look better
2. Get people banned
3. Be a modest user and do it to clean up newgrounds

People stopped flagging for the following reason in the past:
Unless hard core dedicated like you, had no chance of getting past silver

Now I believe people are actually flagging because they can get to a higher whistle to be even more stat whores or help out newgrounds more since the whistle is stronger. Wade said there have been over 100, 000 review deletions at the last check point. IN the past, probbably took over a year just to have 30,000.

If you really like helping out newgrounds, you'll still flag and help point out the reviews despire of not having to keep up with not losing deity. At least now it's yours till you mess up and not from stopping.

1 and 3 sound true but you didn't need to flag to get people banned. all you had to do was Email or PM a mod with the offenders reviews and they would get banned if they were abusive and recent enough. I used to do that in the past. But now there is no scene because the abusive reviews get deleted far to fact.

People stopped flagging for the following reason in the past:
Unless hard core dedicated like you, had no chance of getting past silver

Sad but true I would read the BBS and many people in the past would ask me why I would flag after silver since It was almost impossible to level up in whistle power. Truth was I wasn't even thinking about leveling up in whistle power but rather to get some laughs when reading the reviews made my stupid noobs thinking they were cool by leaving crappy reviews. When I got gold I flag for that and to get deity since I figured if I got gold I can get deity as well.

Now I believe people are actually flagging because they can get to a higher whistle to be even more stat whores or help out newgrounds more since the whistle is stronger. Wade said there have been over 100, 000 review deletions at the last check point. IN the past, probbably took over a year just to have 30,000.

Yeah this is true While I had got vote 20,000 abusive reviews deleted in under 2 years (which was a massive amount for the old system due to the lack of flaggers) is nothing now since over 1,000,000 will most likely be deleted due to the review mods being able to delete abuse review with the added extras of gold and deity being within the Average flaggers grip and the whistle being made stronger then before.

If you really like helping out newgrounds, you'll still flag and help point out the reviews despire of not having to keep up with not losing deity. At least now it's yours till you mess up and not from stopping.

I never said I stopped flagging I just don't flag as much as I used to. when the new whistle system came out I still went all out with flagging but after a while I just went down to a normal pace. hell even if I messed up I have so many points that it would take massive messing up to lose my deity unless the NG staff reseted my whistle points.

If you flag the reviews as abusive, you get whistle points. Most whistle points means a stronger whistle. A stronger whistle gives more power to a user for hwen they start using it, in turn, it means reviews get looked at faster and deleted faster.

If you mark the review as "No" will it give you whistle points?

No. You only get whistle points if you mark a review as abusive.

Even if others mark it as "Abusive"?

Yes. Only the abusive option counts as flagging the review and whistle points only go to those who flagged the review.

Read this for an in-depth explanation of the whistle system. However, bear in mind that, that thread is rather outdated, most of the points raised are still the case though. The only change is that each level has a fixed number of points required for each level, so the deity user doesn't make the points needed increase.

Are all of you the reason why my reviews are getting deleted? Just because i rate low doesn't mean that i'm abusive. I just didn't like the flash. I'm not even saying "zomg you are gay" i'm just saying stuff like "you have talent but this is just a loop," and then you all flag it? The only semi abusive review was for Sean because he was getting all of you to flag reviews. You people were sopposed to flag the ones that actually are abusive like the ones that advertise or just give links to porn. That is why this thread started. Now you are just abusing your power and flagging everyones reviews simply for free whistle. Wow I actually thought this thread was a good idea which at first it was but forget it now. O well I guess it's not that big of a deal that a lot of my reviews are getting deleted. It's just kind of annoying because i can't say what i want to say.

Ok don't forget the Review mods have the last say when it comes to reviews getting deleted. It doesn't matter how many people mark a review abusive if the review mod says doesn't see it abusive then the marks are cleared instead of the review getting deleted. But the mods do make mistakes so if you think they made a mistake PM a review mod with a copy of the review that got deleted and ask them why the review was deleted. There have been some cases where the review shouldn't have been deleted at all but this isn't always the case.

As for why people are flagging more it is because the levels that where almost impossible to get were put into reach. Now everyone is digging for abusive reviews so they can get the gold and deity whistles. People must have come across your reviews and saw that they were abusive and flag them.
