That's true, abuse of the system is always possible by the creation of new accounts, the use of the ever so terrible proxies, etc. But there's not so much more punishment that can be given if there's always some way around a ban or reduced whistle level.

The punishment from normal to garbage is fairly large - flag one review incorrectly (the flags get cleared on it), and it takes ten correctly flagged reviews to move back to 1 flag power (normal).

But since a normal whistle is only one flag point, it isn't enough to get the review noticed for deletion (unless mods are simply checking recent reviews or reviews for the specific submission).

Even so, I would say occurances like these aren't necessarily common, it's just that since it was a review for a submission called "Stinky Boot FUCKER", and was 10/10 and positive, taken out of context it might seem a bit odd if a mod were to glance at it.

well maybe you should try and get back up to silver then. It only took me 3 days using the links in here to get from bronze to silver.

also, i remember a long time ago when i first came here, whistle levels (maybe just gold) were on a sliding scale, like the amount of flag points you need for gold changed,. is this still the case or is it a set amount now the system has changed slightly??

A Ban...? Don't think so. Look at his lvl/number of reviews/rewards.

That his profile, and your must be looking at something different. In any event, bans can be given to regular users despite post count, exp level, or awards earned. They have nothing to do with the review.

Exactly because as you saw I was talking about his reviews which broke rules 1,2, and 4 as well plus they were recent. But when I saw those reviews I was LOL since I haven't seen abuse like those for a while.

So tell me do you still flag or do you just delete the abusive reviews?

I mostly delete now. I still do some flagging here and there when it warrants or this thread is really slow.

Wow, this is a nice thread. Brings attention to the abusive reveiws and their abusive reveiws. And users are rewarded for cleaning the portal. Nice job for all the avid whistlers in this thread.

Be carefull with what you flag as abusive, as if you flag and it is not abusive you will lose whistle points. And if you have an equal amount of correct flags then you will be at a standstill.

I was carefull when I started flagging. I got bronze overnight.

You only need to flag 50 reviews (that later get deleted) to get bronze. Pretty easy, just depends more on when the reviews get deleted in order to tell how long you'll have to wait.

just this - PsukeLukou (ban and blam comments)

Let's say for arguments sake that a correctly flagged review is worth 10 points. How many points would a incorrect flag take away? Maybe a review mod might know the answer.
