Thanks for reviewing! I'm pleased you found it helpful.
Exellant follow up
I think its a real shame this did not win an adward, although it nearly did.
Graphics. 9/10 This improves on the first one by the layout. The colors are bright, and use rfriendly. This looks vastly better the text, and guide easier to follow. The pictures of diety whisle cool.
Sound. 8/10 This music is great i really liked the choice of track, it fitted the submisson right. It was good to have the same option to turn it off.
A real step up from the first one and one reason why, the quiz this is actually a game making it interactive. The questions are exellant im glad you used Kidray76, he one of my favourite mods. The questions you a,sked are not to hard, but informative to very helpful. Especially the one about only three diety whistle to get a flash marked i never knew that. I thought the bit about explaning the stolen, and other features was cool. I have just marked a stolen flash game today. i know i got diety whisle ,but i think these thing are very important.
I suppose the only thing was the fact about negative points, being worth more then postive made no sense. I could not work that out. Maybe more questions and pictures.
Overeal an exellant guide.

Thanks for the review!
The bit about positive a negative whistle points is a mistake on my part. What I meant was that you lose more points for a cleared flag than you gain for a deleted one.
Nice tutorial
Another solid round of how to find and deal with abusive reviews and flash. I like the stuff that you've brought to the table on this one.
The quiz is really good, as it really helps drill the information into the users who see this - they can read all they want, but sometimes it doesn't stick unless you can make them apply it to the practicality of Newgrounds. Good work.
I'd suggest a selection of music for the next piece, as it's almost perfect here ;)

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for reviewing.
why isn't this in the FAQ page somewhere?
overall, this is brilliant. there are one or two things i should point out though:
apparently, review mods actually have three options open to them when they get something brought to their attention. two of these were mentioned in the flash (deleting the review/flash and dishing out positive w.p, or clearing the review/flash, with negative w.p going to those who flagged it). according to a couple of mods, there is the option to clear a flash of flags without giving those who flagged it negative whistle points. apparently, this option is used when they get something that falls into a 'grey area' (like that "this flash is gay" review you mentioned, for example), where something doesn't technically break the rules, but any mod who sees it can certainly see the reason behind why it was flagged.
however, flagging borderline stuff like that will at best get you nothing (and may stuff your whistle; every mod is different, so each would likely have a slightly different opinion on where the line should be drawn here). i just wanted to mention it for people who watch this and think: "oh shit, i flagged something that didn't break the rules, even though it looked like it did!" that doesn't necessarily mean they/you WILL get bad w.p for it.
secondly (on a much shorter note): Rage's thread has now been locked due to prolonged misuse. people were automatically flagging stuff linked to in that thread, without actually thinking about what they were doing.
RohantheBarbarian responds:
Those are fair points, however the point I was trying to make was that if you flag stuff on the borderline you are taking a huge risk, so it's not really worth it.
As for Rage's I'm aware that it has been locked but I no longer have the .fla for this or my other flashes so I can't change it. No reason that you can't continue to flag things anyway.
Thanks for the review.
