Reviews for Abusive Review Guide 2

Pretty Good

A pretty good tutorial/quiz. The tutorial was cool, although the sound on/off feature was a bit confusing, because I thought that when it was when the red line was in front of the speaker, it meant sound off, not on. The quiz was an interesting feature. However, I got 6-7 questions right, and I have a gold whistle, not a silver whistle. Also, there maybe should have been some sort of menu, instead of everything being on that front page with the arrows. Overall, an interesting tutorial & quiz.

Thanks for the review!

Maybe I should have been clearer about the sound button. If it displays the speaker with the line through it, that means the sound is currently ON but clicking it will turn it OFF.

The whistle you get from the quiz is based on how well you do, you could have a Garage whistle but still get Deity in the quiz.

In future I will include a menu.

Thanks for making both of these flashes!

It helped me understand what an abusive review and what flashes should be flagged. Also, you gave me a place where i could go and post up something i think is abusive or find things other people think are abusive and get myself out of the hole i dug myself. Your really awesome for making this type of flash and helping us newbies understand how this site works.

RohantheBarbarian responds:

I was glad to do it, in fact you are the type of user I aimed this at. I'm glad it gave you a better understanding of abuse and I hope you'll improve your whistle status soon enough.

Thanks for the review.

Another solid, informative entry.

Good to see that it has been updated with some screenshots, and the extra information is of course immensely helpful.

The quiz was a little easy, I guessed the first answer correctly, and the rest after that were pretty much common sense. Still, if this helps more people to understand the intricacies of the Whistle system, then obviously it is doing its job.

Again, good music choice!

RohantheBarbarian responds:

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the review!

Useful

I liked the quiz (Apperantly i'm 'gold'or 8-9) And you told me other stuff that I rally didn't know. My aim is eventully get a broze whistle, but as you said, I don't know how many more movies I need to flag correctly to get one. Ah, well.
Thanks.
:)

RohantheBarbarian responds:

Just keep working at it, and you should get there in no time!

Thanks for the review.

the main 'meat' is solid

I'm still dubious about your claim that 'negative whistle points are worth more than positive ones'. Where did you get this info?

Other than that, this was generally a great tutorial - logically presented info and I liked the way you closed with a quiz. And the post-question parts of the quiz made sure the answer was understood - good stuff!

After muting the music, I couldn't seem to turn it on again though.

Also, the typography/visual design is pretty boring and not really in the theme of NG. Lose the Times New Roman, put in something like 'Hit the Road' and 'Featured Item'. Make the bg closer to the NG colours, then lighten it up. Don't use blue or red text - just black.

Those are my niggles, but the main 'meat' is solid.\

I love the fact that you linked to the google page - that's something I might not have found out otherwise.

RohantheBarbarian responds:

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. You lose more points from a cleared flag than you gain from a deleted one.

The music has a 3-4 second delay before it starts, are you sure it wouldn't restart?

I will improve the visuals in the future.

Thanks for a great review!
