Thanks

Helped answer the questions I still had after the first one.

RohantheBarbarian responds:

I am glad our efforts helped you, and thank you very much for reviewing.

thnx man

but i got one question how many times do you have to get wistle status points till you actually level up in wistle status because I've done like ten and it hasnt really worked and im really sure they needed to be flagged.

RohantheBarbarian responds:

Nobody but the NG admins know how many successful flags are required to go up a whistle level, and they're unlikely to tell us ;)

Just keep flagging and you should level up soon enough. Thanks for the review.

im assuming reviews with just "lol" are still considered abusive and or spam right?

RohantheBarbarian responds:

Bit of a borderline one really, if it's a high score probably useless, if it's a low one probably abusive.

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.
