Er, what the heck are you talking about? Or are you just joking around?

directly quoting:
Users with broken whistles have no effect on anything they attempt to flag.

Right, and then the sentences right after that, "However, users with a broken whistle may still receive negative or positive points so they can either dig themselves a deeper hole or try to regain a normal level and effectively flag entries once again."

No, you can be under 18.

Forum mods 18+ tend to be preferred, but this certainly isn't a strictly followed rule (as there have been a number of forum mods modded as young as 16).

At 8/20/08 02:17 AM, AdairTishler wrote: tigerkitty said she'd penalize for it, then later said she'd only penalize for it if she saw a lot of old reviews getting flagged

Thanks for the info. I looked through her posts and she seems to have contributed to the current view in this thread about old reviews. Here are some responses to what she has posted.

1. If a review is from 2005 or earlier, flags will be cleared with penalty. Guidelines have changed since these reviews were written, and we are not going to penalize them for rules not in place when they were created.

There are a number of things wrong with this statement. First off, the guidelines have been exactly the same dating back to the start of 2004, not 2005. Secondly, Wade has stated that old reviews will be deleted, and that older users should expect this to happen. I'm not sure where she's coming from, personally.

Besides, even if there was a "glitch" (which there isn't) 14 reviews will not make you drop a whistle level.

She's wrong on this as well, seeing how getting your flags cleared on 14 reviews will SURE AS HELL drop you a whistle level (or two). Perhaps she wasn't sure how the system worked when she made that post, and that's why she thought clearing the flags wasn't as big as a problem.

Just a quick reminder, please don't flag reviews before 2005. I'm currently clearing these WITHOUT penalty. However, if you continue to blindly flag these old reviews, I will have to start pushing the penalize button.

A more recent (although still 3 months old) post, which seems to present a more fair way of dealing with "old" reviews. I, along with most every other review mod completely disagree with it, but clearing with penalty is at least reasonable. A bit ambiguous on that "blindly flagging" part, so eh.

Anyway, it's quite unfair of me to quote posts she made 3 months ago or more in determining her current stance on the issue, so I suppose I'll contact her about it. I, too, would like to get some actual consensus on this issue; it's quite bothersome.

Really? Who has said that? Link? I've never seen a review mod actually state that they're going to clear the flags on old reviews.

It sucks it depends which mod sees your review that decides whether it's abusive or not. They should all get together and make a FAQ of what is abusive and what is not.

Most of the mods agree with my position (and absolutely none of them have said that only 2005+ reviews are to be flagged, or that users should be penalized for flagging old reviews).

If the users here are worried that they're going to lose points for flagging these reviews anyway (based on their own speculation/observation), then fine--they can do what they want. I just don't want false information being spread that the review mods have said something they haven't, or have some kind of policy which doesn't exist.

Also this guy makes short and shitty reviews, I didn't flag them, should I?

With the positive ones that just say "cool", leave them for now. However, I'd keep an eye on that user if he continues to do so. If it's only a few reviews here and there, no big deal.

Yes, it is. Private browsing keeps cookies from being accepted, but doesn't delete ones you already had (such as your previous Newgrounds ones), so while you appear as logged in, private browsing may be keeping your cookies from updating or something similar, causing that error.

If that's the reason, it seems a bit odd, because I swear I remember this happening even when I wasn't on 'Private Browsing'.

Then see liljim's explanation above.

I believe this occurs when you make a post that is too short. Like posting only a few characters/single words (like "um", "no", "wtf", etc). You should be posting a little longer something that actually contributes to thread.

Ok, I now understand a little better what made you think why it was stolen.

However, it simply isn't possible to rip/download a ROM, turn it into an .swf, and upload it here (and have it work on top of everything). The person programmed that game himself. Sure, he used Tetris graphics, but so do all other sprite movies and games that use original game graphics.

The fact that Newgrounds has a Video Game Remakes collection should prove that it isn't a "stolen submission."

Ok, that's fine. I would suggest that Wade be contacted about this.

I wouldn't go so far to contact liljim, because he might laugh you off if you say there's some kind of glitch. However, if you feel there is a problem with deleted reviews awarding negative points, then maybe you should swing him a PM anyway just to ease your concerns.

So, we (at least I) trust in that you haven't done anything wrong, but we really need to find out the reason of this problem (or who made it).

Like I said, there's no way of knowing what problem exists--if a problem even does exist beyond the scope of the users--and what may have caused it. The review mods don't have any more "information" than you. Contact an admin; this thread won't solve anything.

Topic: The Whistle System Issue

Posted: 08/16/08 10:15 PM

Forum: Where is / How to?

Wow, ok. So I skimmed the last few pages of the abusive review thread. Serious business indeed.

Moving on to this thread:

At 8/16/08 07:17 PM, Solraczeravla wrote: After some time, we notice that the review wasn't deleted, what's worst, we lost whistle points for flagging it.

I don't see how that's possible to know for sure. Although I will compromise by saying this seems to be a more common problem for users lately.

So we need to solve this problem, the controversy is getting greater and greater, since flagging an abusive review actually destroys your whistle, we have a modding problem, and it must be fixed as soon as possible.

If there is a problem with a mod or a group of mods, why post it here? Why not contact Wade about it? In fact that's exactly what I'd suggest. If it's a case of bad modding, you don't complain on the BBS--you contact an admin (and if it's a legitimate concern and not whiny complaining, then he may get back to you).

I assume the reason why you shouldn't flag it is because those reviews are not legit, and are cheat reviews. The main goal of that spam account would be achieved if anyone got whistle points. In order to discourage this, you are rewarded negative whistle points instead.
Don't consider it rule, just keep it in mind.

That incident (which happened a while ago) was indeed a mistake by a mod. The flags shouldn't have been cleared on those reviews. Thus, you shouldn't be "punished" anymore (rather, the reviews just won't be deleted before the account is, or the flags will be cleared without any penalty and THEN they'll be deleted--at least that's how I see it).

So this thread was created to fight this problem, everyone is invited to contact someone important (honestly I don't think Tom or Wade would attend you, but it can happen) and report him what's going on.

How is this fighting the problem? All you're doing is complaining about the review mods in a place where you won't get much more than speculation and complaints from users who went down a whistle level.

At 8/16/08 07:30 PM, C-Hawk wrote: 3) All 24 reviews are deleted.
4) Everyone who flagged those 24 reviews are punished with negative whistle points

if the reviews are deleted, how are you tying the two incidents together? Or are you thinking the flags were cleared and THEN the reviews were deleted, which seems completely asinine of an idea for anyone to do. Seems to me that these are two separate incidents.

If it is some kind of "rouge mod" clearing the flags, there's no way for any user or mod to know who it is and/or what their specific actions are. Even if it's some kind of "glitch", there's no way any mod or user could give evidence of this or explain it properly.

Since you're so concerned, why hasn't an administrator been contacted? I saw someone posting a link to the staff page here, but did anyone take action? I don't think this is a problem with the review mod team, since there really haven't been any more new review mods lately. If an account was compromised, the "hacker" would do a lot more than clear your flags.
