What do you think of this old feature of Newgrounds? Personally, I hate it. For example, the Kitty Krew's return collab, made with 100% effort and heart, was massflagged. Will Wade do anything about it? No he won't. And that's the big flaw of this system:
NOBODY CARES FOR FLAGGED FLASHES
Hell, some spam crews have even flagged popular artist's works, and only with special contact with Tom or Wade were they able to get them unflagged.
And think of it this way: If something stolen, someone can report it to an admin for deletion. Sure, the flash will be hosted for a few more days, but which is of higher priority, the length of a stolen flash's visit when it will inevitably be deleted, or the life of a legitimate but incorrectly flagged flash, which loses all chance of front page and winning an award even IF it is unflagged?
This is a terrible method of picking out bad flash. Users can simply massflag a flash to send it into oblivion. Yes, I'm sure flagging works on malicious flash, but so? It's not like Tom or Wade actually check if a flash is malicious or not.
In conclusion: discuss the whistling system. What do you think of it?
there may be a few logic gaps in my argument here and there because i'm incredibly pissed off at the laziness involved in handling flagged flash
