Is there any way to un-mark this? I flagged a review, by the way.

If I offer to help you in a post, PM me to get it. I often forget to revisit threads.

I don't think so. I've had this a few times before as well.

Probably the best thing you can do is PM a review mod to ask if he would click "remove flags from this review" instead of "remove flags and remove whistle points from everyone who flagged it".

The Review Request club, the Blammers List (update every 15th), and the Protectors List (Update every 1st). My sig has it all.

If it was obviously not abusive, then there's no reason to worry about it. Reviews only get to the mod list if they have several flags on them, and if it's not abusive, then yours will be the only flag it likely ever gets. Ergo, it'll never get to said list, and you won't ever have it bite your whistle in the ass as a result.

And if it was borderline or outright abusive, then there's also nothing to worry about, because that's what the 'clear without penalty' and 'delete' buttons are for, respectively. :D

no, i don't think so, though i wouldn't worry too much about it. if this is the only review you accidentally marked as abusive it probably wouldn't affect you at all.

No, there is no way to un-mark it. At the worst ways, you'll drop down to Gold - counter this, by marking a few reviews that definitely are abusive as so. It's not as big a deal as you think, making one mistake - you'll only get bombed back to garbage, if you keep making the mistakes and you deserve to have this happen to you
