Back before the redesign you could get a higher whistle status by marking abusive reviews as such and getting them deleted.

oh ok well will that still work? and how many do i need to change it

You are still able to flag abusive reviews with the current system. The ability to flag flash submissions is being worked on as we speak. As to the points, it is not known by anyone, admins included, how many points are required to get a rank up on your whistle level. It is recommended that you at least do your best to flag abusive things, and help out with the site all you can.

Good luck, however!

Depends on how accurately/often you flag abusive reviews. And Tom has said they're just copying the Art portal system to the other portals, with a "flag" button on the upper bar.

You can't flag flash submissions anymore. If you detect some malicious or stolen content in the portal, you're free to contact Wade.

No. If it's malicious, stolen, or shovelware then you'd report abuse. If it's crappy then you'd blam it.

No point in bothering Wade with abusive submissions anymore. PM a portal mod or post it in the Elite Guard Barrack. Personally I prefer when they're posted in the EGB.

Here's a list of portal mods:
Afro-Ninja
Alexander
Asandir
Auz
Bahamut
DiMono
EJR
ForNoReason
Jay
Jolly

With your B/P totals, this does not in any way, shape or form affect your whistle status, only your ability to Blam or Protect, by increasing your voting power. The whistle system is independent of the B/P system and vice-versa.

No. If it's malicious, stolen, or shovelware then you'd report abuse. If it's crappy then you'd blam it.

To be certain though, you still vote 0, to get it blammed, in the case that it's actually not a) flagged or b) removed by moderators.
