He says go die in a fire TO ME!!

lol

he is just telling you what he voted. I don't think he was abusive, just didn't like your track, like the rest of the reviewers. He gave you some costructive criticism, to use a better microphone, and you even admitted you used a phone. I would not flag this folks.

That's kinda like the Audio version of "Blam this piece of crap!" =P

I ain't flaggin' shit until i get a satisfactory answer... Excuse me while i just sit on my deity whistle forever, 'cause we probably won't get an answer ever. Wade is about as active as a braindead rock, Tom doesn't give a shit, and review mods will probably consider every possibility before admiting that there might be a jackass excuse for a review mod out there fucking it up for everyone.

Chances are its not an abusive review if its not deleted by then.

No, man... A review that links to an outside site? Or to the reviewer's submissions? 24 times in a row? Those were abusive. It can't be argued against.

So how many review mods are there? How many should there be? Why don't they tell us themselves? Are they too busy deleting reviews and passing out garbage whistles? I am sure the UI for deleting these reviews is simple and efficient. I find it hard to believe that they are so overwhelmed that they can't explain. They have time to post some crap comment letting us "children"
know we are just being petty. Hell, she didn't even read the thread enough to grasp what was being said here, just skimmed, wasted page space, and moved on.

Anyway, as it has been said before, I'm starting to feel that my effort on searching for abusive reviews this whole year has become nothing in 5 minutes, it was all worthless, and I know that a lot of people don't take this too seriously, but I also know that a lot of guys really cherish a deity whistle, and that they've spent here a lot of time (I know I had) to get it, so mods, please, take this more seriously.

Some of really don't have enough flags rendering it unremovable.
However if it people just bluntly know it is then they mark it
Other users just get the garbage whistle because they flag old reviews that are already gone and as a result never flag anything right and get deper into garbage rather than cheking the most recent and trying to dig their way out of it.


Really, being a mod may not be what we can call the best thing in the world, but seriously, if you take the responsibility of it, then do it right, don't you think?

If a review flagger actualyl keep[s flagging correctly and seen as a helpful user and points out why others have gotten garbage whistle and occasionaly tossing in where abusive reviews are then they could possibly stand a chance to be review modded.

Im pretty sure they are taking this seriously but as SOAS.life and several other review mods have said..They have so many new flagged reivews and movies coming that they can't check and delete all of them in time. Imagine your recieving close to 500+ marked reviews a day and movies to check that have been flagged and then having to give the user a review ban on top of that everyday.
It never ends my friend. If there were a few more helpful flaggers and review mods as I said earlier..then the current ones would have a bit lighter load placed on them.

This whole whistle system has been shitty to me to. I spent at least 5 months finding abusive reviews to get up to gold and than I flagged a stolen movie, which it was. Than the fucker changes it to an original movie. That in addition to the supposed "goldmine" posted a few pages back with 30+ reviews put me deep in to garbage.

My time was wasted. Flat and simple. No matter how many times I PM review mods I NEVER get answers.. they need a new system or get a LOT more mods..

your first problem is you went to the goldmine a few pages ago. Im going to asume you went today and flagged. That was not the right thing to do. You need to stick to the most recent page and most recently posted abuuse rather than go thru the pages and flag matierial that is no longer there. Thats how come you never gained much whistle power.

They don't need a new system. Its working just fine. Review mods have a life just like us. They dont have time to stay and check marked reviews and movies all day.

Well then mister wiki, explain how abusive or flaggable reviews that do get deleted, give people negative whistle points causing ( this has been asked how many times )? You have yet to even touch the subject that is at the heart of all this. They have been deleted, after receiving hundreds of flags, and yet we all lost whistle points shortly after the deletion. If you can pull that answer out of your butt, then do share. We would like an answer from an actual mod. I can understand why they won't address this issue, because it is a mistake and they dread admitting such. If you would actually say something useful i would listen to you, but you just keep belching out the same rhetoric. We know there were alot of abusive reviews, and we know they have to ban those they think are deserving, but why are they punishing those that are helping them do their job.
Do you suggest we stop flagging for a while, or maybe just Monday to Friday, and then let them have the week end off? WTF.
You were not even online when this happened, i suggest you read this thread from 4 pages back again to grasp what is actually going on right now.

That's why we need more, so at least one review mod can be online 24/7.

They are not always cleared. If the review mod sees a review or movie as unabusive then all people who marked it get negative whistle points and the flags for it are instantly cleared and the movie or flash is left and untouched.

I may not be a mod but I did just try to pull an ansewer out that makes the most sense.

They arent punishing the people who are helping. People who go to garbage for flagging the incorrect matieral are punishing themselves. If the person has their whistle power go up then they are helping and not truly being punished

Do you suggest we stop flagging for a while, or maybe just Monday to Friday, and then let them have the week end off? WTF.

No..for there is always one on here willing to do their job.

You were not even online when this happened, i suggest you read this thread from 4 pages back again to grasp what is actually going on right now.

I was there 4 pages ago. I just never flagged anything at that time because of all the commotion and confusion.

Okay mister smart ass. I flagged the reviews the day they got on, because about an hour after they were posted they got deleted. Everyone knows not to flag old shit.

Well than there life is what's screwing up the system. They can have a life all they want, that just means we need more of them. Flat and simple, there is not enough.

You simply don't understand, the submissions are abusive, excessively and obviously abusive, we flag them, they aren't deleted and we lose points, just as if it wasn't abusive.

Then we yell a huge WTF on this thread.

And still you don't give a f*ck -_-

This thread may be dedicated to their expertise but each and everyone as SOAS says works alone unless they are friends. Also they dont always have to be in this thread. take OsAmArAmA for example and even BlueHippo and RageVI

I bet that a mod, probably one who is both review and forum moderator, will come along and lock this thread because about 10 actual abusive reviews have been posted in the last 4 pages...all the rest has been commotion....

It might even be RageVI himself...Oh, the irony! And somewhat cliched ending really...A ruler's (mod's) brainchild (Rage's Gift) destroyed (locked) by his minions (Rage's Gift regs) who turn against him (and the other review mods)..

Anyway, I'll stop muttering...

It's possible, but i must say that if it is, then it's stupid, since we're making our jobs as normally as possible, we don't start to investigate if it's an alt account, for us, abusive reviews are abusive reviews; just imagine a newbie, he spots a user with 10 or more abusive reviews (and i mean ABUSIVE reviews), and flags them all, just to find out 10 minutes later that he has just been buried forever in Garbage.

I don't assume it's a true rule, but if is, then seriously, wtf... -__-

That would be unfair, besides the alt. NOBODY else knows those are cheat reviews.

A by-line on that hypothesis: what, we're supposed to just look at the 24 abusive reviews and do nothing? Like... leave them there and scratch ourselves going "meh, alt"?
