This sucks IS NOT ABUSIVE. (even it's harsh)
You suck IS ABUSIVE. It's insulting the author.

"# Stay on the topic of the submission and do not make personal remarks or insults towards the author. This is a big offense. Telling artists "You suck!", "You should go kill yourself!", "You are gay!", etc. will get you banned and you may lose your account. Without our contributors Newgrounds wouldn't be what it is, so we take seriously any insults directed at them by reviewers.

# Do not post TONS and TONS of crappy reviews just to get high in the rankings. If we catch someone doing this we will delete all their reviews- wouldn't that be a pain in the ass? Take your time and write a sincere review for every movie you wish to critique. Make sure your review is relative to the submission. Reviews that are found to offer no benefit to the author maybe deleted.

# Do not use the review space for the purpose of promoting things. Stick to reviewing the movies - we don't want to hear about how great your website is. Also posting links to websites that reward you for sending hits is prohibited. We will delete your account for these offenses on the first offense with no warning! Posting unrelated links is also prohibited and will result in a ban!

# Do not flood the review title or body. Examples would be long strings of characters or words with no breaks "HAAAAAAAAA", or repeating words or phrases over and over. Also do not submit images made from text and characters, like the infamous middle finger. This will quickly get you banned.

# Do not use reviews to express your feelings that the entry should be BLAMMED. If you post "BLAM THIS" or something similar you will be banned. Use the review option to tell the author how they can improve their work.

# Do not use the review field to address other user's reviews you didn't agree with. You are to be reviewing the submission, not other people's reviews.

# If you believe an entry is stolen, do not comment about it in your review. If you are wrong, you may convince other users that the entry is stolen and you may cause a legitimate entry to receive an unfairly low score, or have the whistle blown on it! Use the whistle option, if available, to flag the entry as stolen when you believe that is the case. If there is no whistle option available (the entry is no longer under judgment) contact Wade with as many details as you can about the stolen Flash and where you think it was stolen from.

# If you think a submission doesn't belong on the front page of the site or sholdn't be featured in special sections of the site, keep it to yourself - the submissions on the front page and in special sections of the site are put there MANUALLY - that means someone in the administration team liked the submission. Keep your thoughts on track of how the person who submitted might improve their work."

Now you've got the guidelines, you can flag well. :)

If a review only contains "this sucks" (and offers no relative criticism), it's abusive.

Agreed. (but i was thinking of: this sucks, this is poor drawn, etc... ( even nobody writes that)

From writing a fair amount of reviews myself, I have also learned that if a review says "This is stolen", it will get deleted (even if it is stolen, unfortunately.)

Yea, I know. This is written on the guideline, saying "blam this" is abusive too, talking to other reviewvers too, etc.

Says that point blank in the rules. Eventually it will be deleted, just if there is basis for investigating, a mod/admin will do so.

Abusive reviews, yay!

Well, the reason I think my reviews got deleted, actually is because I idiotically posted a link to them in this thread.
