"Well Made Game"

by: Sectus

date: July 24, 2009

This is a very informative review guide,
It remains to be the most structured and well balanced review guide I have seen in a while. It had some nice background music, but the music didn't flow as well with the flash and information as I had hoped, maybe next time provide some more meaningful music. As well, the background colors didn't really inspire better reviews. But for the most part the guide is very informative and helpful, and has inspired me to write better reviews.

The information was slightly less than I expected, maybe next time add some more tips on how to discover if a review is bad, or good, other than the few points about how the game is bad, this is a very good and helpful review guide, keep up the good work, happy reviewing.

"The information was gold, but it looked like rust."

What I'm trying to say is that while the flash itself was good, It was hard on the eyes.
You could improve by adding a nicer background, bigger text, fix grammar mistakes, and and re-wright the everything to make it easier to understand.
I myself felt like I was forcing my brain to read the small text over the ugly background.
Don't get me wrong, the info was something everyone should know, but with a nicer display, this would deserve a 10/10.

I hope you consider my views, because if you do, i know you could really turn this into something great.

This is very helpful to most people on Newgrounds, obviously. At least it helps me! I only wish that more people could make tutorials like these, only about different subjects on Newgrounds. Hmm... Perhaps something Fulp should think about...

Anyway, you deserve this ten. But improve the graphics, k?

"why isn't this in the FAQ page somewhere?"

overall, this is brilliant. there are one or two things i should point out though:

apparently, review mods actually have three options open to them when they get something brought to their attention. two of these were mentioned in the flash (deleting the review/flash and dishing out positive w.p, or clearing the review/flash, with negative w.p going to those who flagged it). according to a couple of mods, there is the option to clear a flash of flags without giving those who flagged it negative whistle points. apparently, this option is used when they get something that falls into a 'grey area' (like that "this flash is gay" review you mentioned, for example), where something doesn't technically break the rules, but any mod who sees it can certainly see the reason behind why it was flagged.
however, flagging borderline stuff like that will at best get you nothing (and may stuff your whistle; every mod is different, so each would likely have a slightly different opinion on where the line should be drawn here). i just wanted to mention it for people who watch this and think: "oh shit, i flagged something that didn't break the rules, even though it looked like it did!" that doesn't necessarily mean they/you WILL get bad w.p for it.

secondly (on a much shorter note): Rage's thread has now been locked due to prolonged misuse. people were automatically flagging stuff linked to in that thread, without actually thinking about what they were doing.

Because of you, I understood how the flagging system works, and because of that, I got a Deity Whistle, for all my hard work following this guide! This flash should be the first one new users on Newgrounds should see!

but i got one question how many times do you have to get wistle status points till you actually level up in wistle status because I've done like ten and it hasnt really worked and im really sure they needed to be flagged.

"Really nice but i have some questions..."

by: L3pra

date: November 10, 2008

Very useful to me. But i could add some pics and do better buttons for the next one if you gonna make another1 but still very useful. However some info is missing for me . E.g: What happens when a review is abusive but scores 10? or when it scores 4 or 3... is still abusive?
I don't know if its accurate but what happens when the authors reply and insult, flood or do text pictures or whatever , is not that a waste of review space? Why you can't post abusive reviews of your own flashes? And finally, i used 2 accounts to flag some 100% abusive reviews but one lose w.p. and became a garbage wistle, the another one was still bronce but i am sure it lose points too. I didn't know that it was forbidden . Thanks in advance for all and excuse me for the questions...

I liked the quiz (Apperantly i'm 'gold'or 8-9) And you told me other stuff that I rally didn't know. My aim is eventully get a broze whistle, but as you said, I don't know how many more movies I need to flag correctly to get one. Ah, well.
Thanks.
