Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Author Comments

Hey! I thought that I wasn't going to do another tutorial, but with a little motivation from Joeyag, I did! In this tutorial you'll learn how to:

- Flag the right reviews.
- Get abusive reviews quickly.
- Know what reviews are classed as abusive.
- And maybe even, get a deity whistle!

This tutorial features the great song, Animal I've Become by Three Days Grace!

I'd just like to thank IngramJ and tigerkitty for there useful information on what else to flag! If you enjoyed the tutorial or it helped you, please comment and vote 5!

P.S. I've made the tutorials height smaller, because I felt that I didn't need all that room that I had in the previous tutorials!

Note: Don't bother trying to be funny or sarcastic in your review, it will only get deleted.

Reviews

Well this is accualy helpfull but this is basic stuff,it's also a BBS post but shinier and with animation and music,but still some people might not go to the forums and not know this so good job it should help alot of newbies and kids/newbie kids out there!
P.S. Get rid of the spinning background it makes it harder to read,or maybe its just me...

I'd say that this piece needs more work to bring it across as a proper tutorial - you've given us quite a detailed breakdown of the ways to get into the Deity Whistle Brigade. The main issue is that this is only a BBS post presented in a slightly shinier package, which isn't what I want to see.

I'd personally get rid of the spinning background - it makes the text hard to read. Give us a demonstration of how to advance in levels, maybe with a slideshow of the right buttons to press, for example.

Tutorials are mostly boring, but the addition of a spinning background doesn't assist really. Still, at least you covered the points in the tutorial well :)

Hmmm, this is a pretty cool tutorial, i may need it as my whistle tends to fluxuate between bronze, normal and garbage. >:(
Its a nice and helpful tutorial overall but id advise changing a few things, like the backround, confusing after a while. so much spinning... :-S
nice colours and the buttons were big and clear, One thing that agitated me slightly was all the steps seemed kinda empty, you should add screens of abusive reviews and maybe the different whistle levels.
Apart from that they it was pretty good. Make more tutorials!! ^_^

The tutorial is quite nice and sure pretty helpful. But you should use a bigger font and a static background. Sometimes it was difficult to read what was written there. And the spinning background gets annoying pretty fast.

Also, please check your grammar before you submit the flash. "There" and "their" are two different words with a different meaning. ;)

I liked that you included a button to turn the music off, because after some time even the best piece of music gets annoying. But you should work on the buttons a bit. They were only clickable on the letters, not on the space in between the letters. Check out some button tutorials here on NG.

Some more examples in the tutorial would be nice, too (include screenshots of actual abusive reviews (with the name of the author blurred out of course)). Then you would have a nearly perfect guide!

Nonetheless it is good information for newer users. People generally don't read the FAQ unless they are directed to it by the users in the forum, and they probably spend more time watching flash if they're new - so if they come across this flash it could be fairly useful. I personally thought it was a good guide for new users to understand the system with, but I also had a couple of problems with it.

The main thing I didn't like to be honest was the rotating red and yellow background because it made for a harder reading experience. One other major point is that you needed to add more pictures so that people knew exactly what they need to see. If you took a screen shot of someone being abusive and placed it in your flash it would be far more useful, or even a couple different examples.

This was a good way to get new users to understand the system, but you need more visuals is all I'm trying to say. Good work though.
