Hi. I have blown the whistle in many crappy and free-blam ebtries (about 30) and marked many author-offensive rewiews as abusive. But my whistle is neither broken neither broke. How does the whistle-promotion system works? If anyone can help me, thank you.
The short answer is that no one knows how many WPs you need to gain a whistle level.
The long answer is in my Whistle FAQ. Note that I have NOT yet finished that page, which is why the FAQ link from the site in my sig still leads nowhere. I e-mailed gfox, ramagi, and TheJoe on the Whistle FAQ and the "best guess" errors I created to at least make sure I had something framed out. gfox wrote back and his corrections are still on the hard drive of the PC that I put in the shop today. As I recall, most of those errors have to do with the authority and power of the review mods, so if you ignore those procedural sections, you'll get about the most complete answer that can be given to your question.
