I thought KWAS was a bad reviewer. I guess quantity over quality, I am guilty too but this is something else.

Right? With a name like Chuck-Ripper you'd think he was a bit more thoughtful than "5 stars, awesome, cute :3, nice". There you go, that's about five reviews of his in one place. Also who's KWAS?

KWAS71KCK was a top reviewer or 2nd place that wrote bland generic reviews that were cookie-cutter-esque.

That was waaay longer than most of them too. XD Though IMO if you don't comment with amounts in mind, small words of encouragement are great too. Seems like as soon/if you stumble upon this list though you'll have secondary motives no matter what.

By today's standards they really weren't that short either. :) He almost caught up to X, then just left, and for years he held that second spot steadily. Huge gap between him and X and everyone else, though looks like that gap's gonna shrink a bit now.

Makes sense because the likelihood that a submission is deleted increases with its time spent on the site, especially when creators leave the site and delete all their submissions in the process.

True that. Should've started reviewing maybe a decade later, gained amounts faster with decreased standards, and lost less less quickly; almost caught up to the top and then gone in for a surprise take-over when the veterans suddenly dropped down a bit. :P Alas, retrospective wisdoms!

Huh...yeah, you're right. I guess I didn't read any of the reviews themselves.

I will say sometimes its not really worth going the extra mile to write a full blown review for every single flash movie out there so sometimes you just gotta just keep it short and simple

For sure. Especially when they're not eternal.

Hah, I remember old times when I met your comments. As for me it was really impressive that you can just make a fully explanation of your opinion. Also Vicarious IMHO had simmilar review style.

Well thank you, that's all you can really try to do. :) And glad to be compared to Vicarious! Haven't read much of his reviews but he definitely speaks his mind; manages to say some mind-opening things.

Oh yes, I was going to inquire about that. Now that we don't have the Useless button anymore, do we flag useless reviews as spam? Or do we only do that if they're like this?

If it's a useless review; don't flag it. If the user has a LOT of duplicate reviews or mad lib style reviews, feel free to flag them as spam or copypasta.

I like that you can leave a comment on a flag now. When I'm modding I might clear flags off a positive review but if it says it's copy or stat whoring I can investigate. You can also PM one of us if you want

But sometimes best review - short reviev. Like "looks cute 10/10", or my beloved " awesome 5/5". Yeah looks silly but sometimes no need extra words to express your feelings.

With all the recent bugs and loses, is there any idea when we could see the next review update?

This would indeed be very useful. Pardon me for posting here so much without being on the list. I really want to know what the bottom threshold for the list is now that people have lost reviews and some new people might be joining.

Indeed. And maybe there's no reason to pardon after all. ;)

I can't be the only one who wants to know that answer. It seems like it has been a long time since the last update.

I think the "bug fix" that caused us to lose all these reviews was a one-time thing, but not everyone was affected equally by this policy. That means the reviewers list is bound for a shake-up, and it's going to be interesting to see what it looks like going forward.

Just curious how the change went for all, is all. Like TaintedLogic said. On thaat note...

...thanks for this! :D Doesn't show exactly how much was lost for all active users considering the last update was still a long time ago now, and the loss was a while ago now too, but exact amounts would take some excessive Wayback digging to research, if it's findable info at all. Anyhow: many thanks for putting this together! Looks like X is reclaiming those losses pretty fast so far.

Also enviously little some users dropped here. ViceFullbuster must've had a sixth sense on choosing what to review, with a mere 300 per 10K loss... seems like for most people it's at least 3-4 times as much.

True, but if those on the list all lost reviews then it won't be much of a shake-up.

Though the losses weren't evenly distributed at all. All depended on which submissions you reviewed, so could've been some real anomalies there but...

Since the last August 5, 2018 update, the top 10 reviewers are still top 10 except for @ViceFullbuster and @Wegra

...seems thee wasn't! Good to know. And still pretty solid gaps between most.

Wow, Vice dropped from first to fifth place. That is the biggest drop in the top ten that I have ever seen.

Silly Dr. S. XwaynecoltX has always been first. By my understanding Vice just dropped one. I based this off the August review ranks so it may be off buxt it gives you an idea where you guys are.

Quisty, I think that you are correct. Must of read that chart the wrong way. Anyway, the new update will be the most exciting one in a long time. Those bugs and loses and still be felt today.

Not only that but he lost the least out of anyone in the Top 10. XD Agree though, the next update's bound to be interesting!

That is pretty cool! Such a long time to hold the throne...

@cyberdevil I just wanted to make the list with the old data (the only data we had) to see where everyone was. I knew you and X would stay as you were, but I was curious for the rest. I hope a new official list comes soon.

For sure. :) Do appreciate it too!

He lost the least amount? You would think the older reviews would of vanished the most. Not the newer ones.

He must of been very lucky. I wonder if all of this will cause him to return. I have not heard from him in a long time.

Being so active for so long can really wear you down. It starts to be a never ending grind.

Maybe he feels like he has mastered NewGrounds, and is off to the next challenge?
