I wouldn't say too many of his reviews are abusive, but they're almost all one line and unhelpful, and he's putting more reviews out than me and demon0 put together. Could be a "making dozens of nonsense reviews to get to the top of the rankings" contender. Mark as/if you wish.

That guy has 58 reviews, and 55 of them are abusive. Have fun

This guy has over 400 reviews, and at least three (on page 15) is just "you suck dick" about three million times. The rest are only about one line long, so he's due a few deletions for my money. Need him out of my top 50 for general retardedness.

Be honest now! :)

Frankly ? It was mainly for the morons themselves.
But since you brought that idea about the users chasing the morons up, I'm like " both dude " !! :-P

Heh, this place disappeared for a while. NG's pretty clean now, there's not much left to whistle.

SushiClock having fun with Avo's "Sonne" .fla. :)

Needless to say, many flames resulted.

For the record, they're friends. It was a joke.

About forty people didn't get that.

Is it just me who thinks this, or would everybody else like to see some actual figures for the whistle stuff?

I know I certainly would.

People have been clamoring for whistle stats for awhile now...

whistle stats and VP ranking would own indeed.

eh, VP rank is much more important, and isn't really "abusable."

Popularity rank was taken down because it encouraged trickery, scams, and tons of profile refreshing for no good reason.

BBS poster rank will never exist (except on format's unofficial top 50 list) because it will encourage spamming to get your rank higher.

Whistle info/rank/point info would be abused because people would start to blow the whistle more irrationally, and same thing with abusive review marking, especially if they're right on the edge of getting a new whistle and just can't WAIT for actual abusive reviews/stolen flash to get their points up.

And yes, having their whistle drop SHOULD be a deterrent, but I'd argue that not knowing how far away from the next whistle is much more of a deterrent for the above reasons.... people will go ahead and screw up their whistle because they're impatient and ignorant about what constitutes good and bad whistle-blowing.

So, in summary: VP ranking... YAY! Whistle ranking/info... boooo.

If people vote good reviews abusive, then it's their own fault and they can suffer. That really isn't much of a point against.

Unless your a review mod nope.

Wow! Thanks guys! I went from normal whistle to Silver. When I checked my profile to see how many points I had to go until my next badge I checked my whistle thinking "Hm I doubt it'll be different". Well I was wrong about that! Hah thanks again guys for posting this thread

I just want to have some figures so I know if there's any point in me trying for gold.

Movie 83058 (stupidly copied the javascript link) - sorry there's no direct link. Only six reviews, pretty much all offensive.

no prob. I just copied the number, scrolled up to the top of the topic page, clicked a link Scaper-X posted, and then pasted the id in.

For those too lazy to do that:

This guy left a shitty review for one of my movies that was like 1 word long and cussed us out. So I went though his reviews and it seems he has quite a few:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/readreview.php3?user_id=213164

Dozens of reviews attacking illwillpress.

Dozens of reviews composed of utter stupidity.

Soup's on. Again.

Quite a few here too!:

Gahh.. that idiot again, I've banned him 4 times myself, and he has been banned by others as well. I don't see why the hell his account isn't just deleted, or at least permanently banned from reviewing. Ban #5 from me.

Heh, I feel pretty stupid...I started this topic, got a gold whistle shortly after, and gave up on both later on

I really should get back to it, but I'm probably so far behind within the silver range that I don't have much hope, oh well
