I don't know what to title this.
I just noticed that you made a second one. At first I thought that you wouldn't need a second one, but this was at least 3X better then the first one.
P.S. I got my silver whistle thanks to your first guide.

I am glad you found this one an improvement, and I hope you put that Silver whistle to good use!
Thanks for reviewing.
Nice tutorial
Another solid round of how to find and deal with abusive reviews and flash. I like the stuff that you've brought to the table on this one.
The quiz is really good, as it really helps drill the information into the users who see this - they can read all they want, but sometimes it doesn't stick unless you can make them apply it to the practicality of Newgrounds. Good work.
I'd suggest a selection of music for the next piece, as it's almost perfect here ;)

I'll definitely think about music selection for any future projects, thanks for the review!
Awesome!
This was very educational, cleared a thought of things up... I didn't expect to learn anything, but I did! I had always wondered if you get negative whistle points if one of your reviews is deemed abusive and deleted. Apparently, no. Yay! I was worried about that because I'm wavering between garbage and normal whistle, and then I got a message saying one of my reviews had been deleted, and I was like, "Oh crap >.<"... but thank you for clearing that up. This is seriously the most helpful flash I have ever seen, and I hope you and Corky do succeed in becoming review mods. Great job, a very helpful flash.

That is the single best compliment I've gotten for either guide, thanks a bunch for the review!
Exellant follow up
I think its a real shame this did not win an adward, although it nearly did.
Graphics. 9/10 This improves on the first one by the layout. The colors are bright, and use rfriendly. This looks vastly better the text, and guide easier to follow. The pictures of diety whisle cool.
Sound. 8/10 This music is great i really liked the choice of track, it fitted the submisson right. It was good to have the same option to turn it off.
A real step up from the first one and one reason why, the quiz this is actually a game making it interactive. The questions are exellant im glad you used Kidray76, he one of my favourite mods. The questions you a,sked are not to hard, but informative to very helpful. Especially the one about only three diety whistle to get a flash marked i never knew that. I thought the bit about explaning the stolen, and other features was cool. I have just marked a stolen flash game today. i know i got diety whisle ,but i think these thing are very important.
I suppose the only thing was the fact about negative points, being worth more then postive made no sense. I could not work that out. Maybe more questions and pictures.
Overeal an exellant guide.

Thanks for the review!
The bit about positive a negative whistle points is a mistake on my part. What I meant was that you lose more points for a cleared flag than you gain for a deleted one.
the main 'meat' is solid
I'm still dubious about your claim that 'negative whistle points are worth more than positive ones'. Where did you get this info?
Other than that, this was generally a great tutorial - logically presented info and I liked the way you closed with a quiz. And the post-question parts of the quiz made sure the answer was understood - good stuff!
After muting the music, I couldn't seem to turn it on again though.
Also, the typography/visual design is pretty boring and not really in the theme of NG. Lose the Times New Roman, put in something like 'Hit the Road' and 'Featured Item'. Make the bg closer to the NG colours, then lighten it up. Don't use blue or red text - just black.
Those are my niggles, but the main 'meat' is solid.\
I love the fact that you linked to the google page - that's something I might not have found out otherwise.
RohantheBarbarian responds:
Maybe I wasn't clear enough. You lose more points from a cleared flag than you gain from a deleted one.
The music has a 3-4 second delay before it starts, are you sure it wouldn't restart?
I will improve the visuals in the future.
Thanks for a great review!
