Upon permission from SuperMarioBrosS, http://supermariobross.newgrounds.com/
, I have decided to post a few of his guides to cleaning up Newgrounds, since the place can use a bit of it. He has other matters to attend to, and can't check his guides all the time, but I sure can! So, without any further time-wasting, here is Part 2 to his Guides. This post is a mix between part 1 and 2.

If you have any questions about if a review is abusive or not, then ask a question in this thread.

A review moderator will answer your question in the thread. Don't post an entire review there or else they won't answer and you will get a BBS ban (trust me, I did that once accidentally and got banned for 3 days) with your post deleted. Posting your deleted reviews there will allow you to receive feedback from the moderators so take full advantage of that thread but don't misuse it!

Now there are some criteria involved so here there are:

Criteria/Rules:
- It MUST BE a review; no flash submission or anything since flagging flash submissions normally result in lost whistle points
- It can be from a flash or audio submission
- You must provide the URL to the flash/audio submission that has the abusive review
- Give the FIRST LETTER of the person's username
- Before flagging it, use some common sense and make sure it violates the review guidelines
- Any attempt to try to get people a lower whistle/garbage will immediately qualify the deletion of the comment. Continuation will lead to a permanent user ban. Again, read the review and make sure it violates the guidelines.
- This is intended to help everybody earn a higher whistle status so contribute!
- If you have any doubt about any of my responses to comments, feel free to mention it in your comment
- Approval Process is in effect but don't worry about your comment being disapproved. Chances are that it will be approved as long as criteria & guidelines are followed. I implied the approval system because it's easier to check back to posts and see if anyone has commented.
- Follow guidelines so that users aren't confused
- Criteria/Rules may be enforced/edited anytime

Guidelines: (Fairly simple) It should look like this:

URL: (Inserts URL here)
Username(s): (Lists first letter of the user that wrote the abusive review)

*****or instead of username initials*****
Number of occurrences: (Lists the number)

It helps for the username initials since it's easier to find the suspected review but number of occurrences is also acceptable.

URL - This URL should link to the submission that have/has the abusive review(s)
Username(s) - This should list the first letter of the user name. If 2 or more abusive reviews are written by 2 users that have the same first letter, then include the first 2 letters.
Number of occurrences - The number of abusive reviews the submission has

*****OR you can link to a thread*****

URL: (List the URL of a forum thread that have links to flashes that have abusive reviews)

Criteria for this one: It cannot be a thread that is more than 2 months old

Following the listing guidelines and criteria should be pretty simple.

********NOTE*********
Links TO the Abusive Reviews are located in the next post.

Also, if you want an abusive review for YOUR submission to be deleted (when someone wrote an abusive review for your flash/audio), provide the URL(s) and make sure in the author's response that you write mentions something like 'This review sucks' or 'Thanks for the abusive review' (best one) or 'Thanks for the pointless review'. Doing that results in a higher chance of the review being deleted. It's a useful opinion and many people will flag it since reviews that offer no benefit to the author may be deleted.

I will delete comments if the abusive review(s) the person is referring to is deleted. If you mention 2 or more reviews in the same submissions, as long as 1 of the abusive reviews you have mentioned is still up, your comment will stay. I will delete comments so that users do not need to do unnecessary searching for the 'deleted' abusive review and the post is neater/cleaner.

Have fun! Also, try to spread the word especially to users who have a garbage whistle or those who want to upgrade their whistles. We can help each other out!

Word of advice: Look for abusive reviews in Turd of the Week, Underdog of the Week and/or Review Crew Pick. These 3 flashes that earn these awards normally have abusive reviews (especially Turd of the Week). If the Review Crew Pick flash is listed under 'Best of all Time' (aka the top 50) as well, then don't bother looking in there. Sometimes the staff will give Review Crew Pick to shitty animations so yeah, constantly check these 3 (more likely 2) spots for abusive reviews.

Here is a hint that will lead to a HUGE amount of abusive reviews: Submissions that have passed judgment with a score LOWER than 2. Go through the reviews and mark those that violate the guidelines as abusive (stay away from reviews rated 10; go for reviews rated 0 and/or 1).

Let's hope that we all can get a deity whistle!

*****Update*****

If you decide to join, you don't need to continuously throw in links. You may quit anytime although hopefully we can provide lots of benefit for this site and to your whistle! Even if you provide 1 link a month or just 1 link and nothing more, that provides benefit, one way or the other!

Also, I won't be available in NG all the time (most of the time I'll be) so don't start spitting comments about me not leaving links or responding to comments because they will ALL be disapproved and you may get a permanent user ban from posting here for leaving LOTS of stupid comments. The user ban probably won't happen, but if someone becomes a pain in the ass, then they will receive one. Complaints are only permitted if it has something to do with an abusive review or if someone left an abusive review(s) for your submission(s).

If you have any doubts with a review, post the review in your comment and I'll look at it. Also, be sure you use the link to a thread I have given. Ask a question in that thread and a review mod will answer.

It should look like this when posting reviews in your comment (so it's easy to read. It's similar to M-bot's format):

---Review---
Score: (Place score here)
Title: (Place review title here)
Review: (Place the body of the review here)

----Part 2-----

-----------Information Section-----------

For Part 1, go back to my previous post and read everything there or you will not understand this properly.

Here's the link: Cleaning Up the Site & Whistle Points

Also, if someone reports abusive reviews but you have a feeling that it isn't abusive, DO NOT FLAG IT! Follow your gut; flag what you believe is abusive. If you don't think it's abusive, don't flag. This was a problem in Rage's thread. So far, I've seen everyone dump BLATANTLY abusive reviews here (maybe a few borderline once in awhile) but still, if you don't think a review is abusive, DO NOT FLAG IT!

-----------Links Section-----------

Now for the links to the abusive reviews:

The number is the link and tells you the amount of abusive reviews. Below it is the review description to help you identify the review. If the count is higher than 10, then browse through it yourself and mark it. Click on the number to go to the submission/review page to find the abusive review. (Note that if it's redirected to a review page, it may have been knocked off of it and you may have to browse through the next page of reviews.)

Here is an outline into how to read the format of the links:

(Number of reviews goes here. Click on the number to go to the submission/review page.)
- Bullet list that gives a short description of each abusive review (Score of review goes here)

It's that simple to read it.
