Today I discovered that I got a diety. Because it has been a fashon for those who aquire these ranks to shout out a few pointers, I thought I would give it a shot!
Before you do anything:
Read the FAQ (go to the 'reviewing submissions). Make sure you are completely familiar with it, and before you start flagging reviews, try to have that open to make sure you arent mis-flagging.
Rage's Gift to You:
Without this thread, you're diety will be almost impossible to get. You will have to utilize this to your best ability and make it a religios activity to visit that this thredad every day. Make sure you go to the last page when viewing, because reviews get deleted quickly.
In this thread you will find links to abusive submissions, and abusive reviews. Note that not all of the reviews they show you will be abusive; its your job to decide what is or isnt. While you are using that thread to your own benifit - try to also help others by linking to reviews that YOU have found abusive.
Hunting:
If you want to go hunting for reviews yourself; best stick to the basics and not go searching for stuff. Scroll down the flash portal and find submissions that are lower than a 2 rating (hover your mouse over). The reason you want to find low scoring ones is because it will be most likely to see low scoring/abusive reviews. Once you find one, click on the 'view all reviews' and sort it by rating. You will find alot this way.
Another way is Google, with google scanning newgrounds, it is easy to utilize this search engine. Simply type in google something like 'Newgrounds review blam', you will find reviews that consist of 'Blam this'.
Flagging Submissions:
When you are at a lower whistle status, its best to stay away from flagging submissions because they can dig you into quite a hole. This is because unlike flagging a review, it will -5 from you if you flag it incorrectly; and if that is your 4th one youve ever flagged, you are already garbage.
If you are familiar with the review system, you can easily find out what is stolen/abusive on the submissions, and be sure to ABSOLUTELY know if it is abusing the guidlines before you report, because it will take 5 more abusive reviews to dig you back out.
Thats just my simple pointer guide... Not like it all hasnt been said before though!
