I want to point out that there was a discussion of whistle blowing in NG Stickam Chat tonight, because apparently Duck Division or some other lame spam crew is back uploading shit to the NG portal.

I just want to make sure everyone gets my point that back in the day, say 10 or more months ago, I would see crews like DD and others continue to upload shit to the portal like MAD. I then saw they were basically uploading duplicates and they just continued to spam like mad, so I started using my whistle on the submissions they were uploading. As a result, my whistle turned into a garbage whistle. I had not been flagging any reviews as abusive prior to this, because I was not really fond of the feature until a few months later when I realized this feature could take my whistle out of it's then shit status.

Now, I only say this because it's for your own good, but if admins and mods really have said this, then I haven't read about it or anything. I was just telling all of you this for your own good, because having a garbage whistle really stinks and it took me a LONG time to get it back to a normal whistle.

By the way, you should also know I disappeared back in March and haven't really been around since then, until recently. So if there is a post by Wade or one of the NG Admins or Mods saying that flagging these spam submissions are fine, and they won't go negatively against your whistle status, then I have totally missed it, and once I read the post of them giving the OK, then I will adjust my logic accordingly.

Can I also ask that you guys not take the situation so seriously on my behalf? Just because I say "DON'T FLAG THESE SUBMISSIONS" doesn't mean I am in support of them. It is in fact the opposite. I just don't like seeing any collateral damage, ya know.

I am not on the spammer's side, never have been, never will. And frankly, it is pathetic that I should even have to pick a side in the first place. Why can't I just stay neutral about this without being criticized like crazy? Guess that's the way it goes.

And now, a little treat for all of you NG Stickam Users:
