Anonymous user abusing review system with alts to get Whistle Points [Part #2]

Posted by Psychopath - December 19th, 2015


Attention everyone! To those of you who are not up to speed on the situation, please read this post. If you want to be alerted to news on the situation, follow me on Newgrounds to stay updated.

In spite of the activity of this anonymous user being so loud, open & pronounced, I have received word that yes, he is in fact using proxies:

"Here's another one. I wonder who's doing this.

Launcher | 51 abusive reviews." ~Psychopath

"Set him to delete a minute ago too... Same guy. He uses a bunch of different IPs though." ~TomFulp

So far, we've uncovered thirteen different accounts from this individual. They've used three of them just today alone & we have no expectations of the the activity dropping any time in the near future.

The only change in behavior we've noticed in the past few days is that the user has mostly shifted away from abusing movies & has shifted over to abusing games, as mentioned by ChaingunSnake. Based on this pattern, it's entirely possible that they'll move to abusing audio & follow up with art reviews after that. Up until the point, this anonymous abuser has not, in fact, left any reviews on any audio or art submissions.

Big thanks to @ChaingunSnake who uncovered the accounts SabinMaster, JohnnyJimboBob, Revodead & Vincentzo. For your convenience, we'll repost the score board from the previous post here.

This is a list of deleted or otherwise cleaned accounts:

Razormaster

Weaponxzerox

BrassKnucklez

FullMetalDestroyer | 40 abusive reviews

DoctorReaper

JohnnyFivePunch | 67 abusive reviews

Korrupter | 23 abusive reviews

DeathChanter | 28 abusive reviews [movies]

SawedOffKiller | 7 abusive reviews [movies]

Launcher | 51 abusive reviews [movies]

SabinMaster | 22 abusive reviews [games]

JohnnyJimboBob | 27 abusive reviews [9 movies & 18 games]

RevoDead | 47 abusive reviews [games]


Vincentzo | 9 abusive reviews [games]

TriggerPuller | 38 abusive reviews [games]

Mantrex | 62 abusive reviews [games]

OutlawSlayerk | 45 abusive reviews [games]

HeavySmoker | 69 abusive reviews [?]

Here's a list of current accounts that still have abusive reviews:

 

@7darkriders @retroarcademonkey @thepsychosheep I see that you guys are online right now & have garbage whistles & I figured that getting some whistle points from RevoDead might interest you.

In other news, the rapid succession in which this anonymous user has been spamming negative reviews has allowed us to tally how many whistle points it takes to get to certain levels. we may have some information regarding whistles that may interest you:

To get to Bronze, you need 50 whistle points

From Bronze to Silver, you need whistle 250 points

To get to Gold from Silver, you need 500 whistle points.

We don't know how many it takes to get to Deity but we suspect it's a thousand. This would mean that you would have to mark 18,000 reviews for abuse in total to get from the default Normal whistle to Deity.

Bonus round!

Hey dude,congrats on the gold whistle..I've got the silver today.
Also thanks again for another bonus round.

And just a thing...keep an eye out on the game portal or whatever it's called because it seems that the piece of shit has moved over there to leave abusive reviews.

Thanks man! I'll keep an eye out & I'll be sure to put that information in my post.

Hmmm,I flagged the RevoDead reviews + the bonus round so how many would I need to reach gold now?

I don't know, have you been keeping track?

Actually, let me see if I can't find out what the score is on those now deleted accounts.

Nope. Nothing in either Google cache or the Wayback Machine.

Alright do it and tell me what it is.

Tried, no info. His reviews came & went so fast that Google couldn't cache any of them in time.

It took me about a week to get from bronze to silver..I'm gonna guess gold is gonna be slower.
Also,am I hallucinating? I can't find the PTSquirrel review in the bonus round.

There's one left but damn, those first two went like hot cakes. They must have been marked up for a long time.

By the way, I removed Rai from the list; even though he's screaming bloody murder at the author, his review predates 2006 which means it was written before the whistle system came into place, which means it's not considered accountable.

Nope,they're all gone but damn that was fast.
And Jesus,18,000 reviews for deity?
I could've sworn there was a review mod that counted how much it needed and it was like this:
Bronze:50
Silver:100
Gold:150
Deity:200-250

Well it took me all 320+ of those reviews to get from Silver to Gold & I've been at SIlver since 2013. If someone said that, they're lying.

You got featured, kid. Good prize!

Come again?

On the Alex kills Xiao Xiao movie.
There is actually an abusive review on the second page by Blam-boy.

Good eye.

Lol,you need glasses..there is a couple on the third page too.

Don't mark those ones, they're from 2004.

Your post is on the bar thing with featured content... what do you call it, the ticker? Haha no. You probably knew that anyway.

Can you post a link?

Phew,good thing I didn't.
Why not though? there is an asshole calling the author a moron.

They're from 2004. Their reviews predate the whistle system and don't aren't considered accountable because of it. Anything 2006 and over is all good though.

The link is the main page.... I'd post a picture, but I don't think I can.

Post it in your blog & I'll look at it. I don't see myself anywhere on the front page.

If am not mistaken,the whistle system was introduced in 2002 http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/38138

Huh, I once read a post from a mod that no review from pre-2005 would ever get removed. Good to know.

So do we flag them?

Go ahead, they should get removed since the whistle system was from 2002 but if they revert back after you mark them, I don't recommend trying again.

Also just something,the guy had more then 13 accounts.
There was also this one called Killer-Prover and I think there were other one's too but I forgot their names.

Do you mean this Killer-Prover? http://killer-prover.newgrounds.com/

Yeah.

Also you are saying he might move into the art and audio section?
That would not be surprising considering each time we uncover his ass,he runs into another section.

Can't we just ban any accounts that submit a Abuse Review? It doesn't seem that hard to do.

That wouldn't stop this abuser; this person has a bunch of proxies that they're hiding behind. That's the sole reason they've been getting away with this. Only normal users would get hurt by this rule.

Wow, these reviews have been around for five hours? That's insanely long for our perp.

Massive thanks. Helped me and @ChaingunSnake get to silver!

You're welcome.
