As I explained in another news post the reason why groups like this are now illegal is because of what happened with the very first thread to help combat abuse reviews. When the Thread rages's gift to you abuse reviews was spawned in 2003 the whistle system was introduced recently. Back then the original whistle system had a sliding scale where the top user would have deity and the others below would have the gold (if they had 2.00 whistle power) or any of the other lower whistles.

Because of this sliding scale the people who were really competitive raised the bar so high to the point where people didn't even try to go and get gold or deity (Because let's face it most users only wanted the whistle to make their profile look good) Also back then it was also wade removing the abusive reviews and not the review mods (This didn't come until later on) However, some time in 2006 the whistle system was changed to the one we have now. (Where all the whistle levels were fixed) While this did wonders for helping get rid of the abuse reviews (since everyone could get gold and Deity since it was now within grasp.) it also caught the attention of the whistle whores who only cared about the whistle level and not doing the right thing.

Eventually because of these individuals who would flag without reading the review or looking at when the links was posted, they gave review mods and the NG admins extra work (since they were clearing more flags then removing reviews) and as a result many users gained garbage whistles. As a result these users began complaining and when the mods answered them, you would think they would listen, but no they went right back to doing the same thing until the mods and Admins said enough is enough, and shut down the thread. While doing this the NG staff and review mods also said not to recreate this thread in any shape or form. (which is what you must have just found out not too long ago.)

As for how I know this information? Back in the old days I was the one of the biggest whistle whores back then, so big that I was actually the last person to beat the old whistle system. I just wish that the users actually read the reviews like they seem to have done in your old remake and when I was going for deity >_<
