Title: Bad games on Explore
Post by: Gizgord on March 09, 2019, 10:58:35 PM
alright, hear me out. I know that our community is in rough shape and we need more users, but people uploaded many... not quality ones. I'll say it, garbage levels.
you know the ones: levels with wrong tile placement, very short and easy levels, games with only one level, no title screens, game overs or completed game screens, levels you can't beat or even levels you can't START (eg. the one with discord on a thumbnail).
I reported a few of them and you should too if you didn't already. these aren't really helping anyone, they're just there to thrash the server.

Yeah. I do agree. Whenever I see the new game on explore notification, I hope to see something worth playing.

I agree with you about that amount of really bad games existing on Explore and I even previously complained about that case somewhere previously showing an example with a screenshot... I have a question, however, about the first post in this topic. May this be the reason also why IGP have gotten considerable attention only by CGM and Antikore? ??? Because my game didn't have any designed screens too for a very long time. :D

About the "Report" button I must say that I have never touched that. I don't think it was meant to be for reporting about really bad games but for reporting about violating any terms. I think TingThing should make a way to sort the content by the members that would affect reputation for the game publically so a game developer wouldn't be insulted by TingThing too much. :)

I think you're right about the report button. I finally got PB open recently, and found a flood of new games and levels.

I think even Mario Maker levels have more quality than these.
