GitHub game jam concerning

Is there gonna be any attempt at better moderation this year? Last year was a disaster. Looking at the #1 winner for GameOff 2023, it has 9 ratings and 4 of the accounts in the comments were made the day of submissions with 0 past history and clearly generic projects just to get an entry. They should detect bad entries/account and remove them and their reviews from the final results. I've seen other jams have a week period where they hide the results so they can sift through and remove the garbage before publishing the real results

100% agree.

Even if its just 24hrs to check the top 25 entries or so, it would go a long way to make the Jam fairer.

Thank you for the feedback and the suggestion. This year, I'm implementing a 48-hour review period after the deadline on Jan 8th to go through the top entries before announcing the winners on Jan 10th. 

Great to hear. Ideally all submissions would be reviewed, but I could understand at this scale/available moderators that may not be feasible. Hopefully this greatly discourages future cheaters
