Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with rate4rate. We are only talking about people that abuse this mentality and how one should put them in their place. I strongly believe that a single massage from a mod calling them out would make them stop instantly and if not there is always the ban hammer looming overhead.

We like the illusion of justice to be kept.

On the change you're asking for: mods. What are they doing? To whomst one shall address a letter of electronic format concerning such regards? I don't want to press "report submission", since the game by itself is fine and this feature is there to protect others from viruses and inappropriate content. I don't want to press "report massage", since that would require going thru long timelines and would result in you getting investigated for trying to cancel a fellow creator. I would like a button like "spammer" or "report unsportsmanlike behavior" with a dedicated mod investigating. Currently I only see thedutchmagicarp doing stuff here (removing unplayable entries a day ago) and the others are probably on discord idk.

The only way to report spam is to click report post>spam. A sticky post from someone high up would probably do the job. Especially when you let people know that they can be flung out of the windows when behaving a certain way. Also are the same peoblems present on GMTK Jam? And if not, why do you think that is?

Well I didn't actually look too much into the GMTK jam, since I was sort of bummed about my own performance back then.

But a thing I can say for sure is that triple the number of raters helps for sure. More good eggs outweigh the bad apples.

Makes sense. I also think that the 48h dev period scares off the total n00bs. And this is a bit of speculation but the GMTK seems to have a little bit difference in the target audience. But that's a lot of conjecture.
