Viewing post in Cheaters and fake raters

I just posted a new topic where I ask if people can help me reach 20 ratings (I needed 3 more).

Someone answered it and wrote in the comments that it is a "cool time killer". My game is a puzzle stealth game. I have no idea how it could be a "time killer" and chances are that he didn't even play the game, and didn't even read what the game is about. I was really afraid to make that post and I actually asked there for more detailed comments in order to avoid that it would become like that but people just don't read the thread.

It is just so disheartening.

Looked at the dude in question. Exactly what I need to test the algorithm. This is the type of comments I want to boink with my rubber hammer of justice.

I expect that it will take a couple more days until my API is fully operational, since I have never done one before. Plus I might need to get extra permission from itch.io and approval from the jam host.

Note though that some genuine rate for raters might post the same reply in multiple rate for rate threads and give actual feedback in the jam comments. I haven't really done many r4r this jam so I don't know how it is but it might be a problem.

I am not writing a full auto ban hammer. Just a tool for the mods to use to look in the right places. As far as I understand there is only thedutchmagikarp doing all moderation and support on this jam. And he dosen't even have proper moderation tools! Thats what I want to change (and also increase my qualifications, programming is pretty cool after all)

Oh, that makes sense. Really cool project! Thanks a lot for doing it. I will be happy to help if you need to find more examples to test it on or anything of this sort.
