I really hope that sort of deliberate dishonesty carries a penalty, I really hate that kind of thing. I understand a mistake being made or wonky UI, but deliberately lying to 200+ people just to get your own game rated is disgusting.
'just to get your own game rated' It's not just that, they're using the gamejam for popularity. Say on average 5% of people care to check your itch page, more spam = more views = more possible followers, and it clearly works to some degree.
