So I’ve been noticing a lot of posts with images lately and I’m gonna be honest the itch.io moderators have as well
I know it’s a bit of a low priority compared to other things, but I have a suggestion
What if we updated the content creator quality guidelines(you know, that document that reads out some of the guidelines and stuff)
The “community” section in that says that if you want to share a project, use the release announcements, and not to advertise your project in other communities.
However, I did not notice anything in that document that states you must include images in posts. It only says to do so in the community rules when posting a topic.
With this in mind, I feel unclear communication regarding this is the main problem. I believe that clarifying this in the content creator quality guidelines document in the “community” section should help in regards to the community, because honestly, the moderators have a lot better stuff to do then warn people for posts with no images in mass.
This simple update with this clarification would take a lot of time of the moderators and admins loads in itch.io as a whole.
I know it’s probably a low priority compared to other things like I said, but I am proposing this suggestion because it seems like the smart thing to do considering imageless posts are turning up more and more, especially lately
If the admins at itch.io don’t implement this suggestion, then that’s fine, I’m just providing a suggestion that has no obligation of being included, but can be if wanted.
