Too much crap.

    Please disregard this post and instead go to:

    this idea, while supported by LockHeedMartin isn't gonna fix problems as well as I hoped.... follow that link! =) 


    It has been said many times by annoyed (sometimes relatively inactive) users. However, couldn't there be something done about effortless saves on tpt? If the goal of powder is to have fun and make fp, ignoring the problem of spam like saves is detrimental to other's experience. Perhaps a new system is called for.
    example of uselessness:
    our humble ideas:
    -A save is made PRIVATE: NOT DELETED if it gets less than -4 total votes
    -A save is made PRIVATE: NOT DELETED if it is marked as spam by a new button over 4 times
    -IMPORTANT: saves that make FP will be EXEMPT from these rules b/c people will just mark them as spam for lols
    Mods agreeing with a filter system:
    Devast8a
    LockheedMartin
    AN ALTERNATIVE IS BELOW

    The underlying problem is that mistake people don't open up poor saves enough to vote down because there are so many of them! I don't know man, people say TPT is doing fine but sometimes I think in my head how they are not the ones who open the game file itself as much they so as the forums on the website. I have only just recently made this account, you can tell by my saves, or the lack of them, and realize that I might not know a lot about gameplay, but some things just don't deserve to even be published. Its scary what people post, and still have the nerve to ask for votes and do wrong things all over their saves. I understand noobs spread their work thinking its good, but this is almost at a pinnacle of ridiculousness. I'm going to leave my opinions at that, I think I have said enough for my own desire to be heard by others, yet I don't believe I am well known enough yet for anyone else to take me seriously. The point still stands.

    I take you seriously - you seem like an official bastard, the kind that aways get me banned. :P
    @epicksl (View Post)
    I do agree with this but What R3APER said if a save looks like shit, people usually dont open it just to vote down, more of think it is crap and leave it. RAWRR >:D

    Silly you, there is already a voting system in place!

    @epicksl (View Post)
    Any save I don't like should instantly be decimated from existence. We should give that idea a try, I can guarantee you TPT will be whipped back into shape in no time at all. (Aka 1/3 of the saves on FP gone from existence.)

    I found dehumanizing my attitude works great in most instances of social interaction.

    Well guys, thanks for your EXTREMELY insightful comments xD kidding (altho r3apers was pretty good). what about a single button on the save's "title box" thingy (the one shown on the fp and by dates and stuff) that allows you to mark a save as spam/crap? then the mods will review saves that have lots of these spam markings.....or a bot could delete those with LOTS of spam marks

    That would be very useful. If save gets at least -2 vote, it is deleted forever.
