Front page comments

    Once again, it seems that the front page has become a game of who can find the biggest flaw or make the most offencive comment/tag. I'm not going to write out the comments/taggs on the save right now, as that should be fairly self explanitory.

    See https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=15953

     

                     

     

    This I has become an increasing problem now days, with too many people succeeeding in pushing saves from the front page by ruining the tagg and comments section.

    What the front page needs, is another note of the day up top, which regualy says "Valgur comments will be removed" or even better "swearing will result in a ban" or something similar.

     

    Again, I don't want anyone banned for this. If anything this has become a good example save which allowed me to post this thread.

    I agree, these comments and tags increasingly becoming an issue. I've had a 75% increase in these bans for abusive tags, tag spamming, etc.

     

    What would be nice is if it requires some sort of captcha to add a tag or generally to vote. This would slow people from mass down voting or tag spamming.

    On this topic (slightly), please can a very knid moderator remove TPTROXREALLYITSTRUE (or what ever it is)'s comment on my Borg Ship and Enterprise save.



    (If you remove it you cna remove my comment telling him not to say shut up to me, is it will look odd.)

    Once again, thank you;
    Spock.


    Whoever did it, thank you.

    This post has now been resolved. What does anyone think of the save though?

    In the old tpt, there was a limit, you had to wait 30-60 seconds (no idea how much exactly) before commenting again. In tpt++, this is removed, so people can comment as much as they want. I think maybe the 30 second timer should be added back. Maybe Simon just forgot this part.

    For tags, having the limit would ruin the point of tagging your own saves, and probably not deter trolls from doing it. Maybe something else is needed, like instead of real banning, being able to ban people from tagging and/or commenting.

    Also, we need the ban message in game. People have no idea what they are being banned for if they can't see the reason. They might even thing bans are permanent, and without the reason, they won't learn the lesson. Occasionally the bans for tags come long after the tag, so even if they could see the reason it might not help unless the save id was given.

    Also yeah, just a notification like the others on the right edge, saying you're banned (click for details), with a ban time and reason, and some "strike" of offense if you want.
