Typical rocrap
"People are spamming, let's remove comments"
"A few popular games per year have an inappropriate thumbnail, let's replace all auto-generated thumbnails and have users wait hours for an auto-generated thumbnail to be accepted"
"Exploiters are out of control, let's break InsertService"
"Scrubs are abusing mobile ads, let's remove them" <-- At least this was good, but they shouldn't have been added in the first place
"An 8 year old oder sent a message, that can be intepreted differently without context, to a 5 year old oder, let's worsen the filter and place hundreds of games under review"
"Our investors want more money, let's remove tix and add a price floor"
Let's look at some alternative solutions
1. Disable copy and pasting. This would just stop most of the kids, but it wouldn't work for bots
2. Must play a certain amount of time before commenting. This would stop bots.
3. Captcha. Anyone who suggests this needs to stay off the internet |
