I just had a great way to reduce spam on the site! Since there are a ton of users spamming on the developer profiles (ArmorGames, CrazyMonkey, etc etc), which are on the website for the sole purpose of submitting games, spam could be reduced greatly if developers had "locked" profiles which could not be commented on. This would prevent hundreds of spam posts from being made on the developer's profiles.
From a neutral point of view, i like this idea if it gives everyone the same power. I dont entirely see why someone unknown (like myself) would want to use that power, but just incase i need it, it is there.
I say this because sometime's developers want to post or comment other poeples game and it won't be fair to lock there profile. Yes alot of people do spam there profiles but that why we have MODS. If you lock all the developers profile they (myself to) might leave because thats not fair why lock our profiles for somthing a spammers does. This will just hurt the site, not help it. You have to veiw this from both point of veiws not just yours. I highly disagree with this topic. Instead you should lock spammers profile not us.
The mods are already overworked, and I don't think you get the gist of my idea. I'm not saying to lock everybody's profiles. My idea is that there should be a special developer profile, which users cannot post on. This would help to decrease spam due to the fact that there are hundreds of spam posts on devs' profiles. When I say "locked profile" I mean a profile that cannot be posted on, not a profile that cannot post.
Well I agree with this only if it has the feature for developers to choose whether they want it lock or not because that way it would be fair. The only ones that I think should be locked are the ones that are never going to talk back at you because they are just gaming sites( CrazyMonkey, Addicting Games, MiniClip).
Well if we get a choice to turn it off or not then yes, it seems I misunderstood what ubertuna said. My bad, great idea just as long as us developers get to choose to turn our profiles off or on.
I think that this should be an option that everyone can have, really. There is no need for a new type of profile, but if someone wishes not to be contacted, that would be good. A developer may wish to get feedback on their profile, or not, and that is their decision.
Great idea Tuna I like that idea.The just do it to get 2 AP.And megamickel is your idea people who you added can post on your page?But the other users can just look at your page?
