I think we should have a rate limit of 100 games rated by week. If you see the current leaders,they rate all game with no forum posts and few comments.Maybe this could stop them by cheating.
That won't change their behavior. It will just slow them down. Having posts and comments would not reflect the quality of the posts and comments, but quantity. They shouldn't spam the game ratings, but spam the game comments and forum posts so that they can balance their game ratings?
Sure it's unfair to rate all the games in a day or two, but it's much easier to spot than frivolous rating of games over a longer period of time. And the mods may take care of those who just up a lot of games in just a short period of time.
Hayze was the biggest one,one day and 980+ games rated! i think maybe 10-20 rates a day..thats it,and if they reach maximum for 10 days straight,theyre spammers.
And it is a reasonable suggestions, might work somewhat like the comment wait limit. But, if they can't get points in one way, they will just get it in another. So I don't know if it would really help with spam in the big picture.
It might help, but it's not a necessity. Spam will break through anyways so it wouldn't do the most good.
To completely contradict myself, I think it might work... but 100 per week... actually, thats fine .
(Note, I played online flash games waaayy before AG so I sometimes rate a game before playing it. And I'm sure there are more like me. Just showing an example of getting ratings quickly)
