THE FRONT PAGE

I have observed enough to know that the issues Creation are addressing do exist, but is not prevalent enough to place any sort of restriction on blog or game updates (even if it doesn't affect the majority).

There are already good ideas posted here that work better than restrictions. I have been advocating Drakonis and F-G's ideas for a while now, as it is common sense that a game only needs to appear once on any "Latest Update" list.

Pladough also has a good idea, which is why we have something like that in the plans for RMN4!

If I had to summarize the consensus here, it sounds as though most people oppose a hard-coded limitation, and those that support it acknowledge how few and far between these occurrences are, and would probably favor a system that puts quality blogs on the front page regardless of how frequent they are.

Would you want to open that for further discussion, Creation, or come to a conclusion on your initial ideas?

Bare in mind, I cannot see my monitor or what im typing very well please, but from what i can see and what I have read, here are my responses and ~personal~ thoughts and opinions:

Blogs:
If I am right, usually a blog is used to inform your followers (which I would love to be able to see a list of on my edit game page, btw) that there has been in a change in your game. Be it the status of your game, mention something you are going to be testing with it, some new thing being introduced to it, etc. You get my point...

If a waiting period is to be put on it, I really actually agree. But do keep in mind that if you post something, you need to as well be able to edit that post or change something said on it should you fo made a mistake or something. I personallty blog only over specific things (such as my game being placed on hold or asking my followers their opinion on a change, etc.) and I can totally agree to either a 12 hour waiting perod or a 24 hour waiting period, doesn't seem t obe outlandish at all. (You know, to prevent unnecessary blogs from being posted, you could put a restriction on the amount that must be in that blog as a minimum before it would be allowed to be posted. That would prevent that problem from happening completely... I'd say a minimum of maybe 100 words, anyone else?)

Game Update:
I really didn't understand what you meant by this... Just the Download option for your game or the whole game page? If you meant the download option, I would say if one must be placed on it, then something short. I personally have never up-loaded a download-able version to any of my games I have made, but I know if I did and I placed the wrong version out there, I would want it fixable before someone DL'ed it.

If your talking about the game page option, no. I do too much on that game's page at any given time to have some kind of restriction be placed on it; as do many other peopple. (Of couse, again, remember I'm not too clear on which one you mean.)

Kentona's #3:
I whole-heartedly agree to this with a little bit of agreement on Sol's part as well. You see, where I work, they go by the point of view that one idiot screws up, then it screws it up for everyone else accross the entire organization world wide. Only recently was it changed that if that one person screwed up it only affected that one person, but a warning would be placed out for everyone else ub the company explaining that any other people caught doing this would receive a just punishment or something along those lines. But you get what I'm getting to, I hope anyways. Some care needs to be placed in this area because a lot of people post an image, then upload another image or changes something on the gmae page a little bit later that brings their game right back up to the top of the list.

Anyways, those are just my opinions on these matters... Really, I like the site the way it is now myself, but if everyone else wants a change, i'm all for it as well. :)
