Rating System?

The problem is, i've seen many projects with comments like "great, but too violent."  Usually, people make the descision not to flag projects like these BECAUSE THEY'RE ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD.  If a mature user sees a well-programmed project like this, they aren't going to care if it shows blood.  As a result, they won't flag it.
I'm having trouble thinking of a solution.  Maybe when the creator posts it, they could have an option to put a warning before the project (like on YouTube.)  Maybe there could be some sort of rating system.  Maybe we could hire a magic badger to rid the world of violent projects.  Other than that, I have no clue.  hmm

Re: Rating System?

Been discussed before, not gonna happen.

Little kids don't look at warnings.  tongue

Besides, often blood could have been avoided, they don't need it to be a good game.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: Rating System?

I am still going to put warnings like: Rated 10+ for gun fighting or something. It is at least worth a try.  big_smile  People can at least make sure they have nothing rated M. I don't mind it but this is still for all ages.
