Better moderation on store pages #76

Open PixelNinja132 opened 4 years ago

PixelNinja132 commented 4 years ago

In recent days, I have seen a massive increase in troll store pages, scams, and spam. This needs to stop.

We need to put in better methods to prevent things like this, by blocking the work "Discord" In the store page or app name, I have seen a store page for "Discord Server boosts" and "Discord Nitro". I am not suggesting we block "Nitro" from store page names, because some games genuinely have that in their name.

Setting the date of release to 6969 is an obvious red flag, which should immediately flag up to support, or delete the license which can be subject to appeal if they have a game that they intend on selling.

Another idea is that discord.gg links should be limited in a store page, some developers need them while waiting for "Verified server" widgets, but, this should make the widget only available for verified apps.

Swear words should not be used. Period. There should be a filter added, which should not be hard.

Any store violating this should immediately be deleted and the user banned from getting another license.

The publisher "me" is not suitable and should not allow it to be entered.

Gift codes should not be allowed to be generated for unverified apps, they are an easy way to flush the discord.gift system, making hundreds of millions without limits.

Store pages should have a report button on them until this is fixed.

Here are some of the things I have reported today:

Mason, enjoy your holiday, but please sort when back

No scams can be done because games need approval anyway to actually be sold. If a game was a scam, then it definitely would not be approved. An unapproved store page will just say "Unavailable" and does not hurt anybody. Implementing limits like the ones suggested does not have a benefit and is not worth it.

That is a very good suggestion, also it's not just about buying. It's about the whole Store System getting used for things it is not made for (e.g. Trolls, Scams, or just straight up non-games).

Reporting those should result in a removal of the License and a (temp)ban for new licenses on that account or straight-up account bans.

Creating 100s of millions off gift codes is possible, it would cause problems. Just because it's unavailable does not mean it can't be used for advertising. Having a swear filter is necessary, even an nsfw filter. if someone clicks on a gift, thinking it's a legit game, then gets a carousel of nsfw images, they could get in trouble

After speaking to one of the owners of these pages, they have generated many hundreds of thousands of codes

This could happen for any link; there's nothing special about this for store pages. As I said earlier, IMO adding limits for this isn't worth it, but ultimately it's up to staff to decide. I think it's a bad idea to punish people for making harmless joke pages, though.

It's the link Discord can control. It breaks tos and the dev agreement for joke pages
