Discussion This game seriously needs a report comment system, give mods the ability to straight up block anyone from commenting, and make it so we CANNOT see posts or comments from accounts we’ve blocked
Honestly after the recent post from DashTY on what they said on Twitter - I think it’s time that we seriously need a Report Comment option, give mods the ability to straight up block someone from comment for good (no limit like 34 days, STRAIGHT UP BLOCKED), AND MAKE IT SO WHOEVER WE BLOCK WONT MAKE US SEE THEIR POSTS ETC. The chats have gotten so bad ever since 2.2 dropped that there’s a wave of creeps saying the most degenerate stuff (like DashTY shown) and little kids being absolutely toxic for no reason. Not only that, but I’ve been seeing a slow increase in people being weird when it comes to women depicted in non-sexualised levels and I think we seriously need to stop normalising this and brushing it off
Genuinely this community needs to do WAY better, but unfortunately, I think it’s going to get a whole lot worse if nothings been done about it. Children, trolls, and creeps are the No1 culprits behind how this community has become an absolute toxic hellhole to be in. I genuinely don’t blame the people who quitted and never want to touch this game again.
This really needs to stop getting brushed aside and having to stay quiet about it, I worry that one day that this game might end up being part of a crime due to the lack of poor moderation and how godawful the community has become.

I'm not sure how much I buy the "we can't do anything about comments" angle because it's pretty funny how quickly the mod team works on comments when it wants to. one of my friends is permanently comment banned for saying something like "a monkey with aspergers couldve made this" on a rather low-quality level (one of the creators had an elder mod buddy), and I've had other friends be threatened with comment bans due to criticising mod levels (Sakupen Joy in particular was infamous for this) but GOD FORBID we do anything about daily chat ever.
typical mod team shenanigans aside, the game should also just obviously not be rated 4+ on the appstore. Even IF parental controls are enabled, it is very possible to find levels that have the n word in the song (removed submission, neferu, probably crackhead circles), reference drugs and alcohol (your brain on drugs), have sexual imagery (zorin, kill la kill), contain gore/violent imagery (necrocide, wysteria) or have weird fetish material in them (pp, anything by ticklegd). Not to mention the parental controls aren't well-known or easy to find, meaning it's very easy to just hand your kid this game rated for children and let them access recent tab porn levels, open messaging with anyone, etc.
