Both types are to be expected. The former types are likely to gain more interest, while for the latter such threads will either just get ignored (less likely), or members request more information (more likely, since it already happens to threads doing the bare minimum) about them leading to:
I maintain my stance that I think the projects forum should cater towards enabling project creators to express themselves freely and improve. I'm sorry but I cannot take your complaints seriously for as long as you're not someone affected by the implementation of what you suggest. Since it has previously been said that screenshots are often crossposted to discord (and perhaps the screenshot thread), I can't think of how more threads with perhaps less screenshots on average would absolutely ruin your precious viewing experience either. Not that it ought to be the point of the forum anyway.Cedur wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 10:24 amI used this as a generic name for many things that new members claimed with no evidence whatsoever, and they disappeared anyway, regardless whether their threads were locked or deleted, and they also disappear if other users make requests. I don't want to see any clutter of pointless threads; that's why the deletion was introduced some years ago, right?
As for me, I like to play levels which look interesting to play. If you make a level that has an interesting idea backing it and you had fun making it, chances are I'll check it out. These ideas can be something simple like "I wanted to see what I could do with paddlewheels in SMBX2" or "Birdo as a regular enemy can make for some fun platforming"! While a level without a central concept won't excite me as much, I won't grow to dislike it when playing it unless it actively bores me (for example, if it's very repetitive or unfair). Thought on the flipside without something that catches my attention I might not even play it.
