Suggestion: Implement a Submission Cap to Mitigate Spamming

It appears that certain users are exploiting the allowance for AI-generated content by posting an excessive number of similar, if not identical, backgrounds in the 'Assets' category. This behavior monopolizes the visibility on the most recent page, diminishing the diversity and overall quality of content accessible to other users.

While I appreciate the site's openness to AI-generated content, I believe some form of moderation is needed to maintain a balanced and varied content ecosystem. I propose implementing a stringent limit on the number of submissions one user can make within a given time frame. This would encourage contributors to thoughtfully collate their content into larger, more diverse packs rather than inundating the platform with a myriad of standalone items.

By introducing a submission cap, we'd be fostering a culture of quality over quantity. This would mean, for example, that users couldn't simply submit one or two backgrounds at a time; instead, they would have to compile them into a comprehensive background pack. This not only provides users with a wider variety of content in one submission but also declutters the Recent Assets page, making for a more enjoyable browsing experience.

With the current spamming trend, there's a potential risk that our platform could become saturated with repetitive AI-generated backgrounds, thereby hindering the exposure of other unique, creative submissions. Let's preserve the rich diversity that has always been our platform's strength.

I implore the platform administrators and our community at large to take this concern into consideration. Let's work together to ensure that our forum remains a vibrant, varied, and spam-free environment. Thank you for your attention and for your shared dedication to maintaining the quality of our community.

It’s unlikely we have an automated limit, we take moderation actions on a per-account basis in most circumstances. I recommend that you report games & pages that you think are breaking our quality guidelines or degrade the experience on the platform. That will enable someone form our team to review the pages you’ve spotted and see if there’s any moderation action necessary.

I currently don’t see any reports created from your account.

Thanks

I'll be honest, I don't think its an issue worth reporting someone over so i didn't make a report.

However as you probably need a reference, I made the report R-57841

Let me be clear: my aim is not to instigate punitive action against the creator in question. I genuinely value the contributions of all creators to our platform and have no desire to see them penalized for their content production.

The main focus of my report is not the content itself, but rather the frequency and repetition with which asset packs with identical names and themes are being posted. My concern is that such practices could inadvertently lead to a less diverse and engaging browsing experience for users on our platform, especially on the 'Most Recent' page.
