On your front page search - could you give the option to select multiple items?
For example with session length: If I want to see games that are 1 hour or longer, I can't, because I can only pick 1 option there.
I'd also like the option to exclude games that involve nudity, sex or drugs i.e. tick a box so that they don't appear for me.
About your first suggestion, right now you can select several tags at once, but I think other options are either/or. Can't say how feasible it is to change that.
As for your second suggestion, a better rating system is in the planning stages, but for now all you can do is go to your account settings and make sure the checkbox labeled "Show content marked as adult in search & browse" is unticked. You can find it in the lower half of that form, under "Content". I'm afraid that's all-or-nothing, but it's there. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply. I checked my settings and the block - show adult content - isn't ticked.
However, I was just browsing the new games this morning and came across 3 - one fully nude, 1 sex themed, 1 drug themed, so clearly those developers hadn't ticked the appropriate box themselves.
There needs to be a better system than relying on developers to tick a box - because that's not a reliable system.
Perhaps something like a keyword filter, if your game has keywords nude, drugs, sex in it that it automatically marks it as adult content.
Sorry about that, we try to retroactively go through projects to update tags where things aren't done correctly but that can take some time and stuff can slip by. Do you mind sharing links to any of the projects you saw that you didn't want to see? Labeling something as "adult" can also be subjective, for example if a game mentions drugs it's unlikely to be put under our adult filter. In the future we're probably going to be adding more granular content filters though. Thanks
I did report one with a fully nude figure this morning. I can no longer see it - I just browsed the new releases quickly but of course they've changed because I was looking about 11 hours ago.
I'm not happy seeing games that state "You're a drug dealer" or "find the drugs". I'd not be happy with a child seeing a game like that either.
There was also a game directly linking to adult content - even though the game on here wasn't pornographic - but I think if there's a direct link posted it should also be marked as adult content. There's no way I'd find it again, I don't remember the picture or the name, it was just a random game I clicked on this morning.
That's the problem with time-zones. Someone posts something and the moderators are only going to get to work 8 hours later - and in the meantime it's there for everyone to see. You need some kind of automatic filter if you want to keep the site family-friendly.
Subsequent to this post I've flagged a thumbnail of a naked person almost at a rate of 1 a day that was showing up for me. Today there are 3 - 2 are silhouettes in the new releases and I don't know if you're okay with those or not - but I'm tired of having to flag things because I have to first open the game and you don't have a tick box for it either.
My games are for all ages but are family-friendly and mostly would appeal to children / teens. This site is no longer child-friendly and I'm linking from my website to here and I can't redirect a child safely here because the chance of them seeing unwanted material is almost 100% now. Because when browsing your site almost 100% of the time, despite my settings, I see material I don't want to see.
If this keeps up you will lose your legitimate users and become only a porn site - because we don't co-exist happily together. You're going to have to pick one or the other or build a wall between them or hire more 'police' to monitor what is being posted. I really don't know what to do - eventually I will have no choice but to remove my games because I need a child-friendly site.
