make an announcement about love and fav detectors

not many know it is not allowed to weaponize them. these quotes describe this suggestion really well

Okay, I see. I support. This is just people trying to farm loves and favorites so they can have more loves and favorites. ST needs to do something about this.

also most don't know about this rule. just look at the explore page.

I've seen way too many games like this, I very much think this should be added.

Just to avoid somebody making the point of “OH YOU JUST CAN REPORT THIS THING”. I would like to say that most don't know about this rule.

And that in fact was at the peak of FNAF. Given that many more FNAF and horror-type projects are being made, it's not entirely unreasonable to believe the OP's suggestion would not help.

I feel like this falls under the manipulating site statistics part of the ToU.

although most fnaf people won't read the announcement cause they can't access it easily

This is a problem I see in many projects (especially the “generic platformer” types) which I think should be more directly addressed. Not very many people seem to know it's not allowed.

also many don't know to report these projects.

They do know; use the Report button.
I thought you said “how to”
