Concern about some "Love and Favorite for ____" mechanics in games

goodone0

Hello all,
Recently I was playing the game (removed by moderator - please don't name names). What concerned me was how you could trade giving them loves and favorites for a 10 second delay on the time. This isn't the only game to do this, as some other platformers trade new skins for those as well. My question is, is this allowed?

NotK3ndricAlt

Generic Platformers mostly use that for farming loves and favourites. Report it for that reason.

No, love and favorite detectors for the purpose of offering any sort of in-game advantage are not allowed. Love and favorite detectors are only allowed if they don't affect the usability of the project (for example, saying “Thank you for loving!”).

Thanks for the information, guys. I have reported (and will continue to report) those projects.

If I’m being real honest, a lot of people don’t know about this rule, you should confront the game creator before reporting

I think you should report silently.
To the OP (original post/er):
Please don't name-and-shame; it can create gossip and stuff.

Please note that I may sometimes make a mistake and give wrong information.

Can you please put this at/near the top of your signature and tell people that tag spam isn't allowed and it manipulates the algorithm, to start a chain and spread the word? - Thanks, @EDawg2011.
