People Misuse the Spark'd Challenge
People misuse the Spark'd challenge tag in the gallery. It is possible to report uploads in the gallery, but it feels like that function isn't supposed to be used for Spark'd challenge tag misuse. I ...

Now that we have a new Spark'd challenge I took a look at how good people are on following rules this time around.
My conclusion: It's a disaster. Only about 20% (I looked at the top 100 in each of the sorting-categories) of the stylist entries are following the rules. That's 1 out of 5 of the entries following the rules. It's so annoying that I can't just report them for not following the rules.
I want to upload an entry myself, but I just feel like no one will see it due to all the challenge-misuse entries taking over the place. It's also very annoying that if I want to look at, for example, 20 rule-following entries I have to also look at 80 challenge-misuse entries.
Yes it's happening again haven't looked today but when I had a look yesterday I just gave up.
@Rachelharris31 and @SqueamishNerd , it is likely a problem that is too hard to prevent. 😞😭 I was hoping for an improvement, but no such luck. 😩
- @PugLove888 Im guessing from what I'm seeing they're supposed to be putting Elders up for the challenge but instead they're putting houses or (from what I've seen) Young Adults or Adults. 😕 So I can see what you guys mean by people not following rules. 😐 Like earlier I saw a Young Adult on the Gallery (or maybe an Adult) that had a dog with him (I think the dog was light brown and one of the big dog breeds). The Sim I mentioned in the image on the Gallery was wearing yellowish gloves (if I remember correctly), too.
Don't know why I'm describing it but I guess I'm doing it in case anyone's seen it. 😆
Today I was called gatekeeper on Twitter because I asked the The Sims account if there was a way to report entries that aren’t following the Spark’d rules. 😂 Maybe this is how the challenge-misusing people see it: If they can’t participate without following the rules that must mean that they’re not allowed to be a part of the The Sims fandom/community. 🙃
@SqueamishNerd , I would think that the problem is so rampant that it would be a full time effort 😞 for you or someone else to report all of the illegitimate entries and then it would take just as long or longer for EA/Maxis to go through all the reports.🤨 But then again they have to go through all the entries anyway (unless they just go through the top voted ones 🤔 ) But I would expect these false entries to continue if there aren't any real repercussions to not following the rules. 🤔
