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.
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. 🤔
