Except expected boo removal and comment/review disable option, there also changes to dive in

Update is Live

Yes!!! Thank you media molecule! Finally the most useless feature in the game is being removed so my levels won't look like they suck just because some little child in another country didn't like that "Free Bird" does not in fact give you a FREE BIRD....


So I applaud you Mm for doing something that you should have done from the start. Having to rely on children to rate levels that are made by your older fans is freakin absurd and ridiculous!

Also finally.. a way to hide reviews completely in case you don't want feedback. Another feature that should have been there from start.



Now the question is, how do we avoid seeing those crappy cloned levels spamming the cool pages if we can't boo them?

Eh, not to be a party pooper but im not really looking forward to this. Removing boos isn't too bad, but they give you the option to remove reviews and comments too so its impossible to see any sort of negative feedback on a level? However, at least people will notice something fishy if all of this stuff is disabled(youtube is the perfect example), so I guess it cant be too bad.

not sure how I feel about this anti-boo thing... but everything else sounds good.

Heh.... got a good laugh out of that.

The REAL question is.... do we care anymore now that the spotlight is in the news section and StevenI is giving out a healthy dose of MM picks every week? Leave cool levels to the kiddies, I say. It can be their personal playground.

I think this sentence is key.

Also, if you look at the link, it says you can only disable comments via lbp.me. I'm sure that a lot of the likely "comment disablers" won't even know about that site.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that too. I think this was a good decision. This update shouldn't really cause any harm if people are just careful, so lets see how it works out.

Seems like they're leaning toward catering to the pointless H4H and copy people more than those who the game was actually meant for. I'd rather them disable copying levels than boos. the boos actually help. I see the boo/yay system as quick 'short-on-time' feedback, I've had a few people play something of mine, rate it, then come back like 2 days later and drop a review.

[Apple2012]

I'm not sure how pins would be affected with boos are removed.

[cmh95]

Heart to play ratio is where its at.

[craigmond]

Why remove boo-ing? It's critical response! A normal is either meaning "It's alright" or "I can't be bothered to boo it or yay it" I'm hating the option to remove comments too. A very bad update.

How about a feature we genuinely want? Like posting comments on an authors earth through LBP.me?

[Uncuddly]

Part of the trouble with boos has been that some folks use them to express a sad feeling rather than dislike of the level. You end up getting a boo and a heart from the same person.

That's not to mention the grouchy gadders that go around booing everything for spite's sake!

Yup.. I've always felt that. Leave the cool pages to the kiddies. I'll even chip in for the sand.

[EnochRoot]

I don't really know what I think of this. I'm against any form of censorship and the boos can represent honest feedback. Equally they can be abused and some levels have suffered as a result. I guess it's a matter of wait and see...fingers crossed it'll work out fine.

[GribbleGrunger]

mmmmmm... i'll refrain from reviewing people's levels i think. no point in putting any effort in if they can be removed... unless i just lie of course and tell them their level is wonderful. this is going to get abused, i can see it clearly.

'I noticed that this was your first level. It wasn't the best level i've played but this shows promise for future levels. it could do with a little more care with some of the aesthetics, but overall it was reasonably well crafted.'

DELETE!!!! *wafts face with limp hand*
