Hey , I know we had these talks and stuff but someone(s) create lots of game and there is no one to ban him or delete created games , so I guess we need someone with higher access and wint use this for his own advantage. Can someone email the devs?
It can be a really limited access but we need it anyhow

Within the last 3 days, I've seen it twice. Never happened before, but now this. "Suck duck" and "Vote for Trump" both suddenly exploded in the games list. I think you're right that we need to have some sort of control on that, but how we could do that remains to be seen. Try emailing the devs, and see if they'll do something about it I guess...

Idk, if the devs would trust players with that power. I think it's a good idea and I don't believe you guys would misuse it, but it's still a terrifyingly strong ability to put in the players hands.

The ability to cancel games. It is very powerful and yes I doubt the devs would handover the ability to us, by we never know. I'll email them if this gets greater support.
Side note: If we just ban his L1 account, no doubt this person will make more.

Once I get on my computer, and j could check his IP. I've never done that before so I'm not exactly sure how it works. I'll email the devs because it's annoying.

I know I have said this before, but I still do not understand why it is that the devs wouldn't want to let someone take over these type of duties - if they are unable or unwilling to do so themselves.

Especially since there are plenty of us around here that would be willing to do it for free.

Yes, but that is exactly what I mean. It clearly isn't the best system to have to "ask" them every time we need something done - and not be sure whether we will hear back or not. Last time it was cleaning up the forums; this time it is cleaning up created games by a troll. Neither of these things are complicated, but they are essential to making the game continue to run smoothly.

Why not just spend a few hours finding someone willing to do these things?
They could easily make a post, ask for applicants, determine who they think will be the best fit, and then not have to worry about day-to-day maintenance of the forums and/or game. Which is great, since they clearly do not want to do it.
