When reporting an inappropriate build in JustBuild, most people tend to forget or donât vote as they are trying to report it.
If you didnât know, not voting the build actually gives a âGoodâ rating. This is to a workaround for the âMeh spammersâ. But this causes for the inappropriate build to win! This needs to change as it is disgusting and unfair for other players.
This will stop for the bad apples to win, and promote their build in the podiums.
Iâm really passionate for this topic as I do think builds of NSFW content should not be seen by literal children who should NOT be seeing these kind of content. This is just one way to help avoid this problem.

TL;DR
People forget to vote which makes the bad builds win.
Even I had some personal cases where I lost to inappropriate builds. This is a serious issue. If people have complained this much in the past 2 months inside the Discord, how many other players who dont speak in the Discord witnessed this?
Negating this problem is a must as it really is disgusting and vomit-inducing. You may have been desensitised but many children are not.
People can abuse anything but Hive has paid moderators to control these kind of behaviours. In the report section, the text says that any false reports will cause punishments. Saying something like âplayers can abuseâ is just not a good enough excuse. You donât need to say that reporting will âdownvote a buildâ just like how Hive doesnât say anything about how not voting gives a good rating.
Now only this, if you set the voting power to 0, it doesnât help your own builds if theyâre not better than someone elseâs.
Maybe you could also add that if you are reporting, when it skips to the next build then you should still be reporting. Sorry if you canât understand what I mean but to explain this better, letâs say you are in the middle of reporting a build. Then it skips to the next one and your not finished, so then you would have the option to resume your report and I know you could use /recentreplays for this but this would make it easier I think.
I disagree. Players donât need to know it takes away a vote. And I guarantee the majority of you didnât know that not voting actually still gave a vote.
Like I said before, players can abuse anything. Anyone can simply install a hacked client but they most donât. Why? Because of Hiveâs moderation team. They are paid staff that are meant to stop these kind of behaviours. Not only this, there are warnings that any false reports will cause to punishments.
If youâre still worried about players abusing this feature, you can still keep your xp even if youâve been downvoted.
Itâs good to be back on this forum after a long while.
Iâll just be honest, this 1000%. Thereâs no reason to to think that âmehâ spammers actually care about fairness or the Hiveâs ability to moderate this issue, so this is just simply going to spiral into a âreportâ spamming issue if it now counts for 0 (or -1) points. And I think we all know we donât want that, especially as the team needs to constantly monitor these reports.
The Hiveâs voting system is similar to a lot of build battle style games, but Iâm sure that you are all aware that itâs flawed. I mean, youâre literally allowing your opponents to determine whether you win or not. Thatâs why âmehâ spammers exist, after all. So what Iâll say is that reporting a build canât count for fewer points than the lowest rating you can give. Otherwise, thatâs just whatâs gonna be spammed instead. And trust me, people will quickly learn even if you try to implement this secretly. I do agree however, that reporting a build shouldnât default to a âgoodâ rating. People forget to vote on reportable builds and giving a âgoodâ rating, even by mistake, should be fixed.
TL;DR: Donât give âmehâ spammers more power.
Thatâs a fairly reasonable compromise. With this change, reporting only gives a vote of 1. This is equal to voting a âMehâ and is impossible to further abuse the already flawed voting system.
I donât mind this change at all as it still achieves the same goal that my original post was aiming for.
As I know, meh rating gives 0.5 xp, so its still beneficial to just rate it with meh. But I strongly support this idea as I HATE INAPPROPRIATE BUILDINGS BE 1ST, while great buildings get lower places .
