Forums - Website Topics - Can we ban people that lie about their game collections?

It's annoying, but if that's your biggest worry at the moment is someone is lying about what games they own, consider yourself lucky.

I for myself added a few games (some aren't released yet) just to save time. Most of them will be ending in my collection anyway.
But this way I can get rid of non-banworthy troll comments at a much higher pace.

How did someone have the time to add 20,000 games? It takes so long just to add even just one game.

Well, I'm guilty of it. I use my games collection as a part 'wish list' and do add games I'm intent on purchasing even though they may not be out yet.

Some others do as well. A 'Wish List' section would solve that.

well just that person with over 20 000, it crashed my computer! And its a Mac...

 

So owning a Mac makes you think it is less likely to crash?  I am currently on the DS section of "her" game collection about 2 mins in and no sign of crashing although my crappy 2.67 ghz dual core , 1 gb ram is running a little slow now.



There are some games out in the torretz before the stores...

He(?) used a program to add EVERY game that was at that point of time in database automatically.

I don't see what the big deal is anyway. I really don't...but that's not something you can legitimately ban anyone for anyway. There's absolutely no way for you to tell me I don't own a game, even if I don't. You haven't been to my house or gone through my dresser drawer to find out what games I own.

The only way it makes sense is to ban (infamously unnamed VGC user)-type people who add every single game and cause problems with the site.

And that's even a stretch..I have to say I agree with (infamously unnamed VGC user)'s reason for doing it. But that's a story for another day.

Agreed.

It just ruins the credibility of the user profiles.

Suggestion. If someone claims to have more than a 1000 games, they should provide a mod a picture of said collection, on request. Also that would provide us with some pretty cool gaming collection pictures!

I dunno :/

 

In five years, I might have that much. Well when I finally get a steady job that is.. curently in University.
