Boost begging flag

Any chance there can be an option for reporting begging for boosts or similar in the report section of the community tab?
Reporting as misinformation doesn’t seem to do much.

Yeah, so many people doing it. I will try and request the feature.
Thanks,

If the posts are spammy or automated then flag them as spam. It is not necessary or useful to add a “begging” flag.

Begging for boosts is ok (in terms of guidelines). engaging in what’s called “boost-for-boost” or some other point manipulation tactic is not.

Meaning here in the forums? I’m tired of the standard recipe on makersworld:

Take an existing model and change something tiny like to add 2mm to the cut the model already has. Make a flashy cover image and come up with some name instead of calling it what it is. Widget becomes Widgetastic v2 and in the description talk about models take time how your boosts keep you motivated.

There is no spam option in community flagging, it’s also not spam, it’s point manipulation to offer boosts for boosts/follows/downloads.

OK, so not begging then - just encouraging point manipulation

No, that’s just in the “Boost Me” block. The rest of it is chatgpt garbage :roll_eyes:
