I've thought about a lot of the points here, and just add my views:(posted 9596 days ago)1) I really don't see the point of uploading scores that only get 1 point or so. They're certainly not going to be downloaded by anyone, and are obviously only there for the leaderboard points; is it worth it? I'd agree with a minimum of 5 points, or maybe even 10.
2) Delete all games that max out - Domino, Bowling etc... Or give everyone max points on all of them. I'm as guilty as many of grabbing the 100 points on a few of these.
3) Games like Pacman, Galaga etc - there's obviously an element of skill somewhere here, as following the patterns requires some skill. Surely these are worthy for people to download, to see how the patterns work for example? Also, if someone plays the game for that long like Galaga for 20,000,000+ then they deserve the leaderboard points. And I too would be proud to get 1% of that, and not care about the 1 point :)
4) Clones - keep the clones. Most of them are different enough to be classed as different games. For example, here in the UK I never saw Donkey Kong - only Crazy Kong (mainly the Scramble h/w bootleg version).
5) I think there's a point to keep more than just the 3 top scores as well - some of the 4th placed scores are quite close to the top, and losing 50+ points when you get a 3rd placed score beaten might be a bit painful.
6) Stop letting people get an email for ALL submissions - they are too lonely and need to go out more.
That's it for now - I'm sure I'll think of more.
