Rantings and Games, or Spam?

I find it interesting how people just think of Ratings and Games as spam. Personally I see most of it as spam, sometimes mildly inetertaing, but mostly spam.
Something needs to be done to make it less ... um ... spamish? I don't like the idea of the Com Mods rolling in there with Giant Hammers 'O Doom, and warning everyone, but something needs to happen.
I'm thinking something more along the lines, of new topics have to be approved first. This way you don't get topics, that are spam.

Topic I see a spam right now:

If I am not mistaken, R&G does not increase post count, right?

Hence the belief that the place is for spam..

I agree with Das, stricter action should be taken...

I think the section is basically going to gather SPAM no matter what you do. It's Rating And Games.. We all know that it is not going to be SPAM Free.

I do, however agree that it could be stricter..

But, sometimes when I am bord it's nice just to head over there and just amuse myself by either reading or joining in. It's a fun, layed back section where you can just "chill".

Becoming stricter could be good.. But not too strict.. You don't want to make people feel awkward before they post because they might get in trouble. ;)

i do beleive the whole point of ratings and games was so members could just go in there and be silly thats why it has its own section without a post count. most of them are spam games and that was the point of r&g

That may be its original intention, but its a shame real games can't be instituted.
