it's not, but you have to understand that there are literal children playing this game. Going up to a little kid and saying their masterpiece is "pretty bad" is even more laughable
the easy solution is to not post negative comments and just boo like other posters said
They don't. Seeing as how these systems are set up, that's one of many many options and is just the nearest descriptor of the grievance. Doesn't mean it might have been a lighter offense than "psychological assault", or, if you read the text, it also describes it as potential harassment.
For everything else? Comment threads without people being mean, antagonistic or negative do exist you know.
Speaking of which, dunno why some kids dread going to school or need therapy later on in life.
Some people here don't realize how a kid could potentially have his day ruined because of this comment. It didn't even give him tips. If I had a comment like this on my level while being 8 I wouldn't touch my switch for a day
Maybe I'm lost here. I'm all for wanting to offer constructive criticism but how can you do that? Isn't there no way you can message the person to do that or even add them with a friend code? How are you supposed to be in contact with them? There must be a character limit on the comments, too. Drive by negative stuff is worthless, yes, but there's also no way I can think of on Switch where you could actually try to offer them some pointers.
So...why not disable comments for kids altogether? Why risk exposing them to any sort of negative or inappropriate content?
I understand removing shitty comments, but something as tame as 'level is mediocre' or 'level is bad' is silly.

I think you're missing my point. If you have user comments on anything user created you're probably going to have people leave critical comments. If you don't want to have children even potentially exposed to a critical comment why not disable comments for people under 18.
Like, hell, even if it were directed to an adult person, there's no reason to be this negative or antagonistic. You don't know who's on the receiving end of this.
It's just trolling.
If you're affording the ability to make commentary, you are also affording the ability to be offensive using it. Why offer such expression and mandate half of it unacceptable? The solution is simply to have an up button or nothing else, because frankly I don't see much of a distinction between booing something and stating pretty bad. Why are both not offensive?
One cannot see "boos" while comments are clear as day and public for view.
I agree with that, "boo" button shouldn't be there.
But I don't know if creators see the "boos" or is just a curating thing for the player.
What? Every service rules out certain speech, like this very website for instance. It doesn't follow at all that if you allow people to comment that you shouldn't decide what to allow or disallow.
yup, every negative comment is going to read like "wow this is awesome work for a 4 year old thumbs up!" and "The person who made this level must be very special"
I dont believe in positivity. If i dont like it, i will say i dont like it, and i dont feel the necessity to sugarcoat it
I'm curious why people see terse text criticism as potentially damaging for a young kid's ego, but getting the level boo'd to oblivion with no explanation is being discussed flippantly as if it is a harmless gesture.
Of course, but services usually make a note specifying what types of speech are allowed and what aren't. Is this clarified in Nintendo's ToU? I don't think many people would classify saying "pretty bad" as offensive, and it's not at all akin to racism, hate speech, etc. It strikes me as entirely vague and arbitrarily enforced the way Nintendo's doing it.
I'm sure all the 20-something speed runner kaizo masters will appreciate your candor.
Or you could be/probably are just being an unnecessary asshole to a kid.
User Banned (3 days): Hostility.
Right? I don't know what's funnier, people's incessant need to be an asshole online (in MM of all things) or their impression that the majority of people that play MM are in their 20's and lackluster levels should be nonexistent.
Everytime we have a Nintendo does something silly with its online features, we get the "think of the children" crew that come in to defend them, as if sony/ms havent already solved this problem years ago. Children are not a valid excuse for banning people over innocuous comments like the one in question.
Let alone Nintendo deleting their levels and not allowing it to be played at all in rotation until someone manually searches for it. The kid excuse is just a defense mechanism for Nintendo, that's it.
Hmmm if thats what you can take from me, thats okay too. Im fine with that
But that's jumping into conclusion. First, i dont even play the game so there is no proof to that. Second, negativity term is very broad, when i say i dont like that product, it is already a negative comment. Besides, are you forcing me to say "i like it" while i actually dont like it? To me, that doesnt sound like opnion, but more like dictatorship in term or consumerism
That is not a good thing. Don't say it like it's a good thing LOL.
You don't need to express your really important opinion every single time. The world can and will survive without your opinions. Sometimes, just let things go is the best thing to do. Specially at a environment full of kids and pre-teens.
Nintendo is very concervative when it comes to the way community related content works in their games and I can totally understand their point of view in this case.
You have the "boo" button, use it. What else do you wanna say about a kids level in a Mario game that you just can't hold yourself?
