Spamming of Games

So, I just went over to the Join A Game section to see about joining a game on Wednesdays and  what do I see on the first page after narrowing down my search to include mature content, speaking English, and being on a Wednesday? 10 copies of the same game by the name of "Curse of Strahd Wednesday" hosted by Illithid. I made sure I wasn't just imagining it or it was a problem with my computer so I refreshed a few times and even hit the "Find Games" button again. Nope, same 10 copies of the same game. Can we maybe make it so that you can't have multiple copies of a game you're running, at literally the exact same time and day, just to bump the visibility? That's kind of what the forums should be used for: helping bump visibility.

ya, the pay to play spam in Join a Game is terrible. I with Roll20 would just creat a seperate folder for the pay to play games. For example, Have a folder for Join Free Games and a Folder to join P2P games.

Did you use the "Only find games that are free to play" filter when you use the LFG search engine?

Pat, did you read anything of what I said or did you just notice that it was a pay-to-play game? I mean it's literally the same game posted 10 times on the first page. I don't have as much of a problem about pay to play games, but when it's literally the same game more than once on the first page or under different names then I think there should be a bit of control on spamming.

And the very best thing you can do in such a situation is to open up each game offering and use the Report function, explaining that they're duplicate games. 

Didn't know that was a reportable offense. Thanks, Gen.

Yes I did read your post. My post was a solution to your seeing the pay to play games (even the duplicates of the same game). If it is only the same game duplicates that bother you then Gen Kitty has offered a solution. If it is all pay to play games that bother you then my post is the solution. Please do not talk down to me as your post implies.

Pat, I'm gonna try to be as clear as possible so you don't misconstrue my tone here: my complaint was about the same game being posted 10 times and I made no mention of it being pay-to-play in my original post. The "pay-to-play" mention came from Scott. I appreciate your attempt to solve a problem I didn't mention...or care about. I thanked Gen for letting me know I could report duplicate games as I didn't know it was a reportable thing. The fact you're saying that your post was a solution to me seeing the pay to play games, which again I didn't mention at all in my original post, shows that you didn't read my original post and only skimmed it while filling in non-existent gaps with what Scott complained about: spam of pay-to-play games. Don't try to act like you're the victim of non-existent offenses when it's merely pointed out that you didn't offer a solution to a problem that was presented and instead threw in something that was only tangentially related.
