A new firmware is in the process of being sent to G1's, and the new version of Marketplace has a mark as spam feature for application comments.

I think we should have the option to block users. I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. There are a LOT of comments for my apps that have n0othing at all to do with the application, a lot of these contain racial slurs and downright dirty language that I do not want to be associated with myself, my apps, or my brand.

I think that would be workable. A button for anyone to report spam for review would be expensive, but would work as well. Easiest would be that you, the owner of the app, can delete comments. That would kind of defeat the purpose of sincere communcation and would essentially make the comments your ad. I absolutely disagree that you should be able to block certain users from getting your app, however stupid they are. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I think some cool additions to the market would be to be able to rate a comment with a thumbs up or down... then from there, show the top ten rated comments or what not.. no need to show all 1000 of them.

[android-developers] Re: I am getting SICK of 1 star ratings for charging!
I fully agree! Don't know what Google were thinking, but the current download and review model pushed me away from Android and back to BlackBerry and iPhone, where we have better control over quality and - at the very least - a chance to defend against both stupidity and purposeful attacks against our brand and products. In the curent Android Marketplace you're not just on your own, you're without any control whatsoever. The ability to charge for applications will be one small way to change that, but it's not going to be a big thing by itself. I hope someone from the Android team reads that and doesn't ignore it on the basis of it being non-technical. They'd just repeat the mistake they did back at Palm. We *are* technical. You're just preventing us from showing it on your platform. - bobby On Feb 3, 8:51 am, gsmd wrote: > The whole non-moderated comment system is broken from the start.

The whole non-moderated comment system is broken from the start. I don't want spam on MY app's page! Wish they added an option to disable comments alltogether. Besides that, not being able to charge for app through Android Market makes it just a free (ugly!) showroom for demo versions. On Feb 2, 11:48 pm, Beshoy wrote: > Come on.
