Tip for template store reports

Hello everyone
In order to maintain a more functional template store without duplicate macros, trivial macros etc.

when they report a macro in the template store, they are clearer in the reason why they are reporting, for example in the exact copies, if it is possible to add the ID or URL it would make it possible for us to speed up the cleaning of the store by being able to validate the reports more effective.

Hi Template Moderators,

I've posted a message in the Japanese Forum to notify Japanese people of the template maintenance.

I've asked to try to write in English on the report; however, someone may report in Japanese and if you need to know the details more exactly, let me know. I believe I could help you with the translation.

(I will try my best, but if I can't give you a quick response, I'm sorry about that.)😁

Thank you for keeping us up to date, I am aware of the large amount of garbage that is in the store but repeatedly I cannot eliminate them because they do not have accumulated reports
It is time to review the list of reports again in order to eliminate the absurd garbage of the store in collaboration with the user reports

How to find the list of reports?

We can delete the Macros following the criteria below in the Template Store.

The description is nonsense and just typing random texts.
It's obviously irresponsible behavior.

(See the screenshots)

Even if I look at the macro, I can never understand what the macro is used for.

That'd be good help to clean up the Template Store.

What do you think?

Oh.... thank you for your effort and hard work.
I wonder if it's possible to just ban such a irresponsible user like a spammer?

I think we can do that.
We can talk to the developer to hear his opinion, can't we?

Otherwise, the number of such pointless template will never be decreased.

Yeah eventually I do but I didn't want to bother him on his vacation, I would also like to be able to leave a comment on why the template was removed

Sometimes they upload 10 macros, I delete 9 and in the last one I leave a comment that they document their macro so that it is understandable for other users or otherwise it will be deleted but it only won to be ignored

Even if it's possible they can just create another account.
From what happened with @bewafa it seems that the ban is not applied directly on the purchase itself (so the order id) or on the email address if pro was purchased outside of the play store. Maybe this would be more effective.

I wonder what would happen to pirate users however.
From my experience when using a pirated copy and submitting a bug report the order id is "Purchase Info Unknown" - although this is from a bug report created at Jul 24, 2021 at 8:06 PM. So if there was verification then that may help against that (it was confirmed that it's possible to upload with pirated versions because again @bewafa was able to).

Yes, you are right.
I mean "not right now".
We can wait for him coming back from his vacation.
This confused me a bit in this thread it says until the 8th of August :


And yet when I reported a bug, it said until the 24th ?
Did I miss something ?

@MacroDroidDev
If you have time and if you have a look at my posting above, that'd be great.

Without any exceptions, can we set a rule to delete the macros uploaded by irresponsible users (trollish uploads)?

That would help to decrease junk macros.
