Warning: Don't leave negative comments in Mario Maker 2, you could get banned.

I've never even booed a level let alone left a negative comment. There's no need. Just move on. I've put some constructive criticism in there before but even then I'm nice about it. Comments suck anyway the character limit is too small you can't give enough feedback with that limit. Plus they removed the screenshot attatched to your comment feature from Mario Maker 1 which is honestly my biggest step back from the first game.
Are boo buttons feedback for users though? I thought that was just curation stuff.
It's for curation I believe but that distinction is never really made clear to the user. It's not really a meaningful distinction regardless, it's still saying "Hey, be negative about this level."
Looks like the eramods getting some extra money for doing the same job for Nintendo and ban people for harmless things.
Yet there is no report button on comments unlike Splatoon 2. This is something they should've learned from that team. I wouldn't report calling levels bad but there is now pornography in some of the comments.
Nice.
Nice Work.
I am done for.
The solution is to have an option to label a level as a child's creation.
But what if the level was made by a mentally ill or disabled person? There needs to be a way where we can criticize lazy people who upload bad levels without hurting kids and vulnerable people.

Reminder that the community "guidelines" MS, Sony, Steam, Epic and Nintendo make you agree to when making an account allow them to ban you for any or no reason at all, with no warning or remediation.
The only thing that could hold them back is the Negative press they get for doing so, and the downside that a banned user no longer spends money in their ecosystem.

The comments section of Mario Maker isn't exactly a grand avenue for proper constructive criticism.
good on nintendo. saying something is "bad" doesn't accomplish anything that the "boo" button doesn't. If you want to write something, make it constructive and helpful.
if you just want to call stuff trash and bad and offer hot takes you can do that on era or other forums

Because they're fun and good for the most part! Most of the comments I've gotten on my levels have been from people leaving nice drawings or feedback.

And I'd get them deleting the comment or even restricting their commenting abilities in Mario Maker 2, but to threaten with a ban of their whole account? That's beyond stupid.
Sounds like the dream of people who can't deal with toxicity online to me. Personally, I rather deal with it myself.
if he doesn't want to be banned he can just refrain from leaving negative comments? is someone forcing him to leave them?
It's to get their attention. You have to take away something of value. Once you're proven to be a "bad actor" in one game the likelihood you are the same in other games is generally higher. Their messaging is we won't tolerate this on our platform not just this game.
They also have other data to go off. I'm sure they can see account history in other games as well.
It's just a risk mitigation strategy at that point, not to mention it's easier to massively restrict an account vs on a per game basis.

Dude literally just left a comment saying "pretty bad". Not even PSN is this anal about mean comments.
the user has a very easy solution here : not posting negative comments. What's the issue here ?

You're completely right about that, and I get Nintendo's position here. Threatening with a ban of your full acount because of a comment that says "pretty bad" is still funny.
calling people bad isn't what comments are for on nintendo's service. there's absolutely no need for it. be constructive or just boo and move on. it's mario. hope he does get his account banned.
there's literally no purpose whatsoever to reaching outside of the "boo" button to go the extra mile to verbally call something bad. it accomplishes absolutely nothing and doesn't belong on that service. If you are so negative and angry as a person that you feel harmed by not being able to tell someone their creation is bad, I hope you do get banned
"pretty bad" = "psychologically assaulting other users".
Psychological assault?? How do these people exist in this world? If this be the case, don't allow comments at all, because unless you're singing flowers and sunshine, you're gone. This is laughable.

In a way, I kinda agree that streamers or YouTube shouldn't post negative comments because all their fans will do the same which is pretty shitty to the creator. But if me a nobody joked after a kaizo block troll death "delete this level", that would be petty.
Context matters here as well, as a lot of level creators purposely troll and it's part of the fun to dunk on them with stuff like "hot garbo" etc.

Yeah like I said in my previous post, it's overzealous but at least they're being pretty clear.
What I'll admit though is that Nintendo just need to publish a set of clear guidelines for the Mario Maker 2 community wheter you're a maker or a player. The way they delete levels without even giving a clear reason is frankly ridiculous. Furthermore they should implement better reporting tools as well as an appeal process if your map has been deleted unfairly.
It's pretty unnecessary. Good content will draw attention by the amount of positive votes, there's really no need to have that button.
I remember someone leaving a comment with a drawing of a pile of shit on my level, like, 30 seconds after uploading it. I reported it ( of course ), but damn, it got deleted fast ( about 5 minutes after reporting it )
Honestly you can easily spot the difference between a stage made by a kid and a stage made by an ass. Levels made by kids usually are pretty bad in terms of visuals, but they are also pretty easy, while lazy levels usually have hidden stars, soft locks, Bowsers in clown cars, offscreen Thwomps, and of course the pick-the-right-pipe-or-else-you-are-screwed game
I got a warning for tracking my progress while playing Super Metroid because I wanted to be the first one to get to the end(and I do believe I was not that it means anything at all lol), and all my posts that had boss's in them like Kraid, Ridley and Mother Brain all got targeted for spoilers. I actually emailed them back and said most of the things I had pictures of were things that appeared in the game manual so I didn't think some were spoilers except Mother Brain. It was stupid and that's one of the last times I ever used MiiVerse.
😂
Something so creative I'd need to have let lay. At least they put in some artistic effort, minimal it may have been.
It was actually quite detailed, there was even a little fly drawn near it
Of course, but on the other hand there are outricht bad troll levels as well. Not everyone is trying to design good levels.
Yeah like others says, many kids play mario maker and make they own levels so just give a boo if you don't like it and don't write anything that can demotivate kids more.
He shouldn't get a warning for that. Just delete it, make a note for future reports, and be done with it. Such a mild mannered comment doesn't justify being subject to a two strike system.
On another note, can you lock comments in Mario Maker through the Switch's parental controls? Seems like an oversight if you can't, if I were a parent I would probably want to make sure that none of my kids' levels had comments on. Considering how much Nintendo talks about their parental controls whenever lootboxes come up they should do a better job of making it fully featured

I've boo'd a ton of levels, the less people play some of those garbage creations the better. Sweet lord...
Yeah. What's the point of putting "bad level"? That's what the boo button is for.
Instead try to help him make something better next time. Or is that too much to ask for these snarky youtubers?
I mean, what's more childish than telling a child "bad level". What do you hope to accomplish?
This is where I'm at. Especially when levels like the one posted in the OP are typically made by small children.
I agree. Just think about if this is some little kid's level and he's getting a barrage of "you're level is bad" comments
exactly!
.
Yeah, i see nintendo's side on this. It's probably a level made by a child... what message are these reviews supposed to give a little kid? That they suck at this and shouldn't release levels?
If it's bad just ignore and move on... not everything needs to be critiqued
