Is it worth posting to say 'I have an idea' or 'I need someone to program for me'?
What makes a demo worth posting?
|
As Wings of Fire just said, I reckon that should generally be frowned upon. I know one site that locks any game thread that doesn't have proof (e.g. screenshots or a small demo) that the game is actually in production, maybe we could implement a similar policy?

How can you tell if a game is trustworthy?

Unfortunately this one is quite tricky, because although it'd probably be beyond the ability of most of the game designers here, even Game Maker can be used maliciously - Game Maker itself has a few things that can cause damage if used wrongly, and with extensions/DLL files it can potentally do anything.
So it's a tricky thing really, you can require screenshots and such, but that still doesn't mean anything - it could just as easily be a trojan horse. Maybe someone else will have some suggestions on this one?

I'm thinking about making a specific thread for all 'I have an idea' posts; is this a good idea??

That sounds like a good idea - maybe make one similar to the writing tips thread too. I believe there already is a thread in Fan Corner with game making tips, so maybe that could just be stickied.
