==Broken Filters==

There's an issue with the spam filter at the moment which means that, due to the presence of a restricted word, no-one without advanced persms is able to edit the page.

We're working on a fix, but for now please save any proposed edits for this page in a text editor, and feel free to discuss them here while we work on a fix [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 07:44, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

==Overbroad page==

I think this page steps a bit over the anti-consumer threshold. More precise and descriptive subsection titles ('Bias' is particularly weird) would be useful as well as a more narrow focus which avoids overlapping too much with dark patterns, etc.

I might also suggest changing the page title to 'predatory microtransactions' as this would help to avoid the implication that all microtransactions are automatically anti-consumer. [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 18:10, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:I do have to admit, I was struggling to get some proper ideas for the proper section names to write up, so I am more than welcome to see a better name implemented for this purpose.

:As for the title change, you have my support on it, just make sure you get the redirects set up! (I was considering having 'mtx' be a redirect as well) [[User:JamesTDG|JamesTDG]] ([[User talk:JamesTDG|talk]]) 19:36, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
