I'm almost finishing with the different iterations for the mobile layouts, please let me know which areas/pages need to be improved in the comments. I will like to have them finished as soon as possible.
Underlying multies detection functionality is almost ready too, but obviously this will need a constant "detect and improve" iteration as there's always new ways of cheating and ways to create multies under the radar.
Some of you have suggested a SMS code verification, this is a good suggestion and maybe it could be added as an optional verification soon, but for the moment I'm still working on transparent detection.
There's other issue with the multi detection, and this is basically that obviously is different to create just one multi, than creating tens of multis with the purpose of cheating, therefore there will be few levels of penalization in case it's detected.
This detection (in different degrees) will trigger some actions within Tengaged:
- Voting value will be zero (stars, blogs, designs)
- Joining games will be limited
- Earning in bets will not be added
- Preference in game eviction
- Game/Shop earnings will not be added
- Ban, color level reset
At the same time we need to reduce the incentives for multi creation, so below are some of the possible changes during next week. (any feedback will be very valuable)
- Return of full negative counts for the designs
- No Stars voting for white levels
- No negative voting value for white levels (design, blogs)
- No image posting for white levels
About the shops, I'm thinking in ways to improve the rotation of shops. Actually having a shop for few weeks in a row is a way to get lots of T$. This was the main objective for the game, to give good incentives for designers and shop owners that bring quality items.
But this is also the main area for a black market of Gifts that unfortunately affects the shop game functionality in a way that makes extremelly difficult for any user to get a shop and even more difficult to get in the Top 3 for the shopping game.
In few weeks, shop functionality may change a bit:
- No carry on for not used inventary in winning shops
- Less total inventory per shop and increase number of shops (total inventary will remain equal)
- Limit to 5 in a row for a shop?
Finally, I will add a "Report" button to user's profile. This is to report any behaviour against the terms of this site. But this alone will not solve any problem.
We all should protect ourselves and the rest of the Tengaged community from any abuse and predating behavior.
This is a criminal activity and we should all be alert against these dangerous people, we dont want them here!
If you have any suggestion about how to make Tengaged safer from these sick people, please comment or sent me a message.
Thanks for all of you and specially those who have been reporting issues, helping protecting this site and providing feedback and ways to improve it! :)
randomize can you do anything about skimmilk4 and Coolsocks1 though? I went through a very personal situation with them that I don't want others to get in. There has been 4 people who stood up like myself about skimmilk4 and can something at least be done about those users? Thanks.
randomize Is there a way once we have banned someone to try to track if they make a new accounts. I know past people preying on minors have simply made a new account to continue their sick actions, is there a way we can track this, or is it too easy to hide your ip and make new accounts
FINALLY A REPORT BUTTON. THANK YOU.
Will there be a way in the future to change emails for accounts? The phone verification is a great idea, but I'd really like to be able to change my email from 6 years ago that is now deleted so I can connect facebook/google.
Randomize the real black market with designs is people posting designs that they have stolen/don't have permission for

Randomize thank you for addressing the incidents. Like Koolness has said former abusers of minors have created new accounts, so can something else such as an IP ban or more be implemented for this please?
- No carry on for not used inventary in winning shops
This has not been the case since like 2013 randomize unless it was and no one really used it. Can you confirm if it is now? I’m pretty sure no one has been using this.
- Less total inventory per shop and increase number of shops (total inventary will remain equal)
35 stock is already little. Don’t take it away. And what do you mean by “total inventory remaining the same but less total inventory per shop? Can you elaborate?
- Limit to 5 in a row for a shop? This is great tbh
Can you add 1t gifting back and auction discounts. I know you took advice from two users to implement this and one of them have never had a single shop and the second person gets one once every year. There was nothing to change in shops and it was doing well when you changed that.
Also, can you add something where we can title it as a gifting shop, so the public gets a penalty for purchasing from those, like you had on .es.
For the mobile fixes I would say that:
- When you try to change your avatar you need to rotate the phone in order to see lips, hair orn.. etc
- For shop gifting you also need to tilt the phone in order to gift someone.
randomize Love everything you are doing! :) TBH I love the shop idea, may not be so popular within the design community... But it just seems certain people are in shops for years, and get 1000s of T$, when there are people who literally have 60 (me LOL).
So with the predator issue... I think you gotta include more with filtering than just mails/PMs. You should be able to block people entirely, their comments from other blogs, profile, game comments, etc. This will also help with bullying! I guess you could also implement that IP tracking with predators specifically, so once someone is banned for that issue, they can't make another account on the site!
In games in which the nominations are not based on user input I think multis should be readily nominated and/or receive multiple added eviction votes and received minimal to zero payout rewards. An example scenario of 19 multis and one actual player would result in the actual player winning the game even if the multis vote against that players comments all game.
randomize could you please add all the tabs in the non-mobile version at the top of the site?? e.g. Shops, Games, HOF, etc... so it can be easier, just like the other tabs - Community, Designs...
Also, inbox messages look annoying on phone/mobile version, hope that can be fixed too.
Hi randomize .. my original account "anyachee" was hacked a few months ago when I enrolled in the Stars game.. I have had that for several years. Don't know how this person got access to my account but did. Please ban her/allow me access to the account again. I tried emailing the help email with no response.
Also, would love to have new gaming options .. haven't had a new game in a very long time!! Do you have any new ideas to keep this site exciting again?!
randomize pls make better prizes in games, especially fasting. It is very discouraging to play only 1x a day (because I only earn money if I go to the final) to earn a maximum of 8 T $. It is very difficult to grow the account in this way, especially as a foreigner.
I feel as if white isn't enough because yellow/orange are so easy to get to in regards to voting in stars LOL you should make it a higher level such as dark green because no one would put so much effort in those accounts to control like 10 votes ..... just a thought! xx also it would motivate new users to reach a mid level of colors
I know it’s likely to have gotten very lost with the amount of mail you receive but if there is anyway you could read the mail I’ve sent you, or gagaluv has sent you on my behalf while I was a white level I would appreciate it. I also sent an email on admin@tengaged.com. I would appreciate any response and help please I’m being patient but just worried it’s all probably lost in piles of mail you are receiving.
as a lower level i agree u should raise the card level to vote in big games like stars. i was able to get orange in about no time so if someone wanted to cheat the sysemt they could do it pretty easily. maybe put it up to blue or something
At the same time we need to reduce the incentives for multi creation, so below are some of the possible changes during next week. (any feedback will be very valuable)
- Return of full negative counts for the designs
- No Stars voting for white levels
- No negative voting value for white levels (design, blogs)
- No image posting for white levels
randomize the multis that are ruining this site are not white level. People get them to red level and above. This will do nothing as most of them are not white level.
Also, the users who are currently in the "Monthly Rankers" section of the Hall of Fame are very apparently cheaters...why are they not being dealt with?
Some suggestions for shops:
Adding more shops and less inventory is a great idea...
It would be nice to be able to bid for a gifting or competing shop: for gifting it standard at 1ts
but if u bid for compete there could be a cap of 200-500ts and the fastest selling shops move on in order to give everyone a fair shop? I dunno ur idea is good too.
Keep in mind people use proxies to hide their IP so hopefully your detection can see users using international IPS
me pareceria buena idea que para votar en stars haga falta minimo tarjeta marron o negra, o incluso plata, como una especie de privilegio para los que tienen esta tarjeta y asi de paso las multis ya no puedan votar
tambien cambiaria los premios de 3 y 4 en frookies ya que si fuesen diferentes le sumaria emocion a la decision del pov, y tambien le daria poder de desempate al hoh de cada ronda en las votaciones de expulsion
It’s really hard to gift or buy designs on mobile because part of the screen is cut off. Also it would be nice if you could add the Tattoos/Skin tabs back on the edit avi page. I agree with getting back 1 T$ gifting and I know you don’t like it but you could always add more shops like you said and have 3 or 4 designated gifting shops so it doesn’t effect the competing shops.
randomize , about 2 years ago I had my account banned so I would stop playing because I needed to focus on my life, but now I want it back. Is there a way you can mail me, as I am white level and cannot mail anyone so we can discuss this. You can ban this account obviously after. Thank you
randomize you also need to do something about survivor game... There are players doing the challenge for all the tribe mates.
You need to block the access of the accounts in different ip.
The report button functionality should list certain options on what you're reporting a user for (i.e. cheating in games, multis, predator-like behavior, etc.) and get sent to both you and any moderators so that someone can check to see if the report has substance to it. Likewise, reports shouldn't be anonymous and users who abuse it should be punished themselves.
randomize I hope you die and fucking rot and burn in hell bc I know you are on a banning spree since like 2018 or 2017 just for the fucking money bitch,don't push me dick head or I will make multies to bring this shitty sight down and I will puul up with every fucking person I know to make multies so stop right here and give me admin so I can make this sight better you asshole,don't even try me you can't find my multies I will make more to fuck you
Summary of what I'm saying:
I wish you die since you are on banning ppl only for money
If you ban me,I'll make multies to make this website horrible
Very cool. Better /more updated and extensive site faqs and game “help” sections would be cool too since a lot of the info in the original ones is outdated and non applicable, or doesn’t fully explain how the game actually works.
Lo que debería hacer usted es poner el.es que ya es hora , debería decir el motivo del por qué lo quito siendo español nos quitas el.es a esas personas que les damos vida a tus paisanos . randomize da la cara hombre y di por qué lo quito y póner el .es y el de Brasil ,aquí hay muchos mensajes racistas hacia los españoles a ti debería de caerse la cara de vergüenza de no defender a su país y defender una bandera que no es la suya.
FINALLY A REPORT BUTTON. THANK YOU.

randomize please do not reduce the number of designs we can post in shops if that's what you are implying and i agree with everything what minie suggested too
Can we be allowed to change our email addresses? My original email was hacked and I would love to have more security on my account since it was hacked in the past. randomize
randomize , you're doing a great job! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK <3
Also, the users who are currently in the "Monthly Rankers" section of the Hall of Fame are very apparently cheaters...why are they not being dealt with?

And also, the stars voting. Multis are not just in WHITE LEVEL. There are a lot of multis that are YELLOW LEVEL and ABOVE. Make it at least Blue Level. :))
Hopefully, you can also improve the payouts on games, and also, add more games that we can enjoy and improve some games especially fastings for the NEW USERS to LOVE and ENJOY <3
Thank you so much and excited for more updates to come. Love you KING :D
Estoy de acuerdo con quien pide moderadores, si no esto seguirá igual o como dices siempre habra quién haga trampas, mejor unos moderadores para que todo este controlado dia a dia y no se monte un follón
randomize please ban the hacker and multi cheat colter who has fleeced money out of many many people on this site. suehappy Tracey Queen knows this as does gagaluv Queen. Ban him for life.
Lo que deberías es investigar a los que están amenazando a los españoles con sacar fotos de sus hijos menores, y sacar información nuestra sin conocernos de nada ... No sabía yo que tenías equipo de investigación aquí metido... Eso es ilegal asique tu sabrás... Pero como vea fotos o algo de algún menor q yo conozca por este juego tomaré medidas.
Could you possibly allow people to anonymously buy designs like we do for gifting? Sometimes it’s annoying getting bombarded with mail for gift giving after buying a design off the shops.
