J-Factor, a well known member of the GMC has made a public suggestion for managing submitted games and determining their level of security / ’safeness’.
Users can upload either safe/secure games or normal games. Safe games would have a special status icon (e.g. a green tick) to show they are safe to play. Normal games would have a question mark icon to show that there may be a risk.
When you attempt to download a normal game it should display a mild warning (that could be disabled in user preferences) and perhaps a checkbox where you agree not to hold YoYo Games responsible. The “unknown risk” status for normal games could be changed by user voting or a moderator. Once a certain number of users have voted the game as “Safe” simply change the status.
Sandy commented to say the YYG team likes the suggestion J-Factor made and has decided to listen to the public on this one and will most likely implement such a system in the near future. Sandy did say however, that this suggestion can’t be implemented in time for the first public beta release of the website.
+1 for YoYo 
Sounds like a fair compromise to the safe-mode policy they are encouraging

…wait a second… if this has ACTUALLY been implemented, why is this listed as a rumor?

It hasn’t been implemented. Sandy is still deciding whether or not it will be, but there is a fairly high chance at least something resembling the suggested system will be available in the future.

That’s actually an interesting idea… I’d even be willing to implement it onto 64Digits, if we didn’t have games be verified by staff already.
Hopefully Sandy has it implemented.

This can be so easily “hacked” (not even), a person could just have multiple account verify that the game is safe and then it appears that way. I would say only having a moderator check it.
