Possible solution for publication imp quest spam - but are there any rules against it?
Several of the imp quests require the player to publish a dream or a scene using a set of elements published by Mm.
With hindsight, those imp quests weren't such a good idea - there are a lot of zero / low effort creations consisting of just the initial scene that you get when you follow the link from the imp quest, and even the creations that show some effort look quite similar.
But it occurred to me that there might be a way to complete those imp quests without adding to that problem.
Create the scene by following the link from the imp quest, but instead of using the suggested elements, remove the elements from the initial scene that you get by following the link, create something completely original instead, and publish that original creation to complete the imp quest.
Against the spirit of the imp quest? Yes - but sticking to the spirit of the imp quest is what's causing the spam.
So, are there any rules against doing this? Either automatically enforced (the game or the servers checking that you've used a certain percentage of the suggested elements) or moderator enforced?
If there are no rules against it, the solution's already in our hands and Mm don't need to change anything to enable it.

Its not spam, its the way Dreams is designed. People dont play the imp quest creations, they are very recognisable, and even if they disguise the thumbnail you can tell in the first two seconds what it is. It is not a big deal issue in the Dreamiverse in my opinion - just let everyone get on with it. They are very easy to avoid. If you want to make it easier fro people to avoid just name your creation Imp Quest or just leave it as My creation and the date (no one looks at those either).

While we're talking about iffy achievements, how about Return to Sender getting canned? This actually IS a spam achievement.
