From Hacker News Original Article Hacker News Discussion

"The HTML Maze" is an interactive web maze where users can explore, draw on walls, and leave messages while trying to find the exit.

Why it matters: It offers a unique online interactive experience blending exploration with user-generated content.

The stakes: Lack of input filtering invites offensive or racist messages, harming user experience.

The big picture: Interactive web experiences increasingly rely on community input, raising moderation challenges.

Commenters say: Users appreciate the creativity but warn about the need for better content moderation to prevent abuse.
