I am often caught writing comments with less then 7 words like "whats up" or "add me" so maybe for people who believe in not spamming there should be a quick chat kinda thing, that gives no points and has a "QC" in the top right corner which would mean Non-Spam, and mods wouldn't have to give warnings, and if someone constantly reposted these they could be flagged.

I really can't find any cons for this so tell me what you think.

Isn't this just like the unofficial AG chat? If you want to do it this way, go there, and station a mod.

It would just have basic's like "Whats up", "Want to be friends?", "I would like to join!", or just plain "Hi". Carlie, please tell me what you think.

I am not quite sure what you are going for here. Would it be in the messenger? A separate window in profiles? Or a separate chat page altogether?

It would be in the forums, game comments and player comments, there would be a button that would give Quick Chat options, so that there would be alot less spamming.

so you would implement these quick responses that get people no AP,but if they don't use them,then they have no excuse for the short comments?Is that what you mean?

Meh well honestly its interesting but still spam could be done. Even in these text boxes there will end up being some idiots,for example on a game:fun
fun
really fun...etc. And there used to be something like this but it was shut down and why? Due to spam. So I honestly doubt this will go through,but good thinking!

Not like an IM, or a chat room, but on your comments that get points, this way you won't get 1,000 points from just saying "Hi".

Like I said, in the top tight corner of your comment it would say "QC" so mods would no it was Non-Spam.

Does that Clarify things?

also a way to reduce spam will just make people say at least 5 words or so. There will still be spam, but it will just be more thoughtful
