Ok, so i was looking at a users page (I wont mention names) And noticed they had a high number of comments, and like no forum posts. So I clicked on view all comments and they had about 15 pages of comments, and a large number of comments. Now if they had 1000 games rated ok, but if you add it all up, there is alot of comments that have never been awnsered to.


Now, This IS a suggestin. If you think someone is a spamer, thats a rather good way to check. i will go count the number of comments per page in a moment, but please help in the war on spam by doing this.

what if you comment on games... they count as comments right? if i have more games commented then i do on other peoples pages then i have what you described. but i dont spam. its kind of confusing, but i get the gist of it. i have less than a page of comments, and like 100 comments overall.

I remember when you used to complain to me about losing a merit...
You've changed, right?

I don't really care unless I lose a lot for no apparent reason or I find someone's doing it on purpose

I have 120 pages of comments when I enabled my comments just a few minutes ago...

That's about 12,000 comments.
I have, like...11,600 comments?

I guess that's good, but there's a lot of comments I haven't replied to...
*is in trouble and waits for the judge*

But if you do take my games rated, I guess that would be ok...

This idea has a lot of holes in it. I don't think it would work out.

Well the few holes it does have are rather good for finding someone who mods may want to keep an eye out for yes? Dont you think it is odd, when someone had 1000 extra comments?

This will not track spam. What about if you're having a conversation? And the person you are talking to deletes most comments that come on his/her page? No, this is not going to help users. Plus, what would it do to help improve site status?
