My point isn't to add more mods, but to not stress over game comments and don't waste time trying to make a difference in them. The system may have worked years ago when there were a few thousand users and few hundred games, but not now. There are over 2600 games and over 2 million users. It's foolish to think that deleting spam from a few games will make a difference, especially the popular games that gain a lot of attention. Sure some of it gets dealt with, but that same spam they delete shows right back up after they're done.
I understand caring about the site and wanting to keep it clean, but focusing on game comments won't do much good. Just browse through the games on the front page. They're better off not worrying about them and simply waiting for AG3.

Game comments shouldn't be ignored in my opinion due to the merit side of things. If they were ignored, even more users who write merit-worthy comments would go unnoticed.

You read the first page. And pray. Then do a jig for the audition round. Honest.

Ha. You know there is something i'm curious about.
The second method we use is a piece of software I wrote which takes some of the quantifiable criteria mentioned below and scans our database looking for users who qualify.
Since Cormyn isn't about anymore, does the site still use his software?

Not sure why you guys are talking about workload and spammy comments. Workload isn't the problem. Spammy comments aren't the problem. They don't even register as stressors. I don't know why everyone keeps going back to the spammy comments. Sure there's tens of thousands of them and it's time consuming just to deal with a small fraction of that, but they're hardly a bother. It's not even a real problem unless someone is doing it to get AP by posting meaningless comments as fast as possible over and over again across multiple games. I honestly don't get why anyone cares about the comments, outside of just wanting all the merits they think they deserve.
It's users that are the causes of stress. The main thing we deal with is people, because people are the ones creating the problems. Everyone wants everything they're way and some can't grasp the concept that the world doesn't live by their rules and react to anything beyond instant gratification or opposing their view as if it were a direct attack on their person.

No. We're doing it old school.

Guess that's another thing you can add to the stress-ball.

But it's our stress ball. We mods hardly do jobs together; we always go our separate ways. And I guess they are quicker as such. But deciding who gets to be the next moderator makes us all work on one job toge~ther~.
Comments aren't much of a problem. We delete them, yes, and we look for merit-worthy comments in the meantime, yes, but when we get this nice message in ArmorGames Beta about the beta ending this month? TON of pressure off. That's not to say I've been slacking mind you. The more I work on it, the more I'll remember it when I'm sitting at a campfire.
