Well you can look at the sticky that talks about spam, but spam isn't described well.


Isn't it described very well?

"Carlie, I am pregnant, getting abortion."


Right...thats kinda wierd....lol!

Seven isn't enought to really be articulate with a comment and it really does force people to think of a decent reply, rather than:

"orly? itz gr8 IMO"

Ahh, I was going to create a topic, but it seems my concerns are being brought up here. It's annoying to read comments from people who having nothing better to see but "9/10" or "it was good, could be better".

Why aren't there any stricter regulations surrounding comment making (i.e. one word comments should be banned completely, etc)?

Klaushouse, I thought you were a guy? XD

Anyways, like I said before... it really is not hard to make a comment longer than 7 words. Really, I promise you it isn't... lol.

I'm a guy, genetically impregnated though.

Again, less than seven words, gets the point across!

Just shows you, seven word posts can be ok just think it through! Filler words like and, the, etc. are not needed!

The fact is, if we see a 6 word post that is productive, yes we might leave it. But most people do not write comments that short that are constructive in any way. If it is that short, and is spam, it is gone. If it is alright, it can stay. It is not exactly an all or nothing thing. But most people who write those short comments are spamming them, and they do run the risk of being deleted.

To me, it's just unimaginable how anyone could write anything constructive with just seven words.

e.g.

"Game needs to be improved, with better graphics" (8 words, I know :P)

What about the graphics are bad? It's just too darn general.

Now it just doesn't make sense to me why anyone would think they've done their part for AG by writing that or anything simpler.

Well, it might not be deleted, but it certainly will not get a merit!

Try reading thread, lots of examples.


See got my point across with less then 7 words again.
But honestly most comments less then 7 words are no good. I won't lie I have a few of them..

Okay okay okay, Klaus, you've made your point :P

But a majority (close 99%) of the "seven or less" word comments made on games are pretty spammy if you ask me. Not helpful at all.
