I don't know if this has been brought up but there should be a minimum amount of words you write in a comment like 5 or 10 or something so people don't just write in lots of things to get points. ?
well for game comments sure,but not regular comment since there are certain threads that wouldn't work if that was implemented.Also I think there may be other complications to this.
This is quite a good idea! but most spam comments are more than 10 words like for example "Check out my new [Example] Club It's totally awesome! PM me for details!" but I still think it's a good idea.
They would find the easy loophole of just pressing random letters. A lot of random letters. Just have a filter for some important games and work your way up to getting every game a filter.
They already have something like that, it's just that people don't necessarily flag those one word comments or comments that don't make sense.
It's been discussed and debated before. There's a 7 word minimum, anything under would be considered spam (unless looked at). In order to code a way of filtering out rubbish or having a message pop up (i.e. "You must write a 7 word minimum", it could take quite a while. Even then people would just write 'ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, gay, ok, ok" or some other jibberish.
If you want to combat rubbish comments and strike down upon those who don't contribute anything important, then I suggest using the flag wherever you go.
This is an idea that has been brought up quite a few times before. But I think that it would just cause a new way to get around spamming. Instead of '0/10 its bad!' we would just get stuff like '0/10 its really bad bad bad bad bad." Limiting words does not necessarily mean that we would get an increase in constructive comments. Just a different way to get around it.
