I suggest a system that makes it so all comments or posts must be at least 5 words long.
I believe this would majorly decrease the amount of spam in comments and prevent people from being able to just say something like good game, bad game, stupid game, I rated x/10, etc.

I've shared this idea before but thatstill wouldn't stop people from repeating words eg.

it was a very very very very stupid game.

Oh it's fine. There will be very few ways how to stopspammers. But there is a lot of ways how to find them.

I wish that it would be so that it tells you "Remember, please try and keep comments 5-7 words thank you" right under submit.

And Well yeah people would say and do what seize the elemnt said.

There is a way around almost everything, there is no definite way to stop spammers at once.

It would reduce spam a bit but it really wouldn't stop them from repeating words over and over again but it would be a little bit of help

What about minuses for spammers?
The spammers are spamming for points so that would probably be effective.
But it is also almost impossible to keep up and this method it a bit to negative.
