A button where you can see the comments a person has made. This way we can help the mods, because we can also check for spammers and then just report them to the mods. It's easier if the mods don't have to search themselves. So practically the "commoners" will search for spammers much more easily and can report spammers much faster and more.

That is a great idea. That would help a lot on AG.

I don't understand...

I think you mean some way of seeing a persons comment/post history. If thats what you mean, then I'm all for it!

Maybe a limit on it to reduce the lags, like only last 50 posts? The only problems are: What do we call spam? Won't copying go easier? Wont this unite a few spammers which only increases spam?

well it's time consuming for the moderators, because they have to watch all over us instead of just playing here. it's a good idea but you can't use it.

I do not suggest this.
1. It will probably lag the site. Imagine looking and firetail_madness's page.

2. So what if they spam? Deleting the comments will make it better? You think the mods are online 24/7 to check comments? I don't think so. Please put a bit thought in your suggestions before suggesting them.

Well, Still, I don't have any rights to say bad things about your comment. At least you plucked up the courage to comment (Lol)

For every suggestion there is a reaction of it lagging the site and how did firetail get in this?

I agree with that, because they have a live to. why don't we just report people that spam to the mods and they have to do it by them self.

If the spam is to be removed they will lose AP again and they can be punished to prevent the spam from taking up the upper hand. About the lag maybe and that's why I also said that a limit like 50 comments max will atleast lower the lag.

im not sure if they have this or not, but basically what your suggesting is that the have a mod organizer. (like a whole box of flagged comments, and history reports for all users) that would be cool in some cases.

Carlie one said that when something is flagged, it's brought into a database that can only be accessed by administrators. No users or moderators can access it.

I would like to think yourself in the position of a moderator: you have to sort and clean Armorgames of all spam every time you log on. Almost everyday people also ask you questions. But imagine only being able to answer 50 questions! Zophia gets quite a few dozen questions daily. That wouldn't be fair to good users either. It's hurting the whole community for only a few handfuls of spammers. I wouldn't like it, that's for sure, even though I don't use the messenger so often.

@unlimited I know how it would be to be a moderator as im also leader of a clan and part of communities (made it several tiems to staff). I know how it is to be, so actually im either fool or iforgot to take that view with me. It will indeed increase the work, and taking for moderators just for this job would be stupid too. Maybe i should have taken this view aswell.

I don't think that this is a good idea at all cause not all people that write small posts are spammers even me i write small posts sometimes only because there is nothing else to say so i think this is a waste of time.

That's what I meant with what do we call spam? Unless there will be new rules which tells us what spam exactly is, this Idea won't do. I think a lock do it's work here.

Firetail has wrote gazillions of comments... And if someone that has less than 500 gazillion GB RAM and CPU will open the comment tab thingy, His computer will freeze.

well are you saying spam should just be ignored?


You shouldn't expect from someone to check every game, every user to delete his comments, only for him (the spammer) to spam more.
Unless spam wouldn't define spam, It wont go.

Here is a better suggestion:
Limiting minimum characters and types of characters, Limiting maximum number of the same character, Limiting accounts with maximum comments
