This thread, will be a way to promote your merit-worthy comments, to us all...

Some of you might say: 'Shouldn't this be in the Flash Games section?'
well you are probably right, but this is a little less involved with games, and a little more involved in help.

Also, if you have any issues with writing merits, you can give it a shot, and ask for feedback. Experienced, but not quite right? Get your feedback here!

To all mods, this is not something that you have to look at, to see the comments, this was designed for people to say 'Hey, have a look at this comment. Do you like it?' and 'Could you tell me what I need to improve on?'

Actually, we have to swim through that sea of spam to spot merits. Most of the time, that is. I have once given a merit to a comment five minutes after it was posted.


How many merits have you actually given? The near endless sea of spam is terrible. Each game has it's own sea of spam so I can imagine how difficult it would be for a team of moderators to find merit worthy comments in a sea of spam. A sea of spam for every game, when there are 3000 games!

GemCrat is flooded with spam, all the ghost users are advertising games on other sites, which is kinda terrible. And so many on liners like 'Gemcraft FTW', 'This game rocks', which kind of is like spam.

You bet, it's the way of the spammy world.

Even those who are actively on AG spam. Unless a moderator luckily stumbles upon your review, there isn't a great chance that you will receive a merit for your review. Whether, your review is worthy or not.

It doesn't matter, comments/reviews should be written for people to view, even if they are flooded with spam, not for the sole sake of getting merits. One day, a mod will eventually find your review so don't despair!

With the ever growing sea of spam, the probability decreases. There should be an easier way to find reviews hidden in the flood of spam.
At least the forums are not as spammed up.

Just to ask. Do the mods actually scour the comments pages to look for merit-worthy ones?

They do. That's what Zophia said.

Think of this -

There are three thousand games.
There are about five active moderators.
Every single game is flooded with spam.

It's hard for a mod to find merit worthy comments.

that's why you should only make a review on the NEW games so mods can find it quick and easy!

The mods aren't always on new games. I made review for Run Elephant Run and it was rewarded as a merit. It depends on the moderator and where he/she happens to be looking.

I suppose you are correct but the moderators are moderators and we can't read their minds. So who knows where they will go. The mods also go check out old games for merit worthy comments.
