I was just wondering when to flag a comment on a game? Should I flag it when it is just a one word answer like "cool" that is obviously just written to get AP or is flagging only for something that is offensive?

I even made a small organization based on just flagging. It works; those comments we flagged were all gone, and it only needed to take more than one person, so why not &quotarticipate"? While your game is loading, take the time to flag those comments down at the bottom or something. It doesn't take too much to do.


Can I join? I want to clear the load of spam thats quite irritating.

I have started flagging much more recently (I've even been seeing more good comments and mopving them up). All the one word comments are so annoying.

You know what's so cool... I was about to make a topic like this. But then I came upon GOOGLE!

This was helpful though because now I can flag those ads and whatsoever. Thanks Green12324 for making the topic!

Then you should consider not commenting at all.
I know that at least some of the developers are checking the gamecomments to know if there is any glitches, and to so if people like the game. Just saying "Good" or even just saying what you rated is simply not enough for them to get to know your real oppinion.
If you really is too lazy to even place the "good"/"Bad" in a real sentence, then you should keep from commenting.

you stupid morons!!

Flamers are usually less intelligent than other people, or often they seem to be less intelligent. Just saying.

I just flagged this guy yesterday. Apparently he posted comments on his profile to gain points. Like 8 comments. And they were monosyllabic or really short, like 'Hi to myslef', 'Lol!','Eh?', that sort of thing.
Actually, that would be more fit for reporting rather than just flagging the comments. Since he should get a little warning and such...

Yes! It is. It helps out admins when they look in that weird database thing I keep hearing that shows all the flagged comments. Easier to find them. might flag a few things too now...
Fixed.

I think if you flag a comment itl imediatley send to the mods,You dont have to whine to the mods just flag it up
In bad cases, reporting is fine. Might mean a faster ban, since mods don't see what has been flagged.

SPAM = Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages.
Just like yours! *flags... no wait, deletes*

Oh, and, Royadin. Don't post three times saying the exact same thing in different words. *deletes two of them*
Dunno why it gives you the error message, though.
I wonder how the mods can fix it??
We can't, but hopefully the devs will get around to it soon.

Looks like someone needs a talking to...

Yes, it is all fine and dandy that all your thoughts/opinions/feelings on/about a game can be expressed in one word (be it cool/bad/stupid/gay/good/awesome/scary/crappy/WHATEVER THE HECK ELSE people post as one word comments).

IT IS STILL FLUFFING SPAM.

And why, you may ask? The game comments are meant to be feedback. Sure, it's nice that you thought the game was "good". You know what, faving it expresses that better. If you thought the game was "bad", it's completely useless to just post that one word! Because that doesn't say anything about WHY you thought it was bad or gay or stupid or awful or horrible or blah!
It does no good for ANYONE. Not for the game developer who might want some constructive criticism/good feedback. Not for the people casually glancing at the comments to see what others thought of the game. Not for the people who's potentially merit worthy reviews are pushed down the comment pages by useless crappy one-word-spam. It's fluffing USELESS.

Also, you really shouldn't flame.

...

A good game comment is generally at least a comprehensible sentence.
"I don't like this game, the graphics suck." is borderline. But not delete worthy, since it actually states clearly what was disliked.
"Awesome, this was so scary and cool!" also borderline. Not delete worthy because it does say what was liked about the game.

All comments more thought through than that honestly makes me happy every time I see them. But they're actually rare. :<

And now I shall go post that "talking to" on his profile because I'm not sure he'll look here again... None of you take any damage from reading it, though. You should know it.

*FACEPALM* And he locked his comments so I can't warn him.

Well f that.

If any of you guys see some of his one-word comments on games, lemme know so I have a good reason to ban him for a day or so and post a good long reason for why it is spam in his ban message, kay? Good.

... but I do it... go and look for mine, if you want a good sentence of criticism, mmk?

Ok, Zophia, I'll watch out for him just for you, but your mood bracelet is getting redder,
if you catch my drift >_>

Has the number of flags needed to notify a mod/admin been answered yet? I would love it if the
minimum was only 2 flags, that way more of the pesky spam would be deleted =D

cool!

so this makes it so I don't have to post on a Mod's wall to get them to come and check it out.

also, could a person hypothetically flag a comment, so a mod can look at it and maybe give a merit or something? Because I know a few people who asked me.
