I recently posted a comment on fujistu defender that i spent a a lot of time and effort on, going for merits and to help the game be understood. After doing so, I worried, what if nobody sees it and it just gets buried and unread by the community? Then it hit me, what if armorgames had a system where every word spelled correctly would count as a word, and if a comment reaches a certain amount or higher, it instantly gets (i don't know what to call it) like flagged in a good way where its easier for moderators to see it. In doing this, as an extra, make any merited comment for a game appear as the first comment, like a sticky. This would let everybody see what the person had to say about the game, and reading it will help them understand the game. This would overall help the game prosper, if people read and understood the game, they might not vote it down for a problem they had, the comment would help them understand how to deal with the problem and they would probably, in the long run, vote the game as it should be. I don't jump to playing low rated games, and if the games were rated higher, where they should be, people might play them more.
I hope these ideas are do-able and i hope if they are done, they will help
Oh and I forgot to say, what i mean by the word has to be correct, like no spelling errors, this will also help to let moderators know which comment is also spelled correctly. one last thing i want to mention, if this idea does go though, it wouldn't be a good idea to tell the community as a whole because if you did, you might have people just spam words spelled correctly just to get noticed or something. im not sure if anyone would be immature enough to do that, but they might :/
[quote=Graham]People going for merits could just type 25 A's after they're done.
A wordcount war.[/quote]
no they cant. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa isnt a word. What i said is if it has a certain number of words spelled correctly. like this sentence would have seven words. and if you mispel something, it doesn't count, this would be 12 words. 'mispel' isnt a word because it isnt spelled correctly so it wouldnt count.
[quote=beastahayes]And yes people are immature enough to do that.[/quote] thats why the AG probably shouldn't tell the public about it.
Ahem. How to gain 2 points by doing nothing but laugh at the mods, while still managing to circumvent word count, right spelling and whatever that can be done to make it harder to spam:
A wall of text is something that is frowned upon in most, actually virtually all Internet societies, including forums, chat boards, and Uncyclopedia. You should not make walls of text because it can get you banned anywhere unless it is a place that encourages walls of text. I highly doubt any place does support something so irritating and annoying, but anything can exist, but not really because unless you are in heaven then that can happen. But no one actually knows that was just a hypothesis, a lame one that is. Actually not really lame. You can create a wall of text supporting site, but you would be hated if you do that, so do not. But you can if you like, but I discourage that. Now on to the actual information of walls of texts. The wall of text was invented when the Internet was invented, but actually it was slow at that time. So whenever it became fast. But there would need to be some free or not free community for people, and that community would be able to have walls of text. But that community probably wouldn't have actually invented the wall of text. So basically, no one except God knows when or where or how the wall of text existed/was invented. Noobs probably invented, but probably not. Who knows. Walls of texts are usually filled with a lot of useless information and junk. Information and junk can be the same, but only if the information is junk or the junk is information. But who cares. The information/junk inside a wall of text are usually related to whatever the wall of text is located, but the best walls of text, which are actually the most irritating, most eye-bleeding ones, are completely random. Walls of text usually make the reader asplode or have their eyes bleed and fall out of their sockets. A number of people can stand it, but not read them. Actually some people can stand and read them. Those people do not have short attention spans. These are boring and patient people who have no life or have all the time in their hands, which are the same, but not really. The punishment of what making walls of text varies of the strictness of the community. But it doesn't really matter. Nobody cares. Walls of texts should be free of links, different font colors, strange characters, which are those other symbols used in society, and capital letters because it ruins the whole purpose of the infamy of walls of texts. It makes them look fucking dumb and weird. Walls of texts are obviously free of huge spaces and outstanding things like capital letters. Of course, paragraphs should never be in a wall of text. Walls of text are known to create nausea, confusion, head explosion, and others. The others being something I can not think of either because I am lazy or if I do not feel like it or I can not actually think of anything. Like what the fuck? That was a rhetorical question right there. What the fuck? You are actually not requesting a satisfactory answer, you just say that because you try to be funny or you feel like it or if you are pissed off. You must get a proper bitch-slapping to stop making walls of text, but if you are weird then that doesn't apply to you. Walls of text are defeated by deleting them or splitting them into paragraphs. Or some other things that would work but will take hours to think of. People are considered a nuisance if they create walls of text. This might be the end. If you hope this is the end, I am not sure. But if I was not sure then I wouldn't be talking. I should know. Or should I? The best way to make a better and good wall of text is to copy and paste what you previously typed or write. Hey, that reminds me. Walls of text aren't always on the internet! They could be anywhere that is able to produce symbols. D'oh.

You are actually not requesting a satisfactory answer, you just say that because you try to be funny or you feel like it or if you are pissed off. Now I just copied and pasted part of this huge wall of text, which is actually not. Wait what? Nice right? Ba boom a rhetorical question right there. Is this the end for the sanity of your eyes? What the fuck did you actually read up to here? Or did you skip to near the end and read this? Either way, you fail in life. Just kidding. Or was I? Oh well. Congratualtions, or not, actually not. Get a life right now. I found a cheap life on eBay, but cheap lives are rare. Well, good luck in finding one. Not! Okay go kill yourself, but I wasn't meaning that. So go sit in the corner in your house. I do not care which, just stay there and rot. If you are not in a place with a corner, then lucky you. Find one if you can. There is no other option because I said so. Now if you pity yourself for reading this like most do, then do something productive and useful to the environment. My goodness.So SAD SO SADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!Walls of text often go on for how ever long a person is willing to read. Just about now, you should be getting fed up, or you have a "thing" and can't keep reading. go on, I understand. She's blond, isn't she. Thought so. Just, just, just leave, OK? make it easier on the both of us. Some people refer to Walls of Text as text walls but that's a grammatically incorrect and has no actually to real walls. Typically a text wall will be well over 400 words but it need not be significantly so. Anything shorter than 200 words cannot be called a text wall since it's not longer than the average person can read without having to blink, though most people will have blinked at least once prior to this.
(Btw, source) People actually do that. C/p stuff in that they didn't write for points, that is.
Receiving a merit is like winning on a scratch off lottery ticket. You're gonna win sometimes, but not every time. But the more you play the more you are going to win.
