I'm saying that because it would get alot more people to start flagging spam and such instead of just mods, because only roughly 30% (unproven) of spam gets deleted (in my opinion)

It's a stupid Idea end of story.

Then people would delete random comments and posts and earn AP for it. See it's just creating more people earning AP through not posting.

5-6 moderators just for patroling the new games deleting comments that meet the criteria above.


That wouldn't really be the brighteset idea 201,there only 9 mods and 1 adminsrater,alot of them are inactive,busy etc. The forums are what need to be kept from spam. DD

Spam in the forums is why I don't want a chat here. It would just create more spam.

Yeah most of the newbies spam games and rate them and don't do posts for a while. They annoy me.

Yeah. And they don't even play them. They should realize they're wasting there time. While we, as non-spammers, spend time for fun and discussions.

Reporting should be a better option. It's quicker.
Being a complete newb, I thought I would mention that I did join AG because of summer vacation, but I did actually intend to try and find a forum to call home and comment semi-thoughtfully most of the time. And I like games.

I honestly don't see the point in spamming for points. Everyone just ends up hating you and never taking you seriously.

They just what to be number 1.

Nah, it's fine the way right now. There are too many games to patrol. They'll delete anything they find is spam.

Most just want to break the record for a month. Some want to be in the top 100, top 10, or even number 1. Or some are from another who just wants to ruin it.

in my opinion, you should get some ap for deleting spam comments, that way, they'd eventually HAVE to stop spamming, because it's giving everybody besides them ap :P just saying.


A spam Bot would be a terrible idea, it would delete none spam posts as well.

That is a terrible idea, honestly.

Just let the mods and admins do their jobs. We don't want to push them.

Alright, alright, I was just simply saying it would take some of the work load off of the mods and give regular users a reward as well, but everybody seems to be against it, I understand your points, I wasn't saying it would give them alot of ap, just like one point per comment.

After reading Step on a baby's plan again, it's even worse. People would just delete post for ap, even if they're no spam posts.

I know a couple of people who can be promoted to a moderator.

As, I can see right now nothing going to change as in the current form of Armorgames. It'll probably be the same.

About AG version 3.0 I don't really know a lot about it, but it might fix some of the glitches on here. And more features.

But guys, there are some newbies who start off as not a spammer. Sadly, most newbies start off spamming. =/

Anyway bacobit, I meant if they only deleted spam comments, not legit reviews and such.
