I have seen recently that the feedback on games are usually like this:

"awesome" "[number]/10" "i dont get it" "fun" "i like it" &quotretty good" "lame" "cool" "lol"

and so on...

I think it would be better if people gave more constructive feedback on games... how should "lame" help? Yes, the author of the game now knows that some people don't enjoy his/her game. But what part should he improve? What do people want the part they don't like to be like?

Even criticism like "awesome" doesn't help much either... other than to encourage the author that people enjoy his game. People should include what they didn't like (if any), and suggestions for the author too.

Spam is not only caused by people who like AP, some don't know the rules, if the rules were in a more apparent place the short comments would probably decrease.

Maybe, maybe. There is a note when you do all comments that says
Please keep comments on-topic and lighthearted. Flaming will not be tolerated.
But that doesn't do much. They should put something like 'Spamming will not be tolerated. Spamming will result iin a 3 day ban' Just as a threat, or warning. It won't actually happen... or will it?

Maybe if we keep pushing for it who knows? We could do a lot if we all suggest it.

I don't know, but maybe there can be a feature that when you put feedback, you could check a checkbox that says "constructive feedback (does not increase Armor Points earned) or something. Or, when you put feedback, you can select a category for the comment through a dropdown-menu, or something. Probably won't really work too well after a short while, though..

I forgot to add: then the author/poster of the game can sort out the comments to see which ones are constructive feedback.

This may not work, however, because checking a checkbox or making it under Constructive Feedback category is strange, for all/most feedback should already be constructive, and adding those feature will imply that Armor Games allows spam...
