The merit system greatly enhances AG since it encourages constructive gamer feedback. However, what control measure exists to discourage individuals from simply going through game after game, quickly ranking it, without actually playing it, then writing two words, like: "Love it!" ?
There will possible be a vote up/down system in AG3 for comments and forum posts. That will most likely encourage people to leave better feedback because if they don't, then their comments will most likely get voted down. Also, AG does have a spam bot, I think they run it periodically.
Is it possible to accualy improve the forum posts, because they are just like the comments for games, execept spam in the forums is less likely because it is only 1 AP. Because comments are more AP, they spam them.
I was wondering about a spam filter for extra security and less strain on AG staff to make the system fair.
armorgames.com will not be making many changes to the website format for a little while, seeing as ag3 is almost made. so there is no point updating this if its going to be erased

From what I've read, in AG3 there won't be AP given for forum posts and comments.

That doesn't mean that his idea is bad. He can just post it in the AG3 sub-forum.

I can see a flaw in this system particularly when dealing with the WEPR.
Let's take the religious topics that often come up there. Let's pretend both of these quotes are well thought out posts.
"God is real"
"God Doesn't exist"
What we might end up seeing are one or both camps voting down the other just for disagreeing with what the person has to say rather then how well thought out the post was. The more extreme situation might be in the WEPR but I could see it in other areas of the forum as well.
