Hi. I need to know something:

If I put a personal rating (ie 5/10) in my game comment it will be deleted?

I saw something like that in a post named "Missing Armor Points Lately?" or something like that. But I don't know if my case fits that rule, once I always write something like "immersive gameplay" or &quotoor soundrack" to complement my comment. I just put the rating at the end, to show my opinion clearly.

Is there a problem with that? At least I don't do like those dudes who write: "funny game 8.3/10"

Thanks for the attention.

up to discretion of who deletes them

anything longer than 7 words and I'd say you're okay.

I hope the moderators/administrators who see my comments consider the rest of the comment before looking at the numbers. I ALWAYS play and think a lot about the games before comment.

Putting your number in will not get it deleted - you're allowed to put your rating in your comment as long as the comment you write is over 7 words as Graham said.

You can't simply put "5/10" and that's it. That's considered spam.

Main reason is because its considered spam. Usually people spam game comments to earn Armor Points. So when moderators/Admin remove your comment it also removes your 2 Armor Points you've earned from the comment. Otherwise everyone would spam for AP.
Long story short, type at least a sentence on what you think of the game. And then a rating.

So basically, anything under 7 words is generally considered spam. However, content also matters. As an example, I will quote two 7-word comments on Elephant Quest:

one of the best games ive played


Fun game, just too laggy for me


Both comments are 7 words, but I think the second one is better since it calls the game laggy. Also, neither of these comments contains a rating, but it still illustrates that not all 7-word comments are created equal.

Putting the rating anywhere in your game comments shouldn't be a problem. It's usually what the content of your comment is. We usually want comments to be "7 words long". We also wish that you will provide a reason to why you rated the game as such, which usually covers that standard well enough. If you just say "5/10" then yeah, we will probably kill it with fire. If you say "5/10 because X, Y, and Z", then Frank will give you the thumbs up and goes on his merry way.

Thanks by all the replies. It really answered my question.

I just asked that because I made a comment like this (with rating but 7-or-more words long) in The Last Stand 2 game comments and I guess it was deleted. So I asked myself if it was the rating in the end. I think I just didn't found it when looking for it in other day.
