Yeah, quite often. I'm pretty sure this isn't allowed:

But a lot of accounts do this, I report them when I see them but I'm not sure a reported comment gets noticed unless a certain number of people report it (anti troll precautions or something) But am I the only one noticing? Unless this is one f AG's advertisers (in which case, lol. srry. :3 ) I think this is against the rules. If this is a repeat post I apologize in advance.
Most likely it is people who don't like ArmorGames or they are avenging for the banning of a previous account. So, as a result, they just spam the site.
I have already made a thread about this issue. It isn't just one user, but a recent wave of new accounts are doing this.
It has been going on for half a year now, the only reason no one has made a thread about it is because we have managed to get around to deal with it asap.
Report and move on. Don't flag them, report them with a link to their profile and preferably a game where they have made such comment.
whats wrong with a flag, dont you look at it or people abuse it
Justin, (jroyster22) is the one who usually looks at the flagged comments (but not every day or anything like that.) And especially because the staff is working so hard on AG3 he probably doesn't have time to do that stuff anymore.

No I don't. Because I'm a mod. I also doubt the admins actually look at the posts flagged, as much as simply clearing out what has been flagged more than x amount of times, but I really don't know. What is important, however, is that you actually report the users doing this so we can get them banned, instead of their posts, that is evidence of their "crimes", being deleted. Not reporting the users is a very direct way of making sure they can continue advertising.

That might not be very good as some hater/troller/loser might go and flag random and important forum posts. And possibly merits that they see.
Oh yeah, btw, if you happen to see a thread with spam in it, don't reply to it by saying "Please read the rules" or something like that. It's considering backseat modding, and the moderators don't like that.

It's considered stupid and annoying, since it serves no real reason or goal, as it doesn't make it easier for a mod to find it when someone decides to post in a thread that: 1) The OP will never read again. 2) Will be deleted. 3) Might actually be well camouflaged in the title, which means we are navigating by username here. And if someone posted in it, we can't see the OP's name there.
Report and leave. That is what you ought to do.
And yes, there is a lot of those. Having used a few hours following one specific game, banning adbot accounts and deleting spam (I would have given merits too, but there was no one that cared to write more than two lines of "This is kinda cool, but the music is too boring and it actually sucks"...), and I think I went through ten ad-accounts, if not more. They basically figure out they are banned, make a new account and start over again, and the only real break there is, is that between being banned, advertising on other games and then advertising on the game I was looking at. Though that might be overestimating the intelligence behind those accounts.
