I've been seeing a lot of people who just post comments with no meanings whatsoever like "difgjegi" or "ok" and one that just goes on everygame posting Ik... Do those make you want to play the game or at least know something about the game? Saying that it's a "Good game" would have been way better.

I seriously think we need a report button to inform you about people who aren't really posting comments that make any logical sense.

Thank you.

The red flag is the report button.

Correct, but it's considered crappy for the following reasons:

1) The flag reports comments to admins, but not mods.
2) The admins have low activity and therefore low ability to delete flagged comments.

I've seen a lot of nonsense comments and nothing happens when I flag them. Can't someone else remove the comments or ban the users?

The flag reports comments to admins, but not mods.

Then they should improve it.

The administrators and moderators can, but the administrators are busy with AG3 and possibly creating their own games while I'd guess the moderators are busy with real life and maintaining the forums, plus you have to take into consideration all the other things they probably do while online. I doubt all they do is check AG.

There are about 2500 games on AG, those type of comments you see are on all of them. Let's say the moderators actually do remove all those comments, they'll just reappear once they're done, as if they didn't remove any at all. I don't think it's important enough to stress over things like that.

We believe in the manual system of doing things. Aka, you copy and paste the comment along with a link to it on a moderator's profile, thereby effecting the same result as a legitimate report button would generate.

I must be getting bored, my standard usage of language is gradually reverting to the ever pointless but much more amusing form of less common selections...

Look, there's no use reporting or flagging every user. Mods do delete game comments; it just looks like they don't because people just flood the games as fast as they get deleted.

So, just let live and move on. Nothing to see here.

Flag away.

Also:

Nope. It's still spam, it will still be removed and it is still grounds for being banned if done excessively.

There Cenere... you've been reported! Happy? =P

I think what hawkeye meant, is the missing of actual English words used in a comment... the hammer-your-keyboard comments compared to the 'Good game' I think.

Anyway, spam it surely still is, as it has no content, critiscism or elaborated shared experience in it. Well... other than that the gamer thinks it's average at best, as most users tend to state that a certain game is a 'Good game'. Futile...
