Comment spam ("Post this on 5 hats to get free robux") and scams ("Go to this link, enter your credentials, and get free robux") are a huge issue on Roblox, and countless people have lost accounts. You could just tell these people to be more careful, but many are young players who don't understand that not everyone means what they say.

Here are 3 ideas to stop this issue:

1. A duplicate post filter for comments

It's similar to what we have for the forums, but for comments. If I post "xyz123" on one item, I could not post that on another item for an hour, or whatever time Roblox sees fit.

2. A flood check for comments

Like idea #1, it's similar to what we have for the forums. If I post a comment, I cannot comment on ANY other item for 90 seconds.

3. Harsher punishments for scamming

Many people simply post scams from the accounts they take over. While these accounts DO get banned, it's often not in time and countless others fall for the scams. I suggest an IP-based punishment, such as a week, but increasing per offense. Although people can get around this, it will still help, especially with the aid of ideas #1 and #2.

Support? Great!
Don't support? Please give a valid reason.
Either way, please take the time to respond, and thanks for reading.

How can you NOT support? Comments were meant to be commented by every person ONCE in his/her opinion on how the game was or needs more work on. It's like YouTube all over again.

And by that I mean, they've been running this site for years, but still haven't figured out how to stop or reduce spamming.

Instead of ranting, you know there is appeals system you can use.

@Joife

You can't stop it, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try, because that could mean a 10% decrease, which is better than none.

You can just ignore it but there are many who fall for countless scams.
