As we all know, ROBLOX has a lot of spam in the comment section. To remove this spam, just remove the comment section. Yes, I am aware that some people actually do post feedback but atleast 80% of all comments are spam.
Tl;dr > get rid of comment = no spam
No Support > Give me three reasons why not. |

| So who gets to delete the comments? The creator of the game, or users alone? |

@Munchie
The creator of course. |

Well, this is flawed in numerous ways:
1) Logical fallacy: instead of simply getting rid of the problem, how about we work to fix it? There's a great thread suggesting that you should be required to visit a place/buy an item before commenting. That's a great idea! Why not support that because it actually FIXES the problem, not just discards it.
2) There needs to be a way to receive feedback. Comments are the most convenient way of doing so.
3) comments being disabled is optional already. If YOU don't like them, then great; you can disable them. |

| Oh wait, misread thread. No support, since the goal is to remove the spam from the comment section, not the comment section itself. Also I know a few creators of games who check the comments for feedback other than getting PM's. Also I don't really consider the "Send me Trades" comments spam, so having those gone would pretty much make things harder to trade. |

@Cog, Yes all those arguments make sense.
ROBLOX NEEDS a spam filter, But this is still good enough. |

Oh. Then If the creator gets to delete the comments, it wouldn't exactly do much. Heres why. 1. I don't expect roblox to go into the hats and delete spam from there, which is where its mostly in.
2. Also applies for popular game owners, I know I wouldn't be spending 20 minutes deleting spam. .
I would support if roblox had another badge that could symbolize being a "Comment Moderator" Which allows the player to delete innapropriate comments, and also spam. Obtained by reporting a majority of comments. |

@2tabby
I'm pretty sure swears and links are already blocked. Typical spam messages/keywords could be, too. Then again, people would catch on pretty quickly, but it would still work. |

When you're looking at more famous/high level games, the comments are useless. No one looks at them.
But low-level games see the comment section as a nearly vital resource, Both for people wondering if the game is good, And people wanting to make a suggestion for the game.
Allowing the creator to delete comments or outright removing comments removes both of these resources. |

I know, since most spam is created by alts, there should be a age limit ( I mean how long you have been on roblox) and if you do not qualify, then you just simply can not spam? Since most of the spammers that advertise their place get banned anyways. |
