Add a filter to comments.

When the submit button for a comment is pressed,
it will simply check if the comment contains the following combinations of words:
"Unlimited", followed by "BC","TBC", or "OBC".
"Free", followed by "tix", "tickets", "bux", or "robux".
"Builderman", "Shedletsky", etc. followed by "told me".
(just use basic javascript regular expression matching! :D)

If it contains those words, it wont post the comment and a message box will appear saying "You're comment contains words that are filtered", or any kind of text like that. The box will have an "OK" button to close it. It could say what the filtered word was and that its spam, and like the old saying goes, "Theres no way to get free tix or robux"!

If the comment contains the filtered words and isnt spam, i dont know what kind of comment it would be, but the typer can just re-word it and not use those particular phrases. :3

If you have any suggestions to make this better or more words to filter, share your feedback!
If you dont support, give a reason why.
Thanks in advance.

Yes! That too! This will completely cut down on spam. Comments are meant for stating opinions on a hat, and ive wasted so much robux on my main for years because I dont have no idea what a hat is like before I buy it >_>

3/4 support.

What if you aren't spamming, just commenting on the item or what someone said? Maybe the words need to be tweaked. But still, it's a pretty good idea.

It will constantly have to be updated- users will find ways around the censor.

True, but what kind of comment would have those spam phrases in it? If they had those phrases in it, it probably isnt a comment worth listening to anyway. It would be a pretty rare occasion...

My idea, that I have posted numerous times before, was that users have to actually buy the item and own it for at least 1 hour before they can post a comment.

For places, they would have to play them for at least one hour before they could post a comment.

@robot, also true, but its a very simple implementation, and they might have to add a bunch of more words to filter, but it will work amazingly for the time being, and once they add enough words, almost every spam will dry up and wither away... :3

@robot, that will also work incredibly, too.

Even after 9 years they never cut down the slightest bit on spam.
Its ridiculous going on a hat and seeing 8 year olds go UGM COPI ND PAIST DIS, or seeing a maturer person like 1waffle1 stupidly spam on every known hat in roblox. "SEND ME TRADES".
I personally think asking people to send you trades on comments is the only good way to get trades, but 1waffle1 goes beyond the limits.

ALSO ANOTHER WAY: -

They can detect if a player commented the same comment twice on the same item and on other items, and if he does, it wont post the comment, or whatever the admins feel like doing,

I believe you can use regular expression matching to find patterns in the characters of the word you give

@Person, they don't get insta-banned. The comment is just deleted and they are told it's filtered, they don't HAVE to tell everyone they got OBC.

@person, now, why exactly, would anyone say that on the comments of an item? Or perhaps anything?
