There is a lot of spamming in the comments of places, models, decals, gear, hats, other types of clothing and the forums. It is very annoying and because of them, it is really hard to find the good comments. This is why I made this list.

There are three ways to fight against spam: 1. REMOVING existing spam, 2. HIDING existing spam and 3. PREVENTING new spam from being posted.
I have a few possibilities to each way, and below them are details and/or disadvantages.

REMOVING
-------------
1A. Moderators should remove spam.
This would be the most efficient, but unfortunately not going to happen.

1B. There should be a 'Mark as Spam' button next to each post/comment. If 50 (maybe less) people marks one post as spam, the post will be automatically removed.
This was not my idea but I like it. Hopefully no-one has 49 spammer friends who then go to remove one legitimate post. People couldn't see how many spam-votes the posts have got.

HIDING
---------
2A. Click 'Hide This Post' button next to the spam and voilà! The post doesn't exist anymore to you.
There could be 3 levels of hiding; 1: only the first row with text is visible and it can be unhidden, 2: the post is hidden completely but it can be unhidden, 3: the post is removed from your view. All of the levels only affect you so others will still see the post.

2B. Marking a person as spammer.
All of the person's posts will be hidden. The levels from 2A apply.

PREVENTING
---------------
3A. When a person is about to comment, a message pops-up saying "Remember that spamming is against the rules and posting about free BC/Tix/Robux is spamming" or something like that. Next to it are buttons labeled 'OK, continue' and 'Cancel posting'.
It might not stop a noob who wants to spam anyway, but rule-abiding, but fooled, players might learn from that.

3B. A system detects the words 'free', 'BC', 'TBC', 'OBC', 'Tix', 'tickets', 'R$' and 'Robux' and doesn't allow posting if those words appear next to each other in the post.
Might be annoying to someone who is going to post a post like that but not as spam.

3C. A person whose posts have been removed as spam (1A/B) might get a "Post Ban" (maybe some other name).
During Post Ban, the person isn't allowed to comment items and places, post on forums, send messages to other players and is restricted to safe-chat. It might last few days, maybe a week.


Yes, I know some of these are suggested before, but I just gathered them and my own ideas to one list.

who even started the idea that spam was full proof and or that it will gain you things just because they annoy us? nawp, the people who do spam are desperate so they would even break the rules to pull it off
