We need to do something about spammers right? Roblox, you have tried it by making it so you have to wait one day to post, or you have to have your account verified. Well I have a better idea. On each comment, you should have a button you can click that counts your vote to remove that comment. Say the comment has to have 3 votes to get removed and 1 person has already voted a comment to be removed, then it should say 1/3 next to the button. If the comment gets 3 votes, it is removed.

Spammers will use this for fun to delete serious comments! I think if you were going to use this system only the admins or people working directly with the ROBLOX Corporation should only be able to vote!

Are there really any "serious" comments? and if you have voted once already, you can't vote again.

While it sounds like a good idea, there are two things to bear in mind. 1. Regardless of whether this system is implemented or not, the spammers will always come back in massive waves. Sure, this may bust a few spammers, but they will always find their way back. 2. Abuse is likely. Even if a comment does not contain spam content, all it takes is three votes to wipe it away from the comments. Those are just two things to bear in mind with this system.

Mabe but I think spammers would join to gether as teams and vote together that would become horiible and yes there are serious comments all the time just spam is taking over and it's been like that for the past year!

Now according to your 2nd concern, it doesn't have to be 3 votes, I was using that as an example. And yes, I know there are still going to be spammers and this could be abused but, they would have to go through some effort to abuse this, they would either have to gather up and decide to delete this one comment, or go on different accounts and delete them. They both take a lot of effort.

But then it would take longer to get rid of all the spam. So I think 3-6 is a great idea. Like how is a spammer gonna find 2 other people to help him... Spammers are lonely. And they might get 1 if they are lucky. And the whole account switching isn't gonna happen.

You know, spammers don't have to bunch in teams. Random people will just vite to delete everything. When at least 3 people find it, the whole page is wiped out.
