I am tired of all that lousy comments spam getting in the way of the real comments. Something has to be done about it, and believe it or not, there are some relatively simple solutions that could easily fix the problem.
Solution 1: Make a simple filter.
=========================
This one is so simple that I could almost do it myself. (Even with my limited knowlege of JavaScript and PHP) Create a filter so that anything containg the words: "Post this message" or "Come to my place" would be un-able to be posted. This filter could be easily updated to stop the latest spam attacks and while it is true that filters can be bypassed fairly easily, this would serve as a very good deterant for those who would spam this way.
Solution 2: One Report fits all.
========================
When a mod deletes a comment, make it so that not only that comment is deleted, but also any comments containing the same text. The deleted comment would also be stored to prevent future comments with the same text from being posted. This would be an especialy useful tool for stopping the "Post this Message" type spam attacks.
Solution 3: A comments rating system
===============================
Make a comments rating system to allow users to rate a particular comment as either good or bad. (Similar to the system on youtube) If a comment gets a rating of -5 or worse then the comment would be immediately removed. This would be a great way to give the mods a break and allow the users to help with getting rid of the spam.
Let me know what you think,

Yea, if only we could get one of the devs to see this. It would probably take them like 5 minutes to implement a simple filter. |

=========================
Maybe if they update it regually then it would work.
Solution 2: One Report fits all.
========================
It would be great for the "Post this message" spam, but it would be hard with the "Come to my place" spam unless the user posted the same message on different items.
Solution 3: A comments rating system
===============================
Good idea.

i like #1 and #3 there simple and awsome |
|

Solution's one and two, awesome.
Solution 3
Kind of bad,
People will go on a negative comment raid clicking the thumbs down thing or - or whatever,on all robloxian comments so that means people will mark the good comments as bad,hat does that mean?Then all the feedback is gone...
The rating comment system is good but needs to be change a little bit. |

See? Everybody found at least one of these solutions to be a good idea. I'll bet the admins will too. |

One ABLOULTY FINAL LAST RESORT is to stop new users from joining ROBLOX to allow mods to get rid of all spammers and spam, and after it is all done, they will allow new users to join. I don't really suggest this, because this could really hurt roblox. |

@bestbud1
There are other last resorts that would be much better than that. But who needs a last resort when you have all these great suggestions. :D |
