[RATING COMMENTS] We can rate games by giving it a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down, which is pretty helpful. But with all these comments not relating to the game anymore, it's hard to find any actual comments, which could help the creator of the game remove/add updates. So, this idea is to allow verified users 24h+ old to like/dislike a comment. Yes, the creator can always dislike a negative comment on his game, but if other players agree with that comment, that dislike wouldn't do him much good. This can also be some type of way to combat the spam on games, which can include: advertising, flame, bait. [CATEGORIES] So far, there's not a lot we can do against people who spam in the comment section. So, what if there were a type of organizer that separates valid comments from the spam? Like said, this could help the creator of games/clothing/models reply to comments that actually refer to the said item. [REPLY TO COMMENTS] This idea just seems like a ripoff to Youtube comments, but it still seems like a good idea. Currently in the forums, we're allowed to reply to others, since that option is given to us. However, when we finish our reply and post it, it doesn't show who we're replying to, so it just looks like a regular reply to the thread. If users were allowed to reply to comments, this could possibly reduce the amount of comments on the page. So this would be able to stop making conversations in the comment area, so other comments can be seen(instead of having to press 'End' just to load more comments). Space is infinite, just like human stupidity.

[RATING COMMENTS] I am definitely for a rating system in the comments. [CATEGORIES] I think this could be solved by a top comment section. [REPLY TO COMMENTS] Definitely, replying is an essential feature that all comment sections need.

Thanks for the positive feedback! I do hope that they make something like this, because it can greatly help developers and make the comment section look cleaner. Space is infinite, just like human stupidity.

I don't like posting on a thread that I made in which I was the last to comment/reply, but I do wish for others to see this and reply with their criticism on this. I think these are all good ideas, since they can help developers and the community as a whole, but I'm wondering if the people who complain about the spam in the comment areas are just wanting to complain about something in general. Space is infinite, just like human stupidity.
