I did say this in another thread but I don't think anyone saw it so might as well post it in my own thread. I have an idea to remove spam. My idea would be like the thing how Viacom did it with sponge bob videos on YouTube. What they did is that they made a bot where it finds sponge bob videos and puts it on a list. Those videos on the list are later taken down automatically. This process can be similar with how I am thinking. What I'm thinking is that there would be a bot. That bot will detect any messages repeated the same time at least 120-400 times. It would put those comments on a list. When they are on that list, they would be automatically removed with ether [ Content Deleted ] or just removes it entirely. Please tell your opinion about this idea.

Or we could use reCaptchas. Not the ones with the swirly words, but like "click the picture of a coin" or something.

That would be a good way to remove spam messages. However, I wasn't talking about blocking or preventing more. Just removing whats there. But, we can block this by adding Floodcheck Filers Captchas (even though I hate it but yes maybe a simple one as a coin or a roblox icon) And making it 13+ as most spammers are under 12 since they believe that it would actually work. This would severely reduce spam messages and I think I should put this into one section.

Yep. This removed many YouTube poops as well, thus, devastating the YouTube poop community. And they did that for more profit on their sponge bob movie.

Support. It's difficult to find real comments that actually talk about the game/item, and I'd like this to be fixed.

The downside is that it might delete some legit comments such as "lol"

Greetings at 5 PM at my area! I think I can expand on my idea on how to remove spam messages! First of all, it should delete comments that are at least 84% the same that way it can delete more spam comments that are slightly different because of a name change in the actual spam message. Second of all, there are also other spam comments saying "come to my game or place". With my current idea, it wont remove it since its always different every time since these messages of advertisements aren't by bots. What we can do to fix this is that we can add a bot where it searches for all comments with specific words or sentences such as "come to my place" or "free admin at my place". It would find those comments and put them into a list in which its further deleted. I think both my ideas I mentioned would be a good way to get rid of EXISTING spam and hopefully, there can be an idea (probably already is) where it can block spam messages. As I said, we can block spam messages from being sent in commentary by -Floodcheck (Which means you can't comment in a certain amount of time and you have to wait) -Captchas (even though I hate it but yes maybe a simple one as a coin or a roblox icon or can be as complicated as a sentence depending on how much you comment per day) -Filters (Words or sentences that would be blocked such as "Free robux" or "Free Admin" or "Come to my place" and etc.) Does anyone have more suggestions about blocking spam from being sent? Feel free to post here. And tell me your opinion about my idea.

Support. Suggestion: It could also add a temporary ban from the site for posting said messages. Such as a one or two hour ban. I tried being normal once, and it was boring.

@goc Agreed. Maybe a reminder at first, then a warning, then a 2 hour ban, then a 24 hour ban, and so on. This rule of spam should be more enforced in the TOS.
