currently the comments system is very basic. you can just post text. there is no spam filter. you don't get notifications for new comments. you can't reply to comments or delete comments on your own item. so here is a few ideas i have: 1. add text formatting youtube and many other places with comments have text formatting like bold, italic and underline. 2. add replying to comments currently the only way to "reply" to comments is to type in "@[the name of the person you're replying to]". i think it would be better if you could actually reply to comments 3. add notifications make it so you get a notification whenever you get a reply to your comment or get a comment on your own item. 4. add a like and dislike system if your comment gets a lot of likes, your comment will be at/near the top under "top comments". if your comment gets a lot of dislikes, it will be removed or be put under review. 5. instead of making a 1 hour long wait time between comments, maybe add a captcha. captchas are an effective way to stop bots. 6. if your account is less than a month old (or has a history of spamming), make it so comments have to be approved before they can be posted. 7. make it so you can post decals in your comment 8. allow deletion of comments on your own item if you support this, please leave a reply below. if you don't support this, please leave a reason why. Number of times opinion has changed: A lot.

support, but what if you have a very popular place that constantly gets comments? you should be able to turn off the notifs if you're the place owner and people keep commenting on it. forever screaming

Support all except maybe text formatting. I'd rather see that on the forums than in comments. People will just spam random colorful things which would be annoying.

100% support except for the part where you said "also, make it so you have to play/own the game/item before you can comment" because then what if someones commenting on something thats offsale or like a roblox artifact and the're trying to say "OGM THIS IS SO EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!" (not what i ever talk like that) they wont be able to one of my ideas was that its divided into two sectons: people who own the item who commented and people who dont own the item who commented If you have trouble with simple counting, use the following mnemonic device: one comes before two comes before 60 comes after 12 comes before six trillion comes after 504. This will make your earlier counting difficulties seem like no big deal.

@Dorito9000 what is the point of saying "TOO EXPENSIVE CRI"? "If you have trouble with simple counting, use the following mnemonic device: one comes before two comes before 60 comes after 12 comes before six trillion comes after 504. This will make your earlier counting difficulties seem like no big deal." that is a weird signature... is that even a signature? Number of times opinion has changed: A lot.
