This is just a rough draft of an idea I thought up. Please remember that this idea is a work in progress, and if I may have missed anything, please point it out. We all know that the comment sections (especially in games) are plagued with spam and scams. Links to websites that steal your account, unwanted advertisements for groups and games, and copy-and-paste spam/scams that do absolutely nothing usually make up a large portion of comment sections. These are all things that many players have complained about, but there is nothing to stop these posts. My idea is a custom filter in the 'Configure' tab of a game or item that has two areas where the creator can type specific words that will prevent a user from posting a comment that contains the certain word(s). Example: The creator of a game doesn't want spam from users saying to go to 'website'. So, they could type in the name of the website and/or any words that will often and/or only occur in comments like those, and submit it into the system for that specific game. When a user tries to post a comment containing those key words, the system prevents them from posting it, in the same way it prevents a user from posting a comment containing something that is against ROBLOX's rules. I believe that this would greatly benefit the ROBLOX community by reducing spam, unwanted and/or hateful comments, and scams in the comment sections. Please give feedback on this idea so that I may better develop it. Sincerely, popit123doe

There's always a way for someone to bypass a filter, especially if it's a blacklist. I suggested this before, but why not make place comments similar to Steam game reviews? Reviews marked as helpful go up and are shown first, and maybe there could also be a way to flag comments as spam.

That's a pretty good idea.
