I think it would be a great idea to have a improved “comment section”. It could be similar to reviews on Steam games. People can rate other peoples reviews so the best review shows first and gives people an idea of if they should really play the game or if the game is just a time waster. Personally, I think it’s stupid that people can remove the comment section. That feature should definitely be removed also. Spam would also most likely become obsolete because (hopefully) people rate up the good reviews about the game. A simple “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” does not tell new players much of why you chose what you chose. They should have to give a reason behind it. Just an idea.

A review based comment system is a great idea. Some ideas I’ve had on the topic
- Only people who have actually played the game can comment (why is this not already a thing?)
- A rating system like the YikYak app. If it gets too negative its deleted - like community moderation. This isn’t perfect but its far better.
- I’d really like to see star ratings come back but I can understand why they were removed. Showing a rating alongside a review would be very good though.
99% of the time people only pick 1 star or 5 stars in a 1-5 scale, google the YouTube blog post on this and you’ll see that’s also the reason why they switched to like/dislike instead.

Yeah I remember them saying that’s why they took it away. If the audience of ROBLOX was older this wouldn’t be as much of a problem I don’t think
Good idea, top rated comments are seen first when entering the comment section, so you can actually get some legitimate/most agreed with reviews on the game,
I don’t want comments to be like reviews. I want them to be comments with all the spam gone and the most liked comments are higher up for a certain time.
I think I’d rather see a separate “reviews” tab next to the comments. The comments section is more like a casual thing (like a group wall).
Only allow those who played the game to comment would be wonderful.
