This feature was rejected 9/8/2005: When we redo comments, we can just give bonuses for strong comments if warranted.

Nah, I think giving a single point for playing a game is enough.

whoops. Sorry, I wrote the title and posted.

Anyways, this is going to cover two things the relate.

The first is how I think that if I'm logged on and I post a message then if I leave the Name section blank then the comments will show

havacoman wrote on...

havacoman would be green or red or blue or some other color showing that he did that. If anybody can think of a better way for instead of leaving it blank please tell.

The other one is gaining/losing points for good and bad comments. Here is 3 examples of comments and how they could be shown to gain or lose points if the name is colored.

1.3 points:That was great but I noticed you made a missing page after clicking on the link fire on choose an element. Please fix that mistake and republish. Oh, and I also think you could be a little less biased please.

2.-3 points:That sucked! I could of done way better you loser! Your a disgrace to this community. I can't believe how biased you are!

3.(The following comment will have multiple negatives depending on how many times the person does this)

What the fuck. You are a bitch at makeing games!

The first time a person does this they get -10 points! The second time they get -15 and a suspension from comments for 1 week. The third time they get -20 points and a suspension for a month from commenting. The final time they get -50 and an expulsion from commenting.

Oh, and a fourth would also be -3 points and it would be making a one word random letter or OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh for 3000 letters.

I can see giving an "admin bonus" for good comments. However, all we have to go by right now for who wrote what comment is the name that is typed in a box. I hope to change that soon (i.e., tie it to a username), but for now that it is what it is.

I though you could log the user? Like for an admin my understanding was, especially for the programmer that the user who typed in the box was somehow visible to you...

Well .... kinda. But that's more statistical logging data; it's not very helpful/useful for figuring out who did what.

I've had some thoughts about redoing comments -- for example:
 - letting author decide what variables to display (currently, it says " joe with a Score of 221")
 - giving "levels" for author ( score between 1 and 10 is novice, 11 and 30 is master, etc)
 - ???

Of course if you can think of some other ideas for what new game comments would be like (aside from my two thoughts there), that could be a good FWW post.
