Commenting on articles
Ten XP a comment, once a minute. The same rules as the forum, because it is the same conversation.
Last reviewed 3 September 2026
Every article, review and guide takes comments at the bottom. You need an account, and a confirmed email address.
What a comment earns
10 XP, on a one-minute cooldown. A second comment inside that minute posts normally and simply pays nothing — the cooldown exists so that a conversation is worth more than a fast typist.
Comments count toward the same 100 XP daily cap as everything else, and they earn no Bounty. Bounty comes from finishing things rather than from talking.
Replies and votes
You can reply to a comment rather than to the article, and vote on one. A reply notifies whoever you replied to, and mentioning somebody by name notifies them too — both appear in the bell at the top of the site.
Editing and deleting
Your own, at any time. Deleting a comment that has replies leaves the replies in place; they belong to the people who wrote them.
What gets one removed
The same rules as the forum — what gets a post removed covers them. In short: argue with the argument, not the person, and nothing that needs a warning label.
Use Report rather than replying to something that breaks a rule. Replying gives it the argument it was looking for and puts you in the middle of something you were trying to stop.
Comments on game lists are separate
A published list takes its own comments, and whoever made the list decides whether it takes them at all. See make and share a game list.
Did this answer your question?
One tap. It decides which answers we rewrite first.
Still stuck?
Both of these reach a person. Tell us what you tried — it saves a round trip.
