I haven't actually encountered any submission spam so far. Glad something is in the works for comments.

If you follow a few topics like #technology, you'll see it pretty regularly.

Makes sense. I think what got me with this was the huge impact on usability. A single comment almost made me back out from the rest of the comments due to sheer length.

I think what's needed is for the site to autoblock comments that contain html or something. mk

I agree. 90% of comment spam is straight up HTML BS.

If you filter #spam a lot of times the post will be tagged as an add-on tag which seems to filter it out of most people's feeds.
