When it comes to repair, farmers have always been self reliant. But the modernization of tractors and other farm equipment over the past few decades has left most farmers in the dust thanks to diagnostic software that large manufacturers hold a monopoly over.
Farmers using Eastern European cracking software for their tractors, and MS, Apple, etc. want to stop them.

Sounds like setting anything moderated Spam to an initial collapsed state regardless of its score would solve that. I'm really leaning towards that as a solution at the moment.

Interesting. That oughta work. Maybe set by the preferences|comments menu: spam set to -1 modifier - which would take the spam and drop it to -2 karma, below the -1 threshold?
So, if someone reads at -1, uncut and raw, with the spam modifier set to -1, they will see everything but spam.
( I tried to do that before I posted, did not work for me, I got those spams anyway )
A lot of stuff that should be moderated spam is not moderated thus and still gets through... but I can't change the moderation as its at -1 already, and its gotta be upmoderated back up to zero before anyone else can downmoderate it as spam.
Maybe let us moderate even an existing -1 post to be spam, if nothing else, to get the spam designator in place, even if it does not affect the post's karma.

Also a good idea. One that's been brought up by takyon several times.

Sure is better to not jump and do stuff before thinking about it a bit, eh? I have spent more time building junk that way. Gotta be busy, but hadn't thought it out well yet.
Sure is an odd hour you mess with this stuff... before bed, or first thing in the morning? ( for me, before bed... I am really bad about staying awake all night... cuz I'm not sleepy ).

Oh, incidentally, the preferences|comments menu does not show up for me now... did you disable it?

5-11AM generally for coding. That's when the Adderall I take for my ADHD is working best. Deployments we mostly do on weekend evenings/nights because there are less people to annoy with them around then.
