Congrats to the wannabe APK noobtard for advancing the site's codebase despite me having extremely limited time to play. I added three lines of code and now Spam modded comments (and comment trees) auto-collapse and you can still moderate a comment as Spam even if it's already at the minimum score. Honestly, the folks using any other downmod on obvious Spam annoy me more than the noobtard does but that annoyance at least is now history. Changes are to hot code only, I'll put them in the repo as part of my next pull request.

Suck it, noob. --TMB

    Not clear about what you're saying, Buzz? You are just a Arkansas version asshole, since moving to the "Mother of Arkansas" Tennessee? Or that your idea of professionalism is reducing yourself to the level of an apk, which I can totally see you doing. But, my point was, as a professional code-monkey, you should never take it personally. And never lobby for the suppression of aristarchus submissions, as you have in the past. Professionalism, Busstard, there are Codes of Conducts for professionals, that do not apple to mere mortals. You are above this.

    No, no. Don't mind me. I'm just enjoying the show between you two.

    How about an unprofessional code-monkey? Is taking it personally ok then?

    I agree with TMB. He has taken this discussion beyond the professional level. And Codes of Conducts is dog whistle for turning the site over to SJWs. Never!!!

    Nope. Not happening. And my N, O, P, and E keys are in no danger of wearing out, so don't expect a different answer any time soon.
