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

    The slide down the slope starts.  This site does not have a large enough userbase for autisshtic ranting about hosrts files to be a problem.  In fact, those add to the discussion, much like a sprinkle of pepper adds to a good steak.  I'm already reading at -1.  What you're saying is despite me saying "I just want to see the raw information," you're going to what I see based on what people choose.  This means my info stream is now filtered by random idriots on the internet.
    The lammes filter is bad enough.

    It'll be a user preference when it goes permanent, this is just a temporary band-aid. You know us, never met a potential user setting we didn't want to have to code around...

      I should have expected that. So not a slippery slope, just a quick duct tape to be replaced by a solid ethical fix. Well, good job then, and I apologize for jumping the gun, you loser hippy on his 800th hour of looking at a fucking tree from his floater-mobile.
