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

    Making it abundantly clear that us staff are not ever going to be some magical paragons of virtue or whatnot keeps you lot from being able to hold me to some higher standard than yourselves.

    I don't know if TMB has been clinically diagnosed as mentally retarded, but it wouldn't surprise me. I for one certainly had higher hopes for this site when it launched. Whatever.

    You expected staff to not be ordinary human beings? You expected us to act like opinionless automatons and stay out of any discussion? Or maybe you just wanted us to have to censor ourselves to be considered professional so we can either be forced to lose any heated disagreement or not have said disagreement in the first place and get our petty tyrant on?

    No, thanks. I'm not special and I refuse your pedestal.
