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

    So if the line of excessive annoyance is crossed (Fidonet reference if anyone cares), the red lights flash hot and the copper comes calling, the site sort of yawns and gets a new hoster? Or maybe even entire TLD?
     
    If so, I vote for: SoylentNews.ni (News that goes ni!)

    Why change to TLD? .com, .org, .net etc are used all over the world. Theyt might be managed by the USA but they are not solely a US asset. I am a European and have 3 sites, all hosted outside the USA, and all with a TLD (.org/.net) without a national identifier.

    But if US law changes and demands, for example, a private feed of all the data we process or information on all of our subscribers we can move the site relatively easily to somewhere less restrictive.

    If we ever do change domains, I'm sold.
