#### Comment Spam

Lately, the articles' comments have been spammed by advertisers for drugs and links of stupidity. (not really, but they are extremely stupid)
DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING RELATED TO PILLS OR STUFF OF THAT SORT IN SPAM. THEY WANT YOU TO CLICK ON THEM AND BUY THEM, BUT DO NOT.
Spammers, the stuff you advertise is stupid, (can't the world be more normal?!) and we will do anything it takes to stop your spam.
I have one thing to say about spammers. Spammers and advertisers are worse than stepping in a pile of dog poo on the ground. They do not deserve to exist.
Edit: Correct that. Worse than falling into a giant pile of dog poo.
It is just my opinion, and doesn't necessarily reflect the opinions of the entire community. But spammers are the internet's worst problem.

We did delete the comments and put in a new feature that'll make it much quicker, but for some reason there isn't a feature to IP ban people. :\

For lack of any other way to stop the spam, I have temporarily disabled commenting on the Ditto Trick page, which seems to be the spammers' main target. When Abwayax implements a way to either find and IP ban the spammers or put some kind of restriction on what can be posted, I will un-disable the comments.

I remember this happening at my old (computer style) forum so I closed it down. (it ended up getting too much)
