[IMC-bristol] more comment abuse

[Mike Tonks]

OK. options

1) Technically possible, but to be avoided if possible.  New code makes
this easier in some ways, but I'm not that keen to explore this.

2) Probably the easiest option in the immediate term.

3) I think that would be bad / unsustainable.

4) As per 3.

The new code does have a ratings system which may help deal with this -
you can set either only show articles [comments] with 3 positive
ratings, or hide anything that gets 3 disaprovals, etc.  However, it's
likely that we will not use this, if at all possible?

Also, I will try to contact Paul and ask him what is up.

Thursday is good - Hillgrove 8pm?
