Bug 45419 is about adding a spam flag and it's quite a narrow scope so I wanted to file this bug to see if there's anything we can do about the quality of content from comments.
Too often people are treating bugs as forums/mailing list threads than doing actual bug reporting, causing some developers to ignore the bug and then open a "real" bug where people can get work done. This is backwards, what we need is a flagging system (like craigslist or stackexchange) that allows participants to flag comments so we can keep the crap out of the system. Here's a quick proposal.
A (flag) button on each comment., clicking on it gives me a little ajaxy thing:
* Me too! - This is a me too comment that doesn't help improve the bug's situation, but thanks for your +1 (when this flag is enacted the "Affects Me!" increments by one and then the comment is hidden).
* Obsolete - This comment no longer makes any sense. (So we can remove bad workarounds)
* Not constructive/Opinion - this comment doesn't help improve the bug's situation and is just noise/opinion. (This goes away when the bug turns into Opinion and then they all unhide)
* Rude/Disruptive - this comment is not the type of behavior we accept here.
* Spam (see bug 45419)
And then you just automate the voting, if a comment gets +3 on any of these it gets auto-hidden (except for spam, which should delete). At the bottom of the bug there should be a "show all comments" or something. If a certain user gets over X amount of rude/disruptive then their comment ability is removed for that project. |

In cases where a person is misdownvoted (due to whatever user mob problem) an option to reopen (with needing like +3 votes) would be needed. |
