Maybe it could be useful to give the project's bug-contact a possibility to mark some comments as "useless" (or even spam), which would sort of hide them (I'm thinking of youtube here, maybe a line saying "hidden comment by Some Name, click to <here> show"). This would not stop those comments from being made in the first place but once they are marked, it may discourage them from me-too-ing. However, I'm not sure if that wouldn't stop shy people from making comments which do contain useful information. Kjell
