I've noticed an increase in spammy comments that people post. Take an example of this answer. 3/4 comments are spam and only serve to distract. SO is a programming website and not a humour central, so I don't see the point of such things.
Can we please go easy on the spam and jokes, people?
What else can be done for such things? Reporting the comment doesn't seem to affect anything. Unless we have another feature to report "jokes" so they can be deleted faster?
