How exactly is that going to prevent spam in comments?

This won't prevent it, but I'm not sure hiding/disabling comments won't do more harm than good.

In other words, my objection was just that we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

IMHO comments/instructions on the appdb entries are more important than the occasional spam.

If the problem is so important, would it be feasible to add sthg like a captcha to at least avoid automated spam?
