Spamming in the Support section

[Jonathan Zeppettini]

Hey Tom I'm sending a copy of this to the launchpad-users mailing list
because the issue of spam will probably become more prevalent as the
support system gains popularity. The instances you point out are
annoying but this could definitely lead to a more troubling scenario
where the system is used for commercial promotion and to generate
links.

What I'd like to know is if there are any plans to allow for the
removal of bug/support comments (much the way reports/requests can be
rejected). I'm thinking something along the lines of a moderation
system where it takes more than one person to flag something as
inappropriate before it is removed.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone thinks this functionality would be
useful or whether or not this is already under development.
