Perhaps an article only calls for a "good tip, thanks" kind of response. I’m a bit conflicted on this. Perhaps an article only calls for a “good tip, thanks” kind of response.

it doesn’t have to be a long EULA agreement but just a line or two saying you don’t tolerate spamy type comments.

if you enforce it consistently then over time your comments become more valuable to the article, people see they’re not gonna get away with a “great tip,thanks” response and leave more relevant comments which in itself leads to more comments of higher quality.

thanks for mentioning commentluv!
