RVAKWA:  The new "Civil Comments" system is much better than the old Facebook comments.  MUCH less spam now (although it still sneaks in a bit - maybe that's due to AHHA randomly choosing Yes or No instead of reading the comment he's supposed to be judging.)  I too have had a perfectly civil comment judged "below the civility threshold" - probably by someone who simply disagreed with it, but I think it's the price we've got to pay to have comments at all.
