I regret that dot.kde.org doesn't take any measure against that kind of troll.

A moderation system, hiding the most negatively rated comments, would prevent such irrelevant offtopic posts from hijacking a whole story's comments section.

Indeed, a moderation system is badly needed. Maybe just use Slashcode?

The problem with such systems is that not only blatant troll postings get voted down but also more often than not unpopular opinions will get voted down as well. For this reason alone I always read hidden comments as well which kinda makes the whole system absurd in the first place. A voting system is nothing more than mob justice and that is something that has been abolished in most modern societies.
