Oh this has been going on for at least a year now, maybe more. It's just been going on for SO long now with zero changes that I figured I might as well say something. Yet another example "this is why we can't have nice things": Itch comments are one of the few comment sections left on the net that aren't constantly swept by 6 different algorithms that delete anything they don't like instantly. It's just down to creators to find and kill stuff. So of course that openness is abused.
