Mike Waddle (ID: 0000009d7301db38) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/31/2023 Does not work. It labels every comment as SPAM.

Succubi Pie (ID: 000000498219afd2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/28/2022 No more "When the world needed him most" good GOD thank you. I do wish instead of SPAM it was either blank or "-" so as to take up less visual space, but SPAM is a good indicator of unoriginal spam people post for likes.
