How?

You can click Tag and enter "spam". (There's also the "obsolete" tag for 
hiding, say, outdated feedback from the EWS bots. Unfortunately tagging is 
purely by manual entry right now, but it works.)

Wow, I never noticed this. I thought Apple folks were using superpowers 
to obsolete comments!


If we add rel="nofollow" then I think we should also respond with 
comments warning the spammers that we are using rel="nofollow" and 
their spam will not boost their SEO. Maybe that will convince 
individual spammers to give us a break.

Also it might make sense to block comments in issues that attract unhealthy 
attention,
like this one, if bugzilla allows that
