Google+ wages war on spam comments

4 hrs.

Sensitive to those who like to keep their streams as pure as possible, Google+ is advancing its aggressive stance against spam.?

Nandini Kappiah, a software engineer at Google who works on preventing spam and abuse on Google products, wrote on G+ about the latest development in the never-ending war against comments that clutter up posts.?

Kapplah provided screenshots of how this will work, which you can see above.

• Instead of showing moderated comments inline, G+ will now group and hide them behind a small indicator just beneath the comment count.
  
• You can keep the comments if you want, or you can choose to hide them from your stream.
  

These changes come after a post in December that announced a new comment spam moderation system in which G+ would identify possibly spammy comment on a post and immediately mark it for users to review. When it does that:

• Other viewers won't see the comment at all.
  
• You'll see it grayed out, with the option to remove or restore.
  
• The commenter "won't notice any difference (unless their comments get removed, of course)."
