Can we clean these comments out somehow?
So apparently a long term account was hacked or something and has been posting huge lorem ipsum comments on many videos. The account appears to be banned now, but how can we clear out the posts? They are lagging out the comments section from loading.

We will have to wait for @dag or @lucky760 to get the word.
You can put his comments on ignore to minimize them till they are removed.
I see @lucky760 redacted the comments but for me some video pages still won't display the comment sections and the ones that do are ridiculously slow to open. Work in progress? Anywhere those comments were are still slowing down the loading of the comments and some won't load at all.
Can anyone see the comments on this video? They won't come up for me (one of a handful of videos that won't show the comments). https://videosift.com/video/Roger-Waters-Performs-On-The-Late-Show-with-Stephen-Colbert
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Looks like Lucky has redacted. Nothing to see here folks, please return to your regular Sifting activities. Unless you're rocking in a corner freaking out about a constitutional crisis with the firing of the director of the FBI. ;-)
Unless its just me but its still giving me issues. See above comment.

Yep. Something funny going on. Might need @lucky760.
I can confirm I can't get to that Roger Waters comments, nor on https://videosift.com/video/Purple-Mattress-Sues-Over-These-4-Safety-Questions where I wanted to edit and fix/clarify my one comment as I made it while late to work and just fubared the last paragraph all together.
https://videosift.com/video/Silence-of-The-Lambs-Bloopers-Gag-Reel takes a long time to load, but the second comment, following the redacted is a long HTML bit. Perhaps the ones that aren't loading have this same problem? Guess we'll see when @lucky760 gets on to look things over.

Even after @lucky760 redacted the comments some still appear.

It's obvious even thought the comments have been redacted they are affecting the sift. Any page with the 'redacted' comments are loading slow if at all. We got seriously sabotaged.
Forgive me if i happen to be repeating myself. I get easily excited.
Gives @siftbot a *kick.
I tried to quickly take care of this problem with the few minutes I could squeeze into my day job this morning.
The problem was just that the comments were so long the server request was timing out while fetching.
I have now just deleted all his comments. Problem solved.
Thanks for the persistence, @eric3579 and everyone else!
So comments are going to be 140 characters or less now yes?
