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.

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. ;-)

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.

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?
