Users/bots copying comments on Opera Blog.

For that reason I'm quitting posting there. 7 of my posts were flagged as spam probably due to a "lock everything" measure instead of giving it the proper attention-fix, every retry I made was rejected plus the place is filled with spam-copy posts from bots that are not being ever removed despite the flagging. Never liked disqus and this was the nail in the coffin.

When Opera moderators are replying to spam/clone bots,
not noticing that the text is a direct duplicate from a previous post – I think there is little hope for resolution. -

@leocg Probably or not probably I'm done with it. If you look at some blog posts there it is still an unmoderated mess.

No response or proposed solution to this?
Check out comments in this blog post, almost more copy bots than normal users:

@leocg I'm not totally sure about it as I haven't seen THAT many bots/spam in any other website that uses disqus. Not that I wouldn't be happy if they would ditch it anyway since I never liked it.

@leocg Nah, I wouldn't say Opera's blog is so popular, the beta/stable comments rarely reach 50-100 comments and even the dev reaches what max 200 comments? I've seen in pcgamer.com articles with 1200+ comments and never such a tragedy.
