Ever had the satisfaction of solving a problem eroded by children boasting about how easy it was to AC in -0.00s ? Why not turn the joke on them? How about word filters to convert such comments into something more useful for the rest of us:

“Easy one” -> “My underpants are even yellower now”
“AC in 1 Go!!!1” -> “AC in over 9000 go’s”
“Move to tutorial” -> “Didn’t even have to ask mom for help this time”

… etc. The filter should kick in after a while, so it won’t be immediately edited out. There’s also room for themes, like around christmas or other occasions, or specific filters for certain categories/problems.

Yeah, that stuff can get pretty grating. Would be nice if there was an option to simply not view comments when you’re logged in (YouTube for instance has such an option).

and how about something that removed links to solutions too? Probably just remove all links to be on the safe side.
