Flood control

- A CAPTCHA has been introduced to control scorecard comment spam. On every 21st scorecard comment, you will be presented with a CAPTCHA to complete, in order to post your comment. This has been implemented to ensure that humans are commenting on website scorecards.
Scorecard comment voting
- "Comment votes have been disabled for this site"
- When a site's reputation has become controversial i.e. there is a discrepancy between high and low ratings, the ability to agree or disagree with existing comments is deactivated. In most cases, this is an automatic response from WOT and is not an action taken by WOT Staff.

- Only positive comment votes are removed when comments are changed. Negative comment votes will remain when a comment is edited,
including changes to the comment category. - Source: Timo
