When we added comments to the API documentation last January, the idea was to provide a place for members of the community to augment the documentation with their own tips or real-world examples. While this system worked well when it was first introduced, it has become increasingly difficult to manage the enormous amount of spam that it has attracted. We also found that many people were trying to use it as a support system, which it was not designed to do. Because of this, we're planning to turn off comments on the API site later this week in favor of more directed feedback options:If you need help debugging your code or understanding how something works, or if you’re interested in...
