Every ad will be filled with bots and trolls

This and why are they so worried about upvote manipulation? If some comment is even slightly anti left its gonna be buried anyway and some resident r/bestof dude will post a 69page copy pasta "disproving" the ad and it will be on the top

nah this is gonna be zero drama, the advertisers can remove comments

Good lol. I hope every one of them ends up like that birth control ad that didn't disable comments and ended up being a 4chan shitpost.

Unironically, they should implement this policy with every ad, and extend the 24 hour period to whatever time period reddit locks comments for good.

For normal posts, that's six months. But on ads, commenting is open so long as the poster allows it.

I missed this one. Care to share?

oh is the sub on lockdown again? keeping the rabble out is always a good thing

Not that I know of

Why hope? You can be the change that you want to see.

That seems shockingly reasonable.

that shit had me laughing

I hope you win in court, automod

dangerously based

You know, stereotypically speaking, conservatives tend to be more the gun toting type.

One would think that a group of people who had guns and knew how to use them would be way less of a pussy than the whiny ass bullshit in your link.

That's all just a bunch of losers whining.

knew how to use them

Well there's your problem.

if they knew how to use them tact-ti-kewl barbie shit wouldn't be a multi-billion dollar industry

lol

This is the first good change Reddit has ever made to their site.

I for one, look forward to even MORE Sanders spam!

Okay, so first of all, you've just made a reply to me that is in two unrelated parts. The first is unrelated to anything I said. As long as you comport yourself in this manner, you will only be met with derision. It is a nonsense method of communication.
