It seems like most the 'programmers' populating the App Engine community do not know how to 
use a issue tracker / ticket system and keep spamming it, and therefore my inbox, with useless 
"+1" comments.

In order to discourage the useless noise of these drones I humbly request that Google implement a 
lower character limit or some sort of moderation so that these annoying and utterly unhelpful "+1" 
comments don't clutter the issue comments.

Oh course, I expect a hailstorm of "+1" comments on this issue, but this will only highlight the need 
for filtering.

At a minimum there should be a way to only receive status change emails.

This issue isn't specific to App Engine, it's a request for a feature of Google Code
itself. I'm not sure if Google Code has an account for itself...

There is an issue tracker for Google Code, but it's absurdly hard to find, which
ironically was one of the issues. Here it is:
http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/list. You can get to it by going to the
Google Code hosting site and clicking on "What's new" which will land you on the
Google Code Google Code site :P

The relevant Project Hosting/Google Code issue:
http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=677

Star it and append feedback as necessary. Updates to that issue go to the project
hosting team directly.

I'll leave this comment open as well for the time being. I plan on going through and
removing most of the +1 comments in the very near future, if only to discourage the
practice. I'll close this ticket once I feel we have it under control.
