I've noticed that a lot of projects featured on the front page, have had a ton of spam ASCII/ANSI art comments, which display the 2010 Doge image? And I still don't know why that is, or when this started. So if anyone could explain to me why this is happening, I would appreciate to know why; as it's getting respectively annoying to see comments flooded with ASCII/ANSI art as much as I love it.

1. great pfp
2. i'm pretty sure the text says “infect scratch with the doge” or something. i've only been seeing this recently as well, but this kind of thing has happened before. we'll pull through

The Scratch Team considers it spam, so you can report these messages if you want.

why? because there are a lot of children (peabrains) on this site and they think cluttering the comments like this is super cool and epic

seriously though, next time you see these comments feel free to report (since st says ascii/ansi=spam)
