May i suggest something slightly relevant, but probably very radical? Disable comments on AUR completely. I dont think there is a question about its usefulness in [community], not even TU's themselves http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8737 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15126 or developers http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13315 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15127 bother making (formal) bug reports in the convinience of an (informal) comment.
If someone wants to comment on a package he should use this mailing list. That will generate much more traffic here.
Community is a bit of a Franken-repo, so it exists in both worlds of the AUR and binary repos. In the near future community will be using the same system as the official repos, and will be entirely removed from the AUR. So there'll be no more comments for community packages. Cheers.
