YouTube Users Fight Back Against New Comment System

Will bulk moderation and automatic filtering of ASCII porn be enough to save the YouTube comment system from the spam backlash of G+ intergration?

It’s been a few weeks now since Google substituted YouTube’s famously terrible comment system for a Google+ based approach. Given all this time operating under their real names, one would assume the YouTube audience would have gotten their act together. Unfortunately for YouTube, this is most definitely not the case.

With the new comment system various restrictions were lifted because perhaps Google believed that with a uniform online identity people would play nice.
