Incredibly Low Quality Comments

Hi, I'm a fairly new member of Chess.com. A few years ago, I joined the Speedsolving community, a community based around solving Rubik's cubes. One thing I noticed about the Speedsolving forum was that people don't tolerate stupid comments. If someone posts a meaningless or frivolous comment, the other members don't take it lightly.
After joining the Chess.com community, I was kind of shocked by the quality of comments, considering that this is a community based around the study of an intellectual game - Chess.
"VERY EASY", "COOL", "FIRST", "WOW", "NICE", "INTERESTING", "WHAT" - these comments are ubiquitous on the forum, especially on the Daily Puzzles.
These moronic comments reduce the quality of the forum, and make it much more difficult and tedious to find useful comments from decent chess players.
When you look at the ratings of the helpful members, they are significantly higher than the ratings of the members who post the aforementioned platitudes.
I know that this issue has been brought up before, but obviously the attempts were thwarted by the spammers of this site.
Please please please stop the madness.
WOW
This rubik's cube community sounds cooler than a chess site.
It sounds like it holds a lot of squares.

Shoulda been ere last night, mate! We was discussin' quantum theory and drinkin' black and tans.
Then the ghost of Dylan Thomas walked in and started a poetry jam.
Magnus stopped by for speed chess and a lecture,
Refuted the King's Gabit leaving no conjecture.
The Russians was discussin' Dostoevsky and Bulgakov,
I showed them Rubic's Cube, they said bugger off!
build a fence around this site and call it an insane asylum.

I missed the black and tans?
is that a racial slur?
incredibly low-quality attempt at humor
Nothing racist about this.

Yikes!! Looks deadly; who makes that?
Lucky for me I don't drink (anymore)
Since black and tans are popular in Ireland, and since my Irish ancestors were forced to leave a perfectly good island by the brutal oppression of the British Empire, I'd prefer you to consider this a political comment rather than a racial one assuming they can be considered separately.
Some of my favorite pubs make it.
Luckily for me, I still drink.

Ay, most of me ancestors also came from the Emerald Isle. County Cork and elsewhere. Me Irish heart was a wee bit too fond of the ale, so I had to quit. It was bad for me chess

A high quality comment.
See, OP, there are some posts that can rise to the level of a Rubik's cube forum.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but, you quit drinking to reach a 1279 level in chess?
You need a black and tan!
There are places for serious discussion of chess, but chess.com is usually not one of them. I won't mention any here for obvious reasons, but you should be able to find some with a little research.
Having said that, there are sometimes interesting discussions here, even if a much stronger version of Sturgeon's Law seems to be operative most of the time.
