Please edit this to remove everything after "...couldn't guess who would win". We don't have proper support for spoilers in comments, and saying "spoilers" isn't enough.

(I don't have facilities to edit your comment myself, just remove it.)

EDIT: Wasn't edited after a bit, so banned, alas.

Seeing as there's no obvious automated notification of replies, banning someone for not noticing a reply seems unfair.

He's really just deleted the comment -- for some reason the software uses the word "ban". The commenter is still registered.

Yes, it's unfair, yes, we should fix this at some point, but I deemed it more important to not spoil a unique anime.

I'm a little confused -- what does it mean to ban a comment? I know how one can delete a comment, or ban a user, but I've never heard the words used this way before.

Delete, really. The button just says "ban" if you're an administrator.

Ah, that's good then. =)
