Remark:
I suggest to remove/hide question 140233 as a whole. It seems to attract spam comments. The original question was valid and the first three comments are reasonable, but without any further benefit. Everything else was nonsense. I doubt that anyone will miss that question (except the spammers).
I do not know whether it has already been discussed, if valid questions can be hidden, but I start an request to do so in this specific case.

Thank you in advance.

All spam addressed and user deactivated.

We have consider having the ability to 'lock' questions/bugs to prevent adding new comments, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I feel that would be much better than hiding the question itself, but then again we don't have that feature yet... It might also happen that we hide/lock a question, and they move on to the next one...

I'll get back to the team to discus that.

Thanks for the suggestions and thanks for reporting!
