If you don’t use flickr this post won’t make much sense…. anyhow, I’ve noticed more and more images seem to be bombarded with ‘awards’. These awards are copy/pasted generally into comments of photos added to certain groups. These awards are usually awesome glitter text gifs or cats being blinded with lens flare that clutter genuine/interesting comments… here’s a selection:
This is why flickr shouldn’t allow images in comments ..
Thoughts?

I think your being too nice about those really annoying people that stick those horrible graphics into the comments. Ban them!
I’m totally with you on this one mate! any kind of image in the comments is totally unnecessary, and in my opinion, quite insulting to the photographer
Luckily I’ve not actually had any, but it is pretty annoying when they’re over other images I browse.
Although the ‘Duck award’ did make me laugh, aka the stolen-adium-logo-award!
I fucking hate these stupid awards. You can’t see the serious comments with all these ugly graphics glittering like some sorta twilight vampires. Ban these things.
