Adding admin-privileged user ID into bannedUsers of the Comments Plugin

Just found another interesting “bug” similar to the generatorName override. I tried “banning” an admin user (which is myself) from the comments of my hub page by adding the ID into the bannedUsers list and got some bizarre effects. When I re-visited my hub page, the admin comments were hidden, but I could still comment. And after a refresh, weirdly, they showed up. But in a private window, they’re hidden.

      That might be due to some VPNs spamming the comments (not sure what happened there).

        @VioneT Basically, Cocell’s IP was flagged for spamming comments on a chat, but now for some reason he can comment on a filtered (non-feedback) chat (like mine). Probably got a new IP that’s unblocked, just like my case when the main IP of my home router resets to a new one that’s unblocked, so I could now comment.
