So MANY spammers

Spammers are everywhere and I have no idea why is that. Basically every submission has at least one comment like

That's a masterpiece of game. But rate my game, pls!

WHY? It's a game jam. I don't care if someone likes my game or not. I want feedback to improve and there are so many people that just ignore that. instead they just have some text that they copy to tens of submission pages and then they get like ~50 ratings and my game - it has 9 ratings.  The worst thing is that 3 of them are spammers anyways so I just got 6 players-worth of feedback.  I'm not even gonna mention those 3 people, because that would just give them the fame they want.

I mean, I understand that some people just want to compete so they think that the more ratings they get the more votes they will get, but at the same time, what's the point? There isn't even any real prize from this jam. I would prefer 3 comments worth of pure feedback than 100 comments-worth of mindless commpliments
