A Change In Commenting Policy

 


# 2252

 

 

 

Due to the increasing number of spam comments being left on this blog I've no choice but to enact some restrictions on how comments may be submitted.  

 

 

I hate to do this, but honestly, I'm getting tired of going back through the archives to remove references to porn sites.

 

 

I've changed the settings to require a `word identification' step before a comment can be left.   I know, I HATE those myself.  But it should be at least a minor deterrent to spammers.

 

 

More importantly, any comment left on a blog entry that is more than 3 days old will await moderation.     I chose this as an interim step, to try to keep the archives clean of spam, and to reduce the time I  have to spend going back through over 2000 entries.

 

 

If this doesn't work, I fear I'll have to go to fully moderated comments.  But we'll give this compromise a try for awhile.

 

 

I apologize to my readers for  having to take these steps.  As always, feel free to use the email link in the side bar to contact me.
