Ok, so after a countless number of people have griped at me for my comment registration system and the difficulties it causes for them, I have reactivated “anonymous” commenting, meaning that you no longer have to log in to leave a comment. All you have to do now is provide your email address (which will be kept private, not posted, and not spammed or sold), fill in a screen name, and there you go – providing in a webpage address will get you one visit (me) as well, but that is purely optional. Oh, and you can, indeed, still log in if you feel so inclined.
Sadly, and in the past 12 hours since I reactivated “anonymous” commenting, my spam filters have caught no fewer than 35 spam comments… I certainly was never making that much up. As usual, if anything goes wrong, if you have any issues, or if some portion of my webpage is broken, please drop me a note at “linoge (at) wallsofthecity.net”.
(And it does take Movable Type a few seconds to process any comment request… not entirely sure why, but this seems to be “normal”.)
well that was stupid of me | popped my bubble | blame the spammers |
Yeah. I’ve often wanted to comment but gave up before I could get there.
Sorry ’bout that. The decision was made before my installation of TypeKey’s anti-spam measures, and then I forgot to unmake it. Things seem to be working out alright at the moment, so comment away!
