Well, sorry everybody, lately I’ve been getting so much obnoxious comment spam, I’ve had to make the standards by which comments are automatically approved a bit more rigorous. In the last month, I’ve been getting a lot of these fake compliment comments, so now if you use certain complimentary phrases your comment will automatically deleted. I won’t even see it for moderation. It’s unlikely that a real user would end up using any of these phrases, but if you’re finding that your comments aren’t getting published within a day, feel free to ping me. Most of you have my email address — haha, make the mistake of posting that on the site for a while and just got tons of useless spam.

The really annoying thing is that these spammers are so unsavvy, they don’t even know about the rel=”nofollow” stuff. They get no benefit from posting here whatsoever, especially since their comments almost never end up live on my site. I’m just trying to cut down on the volume of comments that I have to manually moderate.
