Commenting
This was initially a rather long page about all the changes made to commenting. I decided to delete it, and only keep what you need to know:
I have a plugin, Akishmet, which (hopefully) will catch all spam. If your comment is mislabeled as spam and deleted (if you posted it and it still doesn’t show up in a few days, but it was genuine), let me know. I still don’t know if it will be over-zealous or not.
The following comments will be added to the moderation queue, that is, they won’t be added to a post’s comments directly:
- Comments posted by someone who hasn’t posted before
- Comments containing 2 or more links
- Comments containing words on the “beware!”-list. Regarding that – I don’t censor genuine comments, it’s just a way to stop the really obscene spam comments from being added. If I see that the comment is genuine I’ll approve it.
- Comments that somehow catches the spam fighting plugin’s attention.
I hope all this won’t keep you from commenting, I love all the comments I can get!
Cheers

Whoa, that plugin really works! Now my inbox isn’t completely cluttered by countless of spam messages awaiting approval. Yay! *is happy*
