Comment moderation turned on


The usual reason - Jeff Simons is throwing a tantrum again.

According to the web logs, there were 40+ attempts from an address in Plano, Texas to post personal attacks between 9:47 AM and 11:54 AM. Most were blocked by the spam detection system, but not all.

set comments to 2 comments per day per person. Delete cranky ones as well.
School yard insults and ten year old behavior gets deleted too.
Continual bickering wears out the franchise.

It's too difficult to determine who is posting. If someone posts 10 times a day as anonymous, it takes a fair amount of effort pouring through the logs trying to match up ip addresses with names.

"School yard insults and ten year old behavior gets deleted too."


That's what I've been trying to do.


"Continual bickering wears out the franchise."

Totally agree.
