Comment moderation now implemented at Living Wittily

Written by

Unfortunately there have been several unwanted comments posted on Living Wittily. And unfortunately I am not able to check the blog daily at present. Fortunately a couple of good friends alerted me to the problem. So for the time being I have implemented the comment moderation protocol, which means if you comment your comment will only appear once I've seen it.

I hope in a few weeks when my broadband is set up again to revert to the open forum approach. But for now I want the security of controlling who puts what on the blog. Apologies to all who regularly come by and comment – but responsible bloggers will understand the problem and the reasons for using moderation. And thanks to my friends who let me know there was a problem.

Once life regains equilibrium I think I'll do a couple of posts on comments, blogging and the difference between good interactive discussion and banal if mischievous nonsense. Or maybe not – the differences are obvious.

We do undertsand; we do comment using banal nonsense sometimes, we are even mischievous sometimes, but we will alwya repsect you and your blog. Lots of folk moderate comments so don’t feel bad (I’m just too stingy to pay for a blog that does so!)
Btw, that dongle is clearly not as good at spelling as your good self! 😉

Oh but present company excluded, Catriona. Your banal and michievous stuff is well OK – it’s the spam, robot and other nonsense that is the problem. And yes, the spelling hasn’t always been up to my yoosual compitense, but I have been fruztraited by this dongle thing ;)I am however going to revise the offending post, just to shoe I can spel

I’ve just had to implement moderation after a troll attack – maybe it’s the season! I’d say my comments from one character had become malicious and personal, rather than merely mischievous. Not good. 🙁
