Moderation

A short while back, I noticed a blog spammer had found my blog and was leaving comments on older posts (like from a couple years ago). Over a few days, I noticed also that they were getting closer to the more recent ones, so I activated comment moderation.


And then completely forgot about it and couldn't understand why no one was leaving any comments on the last few posts!!! So this morning, I went to check settings to see if something was amiss.


And it was, but not with blogger... my memory was amiss. I didn't recall I had done this until I saw the long list of comments waiting to be approved! 


So I think I am now going to switch to word verification, because this is obviously too much work! And if I don't remember to look, no one will ever be commenting on here again.


Time to institute the KISS principle... keep it simple, stupid!!!


Sorry for the confusion, folks. :-\

  3. I would say "Senior moment" but that would be rude.
    Mark it down as scheduling conflict

  4. SF: It's called "meno-brain"... although it is highly annoying right now, everything I have read says the memory will return to its former sharpness once the hormone flucuations settle... in about 10 years' time. *sigh*

  6. XL: The Mounties always get their man... and since I am not one of those *looks down top to double check*, they have no idea where to find me. ;-)

  13. Hope: Yeah, but this flatulence is lasting way too long... ;-)

    Pat: Sometimes oblivion is a good place to be!

    Scarlet: You're cut and paste job is showing up as little boxes... not hearts!

    Jimmy: So when are you going to open up your blog for comments? Or do you just want to schmooze all over Bloggeritaville from now on? Well, whatever you do, I'm just glad you're back amongst us! xoxo

  17. But I see hearts from here... is this an IE verses Mozilla problem?
    Sx

  18. I use Google Chrome, Scarlet, so not sure about the IE vs Mozilla thing.
