More stuff disappearing down holes and getting fished back out
One of the regular commenters to this site,
my brother Gunnar with his son Ari Sigurður
For over a month now, all comments to this site have been automatically marked as spam so they were not published and I never knew they were there. Whoops. I have fixed it now. Sorry folks, I was not dissing you by rejecting your comments!
(Background: of all comments submitted to my site, about 86% are advertisements for poker websites or online pharmacies peddling viagra substitutes. The rest I call “real comments.” My site semi-automatically separates the wheat from the chaff … except when it goes haywire and fully-automatically guns everything down as chaff)
The option “Blacklist comments from open and insecure proxies” did this to me. Sounded like a good idea at the time, and it worked just fine until I moved this site to Textdrive hosting. Turned it off and now comments work fine. So if you are using WordPress and want to use this option, then do some testing!
