I’ve already written about the spammers this site has attracted. Most of them try to promote online casino nonsense. Lately, I’ve been busy deleting their comments every single day.

To prevent their comments from appearing even for a second, I’ve changed the comment settings. If you’re new to this site and leave a comment, it now needs to be approved manually before it becomes visible. Once you’ve had an approved comment, future comments will no longer require moderation, as the system remembers previously approved users.

Until now, all comments were set to auto-approve — a decision I made to create the best possible user experience. In hindsight, that decision was a bit naive. The internet is full of scammers using automated bot accounts to spread spam. To keep this site clean, I had to adjust the settings.

My apologies to everyone who visits and simply wants to comment in good faith.

Unfortunately, this is just the reality of the internet today.
