In general, I won't log in to comment. I'm lazy that way. <br /><br />But, 'tis your own private place here in Blogovia, and you should do what makes *you* happy.<br /><br />I have *tried* to make mine totally open (I can use all the comments I can get!) but I'm still not sure I have succeeded.SlikRXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385000304830840202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-9639431008649977282010-02-17T05:12:55.977-06:002010-02-17T05:12:55.977-06:0010.5

I rant on for half a pages worth, and hit post, and it messes up. usually its word verification or it is Righteous orbs comment section which -at a point in time- was annoying. And I would jut give up.<br />For me personally to see the word verification is something that stops me from posting -unless I feel i have something I just have to get out on a subject... So maybe its a really good thing to have, now that I think about it :)<br /><br />And I agree very much on the gnome and Tobold. The former does not allowed any other posts than praise, and the latter does tend to have some stale and weird comments where 5 people in a row say the same things.Dwismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332850111235993334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-849817569676113992010-02-15T16:13:35.077-06:002010-02-15T16:13:35.077-06:00Since I can't comment on blogger unless people...Since I can't comment on blogger unless people have anon commenting turned on I have to say I have no objections to word verification. (i.e. I give it a 0). I would much rather my favourite bloggers both allowed me to comment and didn't get spam :PTamhttp://www.righteousorbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-10024317131513123052010-02-15T15:22:18.282-06:002010-02-15T15:22:18.282-06:00@Larisa: I've done that for a few posts now. ...@Larisa: I've done that for a few posts now. It worked, for those posts. I refuse to give up open commenting. It adds a significant delay which stifles conversation and the last thing I want is to discourage commenting. It's almost insulting in a way, arrogant, as if saying "Whatever you have to say is not worth saying unless I say so." I trust Tobold isn't practicing censorship, but our favorite social doesn't take well to criticism. I don't wish to tempt myself with the ability to remove the annoyance of other points of view.<br /><br />@Eversor: I shall look for a template that makes this blog appear as a really boring Word document. Actually there's an idea: copy the post to a document so you can read it peace and do the same with comments. Or I suppose there is work, but that's so dreadfully boring.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-22375550787526994432010-02-15T14:06:30.181-06:002010-02-15T14:06:30.181-06:00Word verification is only annoying if I hear the b...Word verification is only annoying if I hear the boss coming down the hall and I'm trying to get my response "submitted" before she gets to my door and sees what I'm doing!

There is one thing you can do however: if you have an old post that is especially much spammed, you can change the settings for that specific post. Set it to "show comments but don't allow any new", once you've taken away the spam. You can do that within the post editor, if you click "post options" or something like that, at the bottom of the editor page, where you set date and put lables, you'll find it.<br /><br />Once I've locked up an old post, the spam for that very post will cease.<br />It has helped me a bit, although they keep finding new old posts to spam. <br /><br />It really drives me a bit nuts too. Tobold and Gevlon have given up on open commenting, requiring approvement before it's shown. I really can't blame them. If it's like this for me, how isn't it for the bloggers with a much bigger audience? Must be a nightmare, really.Larísahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.com
