I logged in to find several dozen spam comments today. I’ve noticed a trend of more and more spam comments (and if yours have gone into the memory hole, I apologize—I’m just deleting spam without looking these days).
As a result, I’m putting comments registration on yet again. If you’ve already registered, all you have to do is log in to comment. If you want to register, I need to see a legitimate email address or your registration will be deleted. I have no desire to use your email address for anything at all except to acknowledge that you exist.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but let’s face it—you’re not a very talkative bunch here. There are a few dozen commenters out of thousands of readers. Which makes my job easier, so I’m not really complaining.
I had to remember my password
I had to shut down registration at the poetry site I admin due to spammers.
I hope that this gets rid of them.
