Site Update : No Moderation of Comments – v 0.95
Here is a small update related to leaving comments. I have decided to completely remove moderation of comments on this site. From now on, whether you are commenting for the first time or the 50th time, your comment will be published right away without any moderation or approval from me. I somehow think that making readers wait before their comments are published on my site is something I should avoid. Spam should be taken care of automatically, by the way. If spam does manage to get through, I should know about it when I check the site.
This change can be considered a minor update compared to the last one, v 0.94 . This current update should hopefully have a significant impact in the long run. The numbering system is a random system I chose in order to make it easier for both myself and you to keep track of changes. The latest change is v 0.94 .
I hope this update makes it easier for you to comment, as your comment will be published right away once you submit it. This update does mean more work for me as I have to check the site more regularly to make sure no spam got through, though I think such an effort is worth it. If for any reason your comment disappears or does not get approved instantly, please contact me and I will find out what happened to your comment. Thanks for all your comments and support so far. Please let me know if I can do anything else to improve commenting or any other aspect of the site.
I am also going to try some new things on this site: one will be to go through the previous posts and find out the posts which have lose ends. Some ends can be tied, while some blog ends can be kept open. Some ends, like promises or expectations, need addressing. I will try to address them soon.
Thank you for reading this.

That will be good, I am actually planning to do that too. You know what you should add? Those spam protecting fields (ex: numbers etc – hm, kinda forgot what it is called at the moment!) Hope it helps =)!

Vera, thanks for letting me know.
It should help, as long as you have security precautions in place. Do you get a lot of spam?
The captcha type tests [the ones you mentioned] can help some sites also. Ronald [the link below yours] does that on his site.
Ronalfy, lol. I should start moderating all your comments then? =D

Thanks for visiting, by the way. I hope you take a peek at some other posts also and find something interesting. If there is a topic you had in mind that you would like to see me obsessing/writing about, please let me know.
Thanks again!
