Open Comments (For Good)
R. Alex Whitlock
Thanks to Mike's hard work, we've got Captcha working and therefore we won't have to close comments again until the spammers figure out a way to work around it. Logging in is still helpful because you can edit your comments and you can avoid the Captcha inconvenience, but you no longer have to.
However, now that accounts were created using specific names, that means that the name cannot be used if you're not logged in (which is why Mike uses Tefkam and I use R. Alex instead of RAW). If you want to change the account name or something so that you can use your name without logging in, please let me know.
Anyhow, thanks a lot, Mike!

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
