Need a bit of input on something.

The Ranter
The Views of The Ranter

Howdy folks,

Okay, totally off our normal ranting, arguing and raving I have a question to pose to all.

When commenting, linking back or whatever does anyone feel entering in all those blasted letters, etc. the blog displays for user input create problems for you? Originally I instituted this option due to an attack on the site within the comment section. That was when I began moderating the comments prior to them being published online. It was also the time some idiot statedted spamming thousands of users with the old email address.

Here I am a security consultant and left the blog wide open to attack, thus the implementation of those characters that tend to drive some people to drinking large amounts of alcohol. Oh, wait, that was just my last get together, I needed an excuse and that served pretty well. (Smile)

Now that the blog is in the beta area of blogger, (gee, that was such a great decision on my part) and we do experience a few problems from time to time perhaps I should turn that security feature off and see if the blog can live with that decesion.

Any input would be appreciated.

    Being the delicate flower that I am, timid and hesitant to express my viewpoint I don't have a need for Word Verification or Comment Moderation. I do use them, though, to stop distribution of spamola.

    I just thank that the need to have each comment approved is a hinder to the free-low of info posted to the comments.. I know that your absences are beyond your control, but when you are not available to approve comments, then your blog layes idle and that is bad for the continuation of the thread..

    I usually have to type in the "code" twice tho, and that gets kinda tedious too..

    But its your blog and I know it gets to be a BIG problem when somebody tries to make it a lot of work, but havin to approve each and all comments can be a hassle too..

    I just get impatient to see my comments appear tho, and have been reluctant to post second or third comments due to the fact my first hasnt appeared yet..

    Sometimes I have stuff that is long and I caint tell how much of the first comment was cut-off and where to start the second.. So I just dont post it..

    Okay, I feel the same Wild Bill and when I started it that way I did not care for it as it did hinder free flow. I am going to make the change all around and see if we can live with it.

    If the attacks and hate begin I can always change it back.

    Thanks all

    Let's give it a try, this is now the way it was at the start. Commenting and free flow conversation.

    Good luck.
