Trying to find the trust in people once again
Posted on August 11th, 2008 in Personal Messages, This Blog | 2 Comments »
A while back I turned comments off to unregistered users that were not logged in. What that did in effect was make it so that you had to not only register but also login in order to post comments on my blog.
I know that is a hassle but I was getting so much frickin spam that I had to do something. Akismet was doing nothing. I was moderating upward of 40 spams a day and I got tired of it.
But lately I have had a change of heart. I have ran across several very popular blogs that do not require user logins or even registration. And if those large scale blogs that are read by thousands of viewers a day can do that then my scant little blog can certainly do that, too.
So today I am restoring my trust in people. Trust that they will not abuse my little blog that all three of my loyal readers visits once every couple of weeks. Trust that spambots will not launch an all out attack against my little space on the internet. Trust that, if given the chance to say something about something that I have said, people might just speak up if it is easy enough for them to do so.
So I invite you to comment freely on my rants and blurbs. Beginning today.
