Comments Moderation: The Horns of the Dilemma...

Okay, here is what I am gonna do.  I am going to publish a bunch of questionable comments that have been holding for various lengths of time.

Then I am going to hold to this policy:
You have to have a name to comment on my page. 
Bob.  Jane.  Dick.  Ewa.  Jesuah.  Illia.  Ghengis.  Whatever.
But a name, like that thing your parents gave you when you were born.

In future, if your 'name' is Tadalafil Discount, Sildenafil Citrate, Gardening Seeds, or arizona bankruptcy lawyers - you will not find your comments making the page.

I don't care what your internet site contains. You can sell whatever you please on your pages.  I just want that when you visit me, you visit me as yourself. Not as your business.

And seriously? I'd give you the same reception at my doorstep. If you knock on my door and ask what I am growing in those pots, I'll let you in. If you knock on my door and hold up a flier for some product? I'm gonna shake my head no and send you on your way.

So in future, and arizona bankruptcy lawyers, I'm lookin' at you... come by with a name, I'll set out some iced tea and we can talk.

{edited 03.30.09 - Ok, for those of you still unclear on the concept - Thank you Kurt, for pointing this out to me; I would never have thought I'd need to spell this out - the CONTENT of the comment needs to apply to the post being commented on. Kurt, you get one free pass on this one, but jeezloueeze... really?}

Ha ha ha. Go Jenn!

Knock on wood here, I haven't had this issue yet. My blog is still young I guess.

Thanks for the laugh, Jenn.

Sounds like a plan. I'm not gonna sell you anything.

Bill, your page is the perfect model - have a blog that talks about your interests, including work - sell the work aspect on the sidebar.

But even the folks that link their names straight to a commercial site - I wouldn't mind that if they weren't selling with the name, too...

Thanks, Deb! I'm not in the market for any monkeys, that's why I come over to visit yours!

Comment spam: the cross we all have to bear.

I feel your pain. Luckily, I don't get too much of that stuff, but what I do get is a pain in the derrier!
