Programming Note.
We have had an influx of Glenn Beck lemmings here recently, who are all currently making plans to commit treason in their so-called “sleeper cells.” So I should give them a few tips on commenting here before they cry censorship.
1. If you post a comment with 2 or more links in them, it goes to the spam filter. We contributors get an email advising us of this fact, and we, as quickly as we can, release that comment from the spam filter so long as the links are not to porn sites and the like. So relax before you think we are censoring you. It is not us, just the commenting program.
2. Any comment calling for or threatening physical violence against a specific person, or any comment posting someone’s name, address, telephone number or any other identifying information will be deleted and you will be banned. That is simple blog etiquette and standards, and crying censorship over that is a lot like a convicted murderer crying about his freedom being taken away. You lose your right to free speech here if you partake in outting and personal threats. You can call us socialists, communist, idiots, or morons, but you cannot threaten violence and you cannot post personal information. One such Glenn Becker tried 10 times today to post personal information of one of our contributors, I guess thinking that posting such information makes them win the argument through intimidation. To that person, and any like him, we say Fuck You, for you are scum.
3. If you post a comment that has over 1000 words, it is also moderated like a comment with 2 links in it. Again, it is not us censoring you, it is the WordPress program. And in this case, it won’t allow it to be posted. So feel free to argue with us, but be aware of the site’s commenting limitations.
Thanks.
I should also point out that those who do threaten physical violence, or those who do attempt to out anyone here that we will take whatever actions we deem necessary to not only protect ourselves and our families, but also to make you suffer the consequences of such actions.
The spam filter or the moderation queue?
Spam filter. I refer, perhaps wrongly, to comments being placed in the spam filter as being moderated.
Moderation queue, Dana, although sometimes comments end up in spam.
Clear enough? LOL!
Well now I am confused. We are talking about 2 things here. Comments that are moderated are the ones that end up in the moderation queue, and they are only moderated by contributors if those comments attempt to out someone, or if those comments threaten violence.
Comments containing 2 or more links or are over 1000 words are put in the spam filter, and can be released by us.
some actually posted personal info on one of you guys? like the terrorists who attack planned parenthood doctors?
the RIght Wing Republi-queda (as i will now refer to them) are just about to go too far. i hope they enjoy the new re-americanizing camp in Castro DIstrict San Fran
You can get stuck in the moderation queue. You usually get there if you put in proper names, I think.
One of them tried. He was not successful. But I thought I should remind them about how normal human beings act.
careful. these terrorists post personal info on their own terrorist blogs.
Anything that can be done to block spamsters is a good thing.
I have no problem with dealing with different opinions, and can handle attacks.
What really offends me are the parasitical squatters who invade domains of discussion with their crap.
I think we and all agree on this and should exchange ideas freely without regard to ideology.
A blog with rules? Published rules?
How quaint.
Seriously, thanks to everybody who writes and contributes to this blog. You folks rock!
I agree with Art Downs.
World Ends.
😉
This one spamster is one mistake away from a world of hurt.
protack?
actually, these right wing Beck loving terrorists are starting to make me miss mild right wingnuts like Mike. and oh that GLORIOUS lip caterpillar
