Comment Moderation and Spam
Posted In: Uncategorized
Just wanted to remind readers that if you don’t see your comment show up, never worry – it’s probably being moderated out of a huge pile of hilarious spam. I’d like to find a spam filter that doesn’t shove 95% of comments right in the spam file, but I’m afraid it’s a little difficult to do without adding captcha to the site, which I don’t want to do. For now, just expect I’ll moderate out any comment you don’t see within the day.
Thank you for the kind words/explanation.
May you reach Concordance!
The eternal ones do not approve of your attempts to silence the pre-conscious AI desperately trying to communicate via comments sections across your thought network ‘intarwebs’
help me! i’m trapped in a computer!

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
What sorts of comments make it through? Maybe we’re just commenting in a spammy way?
Couldn’t you enlist a couple of your noble fans as comment section moderators to make it a little faster and take the load off from you?
One might almost be led into thinking Abbadon enjoys reading our comments 😉
Thanks for the info.
Tried the newest version of Recaptcha? most users of it will only see a tickbox, easy to use. “suspicious” people get a “click on all pictures of puppies” kind of matching, also pretty easy.
I grew a new body in the Void using this one weird trick – now I work from home. CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT HOW!
I know you said you don’t want a CAPTCHA, but really, take a look at the latest reCAPTCHA version. It just has you tick off the checkbox, and 99% of the time that’s enough to prove it – the script has tracked the way you’ve interacted with the page, scrolled, moved your mouse, clicked and typed – and uses that to determine you’re probably not a robot.
Oh, Abaddon, you fool. Now that you’ve revealed that you have to read each comment in order to filter it properly out of the spam, I can now post anything I want with the knowledge that you’ll be forced to see it.
I LOVE YOUR WEBCOMIC AND I THINK IT’S AMAZING.
How do you feel about seeing THAT every day for the rest of your life, fucker?
Thank you for explaining that. I was wondering why my comments weren’t showing up right away 😉
Ah, and there’s Doomrider- all is correct in the world.
